The New Church,

The plans for the new Baptist
church have been settled upon and
give promise of a handsome edifce.
Friday the building committee
met and closed a contract with Con-
tractor Cordray for its erection and
work will begin on it in a short
time
Among the younger members of
the congregation there is a decided
opposition to the new church being
erected on the cite of the old one,
many of them being in favor of
erecting the new building on the lot
belonging to Mr. Gee, on the corner
of Market and Vulcan street, nearer
the business portion of the city,
and the only objection to the plan,
which is looked upon with favor by
everybody that has been heard to
give expression to their views, is,
that it necessitates an outley of
about $500 to secure the lot.
