HARD WICK.
Baptist Church Dedicated.

The Free Baptist society of Hardwick
has recently completed new church ed
ihce, and on Sunday the dedicatory ex-
ercises were held within its walls. Ali
the church societies, including the
pastors, were present and aided in the
dedication. The sermon and appeal for
help was preached by Rev. F. w. Reader,
and was a success. Owing to the abb
sence of Rev. M. c. Henderson of st.
Johnsbury, the prayer of dedication was
made by Rev. M. Atwood of st. Johns
bury. The services, both afternoon and
evening, were interesting and impressive.
One very notable feature of this church
is that although the expense amounted
to $4,000, every dollar has been sub
scribed and the society starts out under
encouraging circumstances, with the
prayers and best wishes of the COM
munity.
