THE MOUNTAIN CHURCH RE-DEDICATED-
The Mountain Christian Church was re-dedi-
Gated, last Sunday, with interesting services
Rev. G. K. Marshall, of Harlem Avenue Church,
Baltimore, preached in the morning, TO a WELL
filled house. In the afternoon, q Children's
Meeting took place. The attendance was IN
usually large. The church was packed almost
to suftocation and the grounds around were
also densely thronged. The exercises, which
were conducted by the Superintendent, Mr. j.
r. Orsburn, consisted of singing by the chill
dren, an excellent address by the Rev. s. A.
Hoblitzell, and sketch of the establishment of
the church, by Mr.. Orsburn. The church was
| dedicated August 21st, 1S47, and by a singular
| coincidence, without any preconcerted design,
the re-dedication occurred A years thereafter,
on the anniversary of the same day.
On Sunday night large congregation was
present, the sermon being by the PASTOR Rev.
A. K. Miller. The collections during the day
amounted to over 1925 and were sufficient to
| clear the church of all Indebtedness.
Rev. Mr.. Miller expects to preach at Harlem
avenue Church, Baltimore, next Sunday morn
| ing, and at the Mountain Church at night.
The improvements to the church, which were
described last week, are much admired and
will add greatly to the comfort of the congre-
cation.
