New Church AT VintOn.

For some time the members OF the
PRESBYTERIAN church residing in and
near Ninton have been thinking OF
building church in that growing
place. About three weeks since,
some of the members met and talked

securing subscriptions into the hands
of seven young ladies. They went to

secured over 100000. This was capital
