Newton Re5lblica1: In the matter
of church building, Newton people come
to the front this spring. First the Pres
/ byterians erected that commOdious and
comfortable, yes really elegant parsonage
and followed this by making extensive
repairs and improvements in their house
Of worship. Then the Catholics over
/ hauled their church edifce. Its interior
was made very neat and cosy. The
/ United Presbyterians are constructing a
snug church which VIII cost several
/ thousand dollars. Now it is announced
that the Methodists viii build parson-
age and a large addition to their house
of worship. Recently the COngrega-
tiOnalists have purchased two lots, and a
I good brick or stone church VIII shortly
be erected. The missionary society has
/ agreed to put fifteen hundred dollars in
to the building and liberal contributions
/ are expected from other churches Of the
/ same denomination. 1t is probable that
other churches in this city have made
improvements in their property recently
/ but We do not recall them now. The ex-
amples cited show great activity in this
direction.
