ABBEVILLE'S NEW CHURCH,
A Historical Day In the Churches of
AbbeviIle.

Last Sabbath was glad day for our little

including Miss Leila Russell, were present,
to aid In the singing, which was good. DR..
Lowry Wilson made the opening prayer.
After the singing he read parts Of the End
Psalm, the 22ud, and part of 2lst chapter Rev.
eation, and then led In prayer. He chose for
his text this passage OF Scripture, taken from
the 2nd chapter Of Haggal: And will fill
this house with glory Bro: Moffat had a
capital sermon and made a fine impression
on the large audience. We heard good
Judge of another denomination say, II would

count of the dedication, with cut OF the
building, has been prepared for the Press and
Banner. We took full notes OF the sermon,
but will hold off until next issue and will
then publish as much as We can use In that
issue. DR.. H. T. Sloan made the dedicatory
prayer. II was in every way most suitable
and appropriate. IL was uttered tenderly
and with much feeling. Rev. F. Y. Pressly
announced that DR.. Sloan would preach that
evening at 4.30 O'Clock, and Rev. MIR. Mohatt
that night in the Presbyterian church. We
understand that the church building cost the

and Christian kindness shown by the people
OF Abbeville. and by all others who have aid
