A GREAT DAY FOR THE MIDDLEBURY
MEMBERS OF THAT FAITH-THE CERE-
MONIES AND THE BUILDING.
Yesterday was a red-letter day for the
Methodists of Middlebury and its vicin-
ity, for 1t witnessed the dedication of the
handsomest church they ever had here.
The attendance was large, including not
only people from this and adjacent towns,
but also many former members of the
church from abroad. Almost all the
clergy of the region round about were
here.
The morning service began at 10 o'clock.
1t opened with an organ voluntary by
Mr.. o. j. Sawyer, which was followed
by the singing of the doXology by the
congregation. Then the anthem, at shall
come to pass, was rendered by Mr..
Alfred e. Woodward and the choir, the
other singers being Mrs. G. L. Nutting
and Misses Lottie Langworthy, Lizzie
Barton, Kate Boyce and Anna Youtt,
soprano; Mrs. VIM. Jackson, Mrs. E. H..
Thomas and Miss Ella Slade, alto !;
Messrs. f. II. Thomas and E. z. Roscoe,
tenor. and Messrs. Frank and Charles
Hubbard, George L. Hasseltine and Stan
ton S. Eddy, bass.
Presiding Elder j. j. Noe of Rutland
led the congregation in the responsive
reading of Psalm cXXli, following in a
brief but especially fervent prayer.
Rev. L. G. Thompson of Burlington
read the third chapter of Philippians.
Rev. c. F. Noble, the pastor, announced
that he was about to give to the congre'
cation a practical illustration of the un-
certainties of all human plans. Bishop
Andrews of New York, who, accord
ing to the order of exercises, was to
haye delivered the sermon of the morn
ing, telegraphed that owing to sickness
he would not be able to be present. Added
to this, Rev. DR.. j. II. Coleman of Sara
toga, n. Y, who was to do the soliciting
and preach the evening sermon, had tel
graphed that because of the death of one
of his leading churchmen he would also
be unable to attend. Mr.. Noble re-
marked that Bishop Andrews had fur
nshed an able substitute in the person of
Rev. DR.. j. R. Day of Calvary Methodist
church of New York city.
DR.. Day took for his text John ix.,
25-"Whether he be sinner or not |
know not; one thing know, that where
as [ was blind now see." The leading
purpose of the preacher was to point out
some of the practical results that had
come to mankind from the presence of
Christ upon the earth. 1t was an elo-
quent appeal to Christians to stand firm
in the faith; to waste no time in delying
into impenetrable mysteries, but to &c
ahead and work upon of the basis OF
what was understood.
Chairman Philo Severance of the build.
ing committee read a statement of the
financial condition of the society, OF
which the following is Synopsis:
