Extensive repairs having just been
completed on the F. Baptist church
ediice at Sheffield. it was rededlcated
on Sunday, the fifth inst. The first
Free Baptist church of Sheffield was
organized Oct. 6, 1900. The legal
society under which the church edifice
was erected, was organized Aug. &c,
1928. The house was AZ by so feet
on the ground with spire and bell,
and cost S1,625. Those beng the
times of cheap lumber, cheap help
and long working days, that sum was
sufficient to build very respectable
meeting house. This house was ded-
icated in October 1929. The late re-
pairs consist of new boards and paint
outside. new windows, removal of
the old gallery, modern sized orches-
ira, new pulpit, pews, clock and
chandelier. The woodwork is prop
erly painted and vanished and the
plastering neatly calcimined. In
short, the house is as nearly modern
lied as possible, and about as
good as new. OF the 1881 which
these repairs cost only 1882 remained
unpaid, and that was all raised from
the audience before the house was
dedicated. AS is usual, much credit
is due to the ladies, through whose
devoted efforts these improvements
were accomplished. At the proper
time, the house was rededicated to
the worship of God, by the usual Or
der of services. Prof. w. E. Ranger
of Lyndon Institute, Revs. l. P.
Chase, E. Owen, F. L. Wiley and the
pastor, Mark Atwood, participating.
The music was appropriate and all of
the services were interesting, and the
congregation was large and appreci-
ative.-Union.
