| After Tie service the clergy and guests re-
| pared for dinner to Austiu's hotel where
they were entertained by the miss on. There
was IA large attendance both ut the church
and at the collation., but unfortunately the
bad travelling and prevailing sickness pre-
vented the addition of many more both
from Milton and other towns.
This new church will seat about $50 per-
sons, including the choir room and the Sun
day.schooi room. The latter can be opened
into the nave at any time and made prac-
| tically part OF it. 1t can also he used

three aisles There is bell tower and 4

! time for parish purposes. The building is
| of brick except the gable ends which are
wood 1t is situated in just about the geo
graphical centre of Milton village and very

! Bishop Hopkins. The builder is George w.
, King OF Milton. The cost OF the church,
including lot and furnishing thus far is
about $1,000, all paid for. Mr. Writer'S
legacy Of $1,000 first really began this pres
ent enterprise of building, Much credit is
due to the building committee and to the
! Woman's auxiliary for the success insured
as well as to the mission members and
| friends far and near.
