AMERICAN BAPTIST CHURCH
II Has Provisions ID Its Plans for the
Flag
An Interesting Service Yesterday Particle
pated In by Children and Grown
People

The accompanying cut represents the
front elevation of the American Baptist
church, the corner stone of which was
laid last Sunday. The main audience
room is forty feet square. and is arranged
80 as to be combined with the present
room in most convenient manner, thus
making room seating five hundred COM
fortably. When the gallery is completed
this capacity will be increased by about
a hundred. The growth and prosre of
this enterprise are very remarkable in
deed, and the courage of Mr.. Tinker in
seizing upon this point and investing
several thousands of dollars in it. looking
to getting 1t back in the future if the
venture was a success, Is to be COM
mended and should induce liberal sub
scriptions to the entire enterprise. The
effort to secure the money for this pres
ent addition and the assurances of aid to
pay up the entire Obligation are meeting
with marked success, and friends are
coming to the front each day. 1t is
bold move. and the patriotic name and
the attendant features render it an enter
prise of which not only the immediate
community or denomination, but the
entire city should be proud.
The idea of giving to this church the
name of American originated with Mr..
Tinker, and is adopted, not as exclusive
OF any other nationality, but as inclusive

of all. as is the true spirit of this repub-
lie. The fact that the flag is to float over
its tower. as is shown In the picture, is
a guarantee that the spirit of devotion to
the true principles OF this country shall
ever be found in its adherents. Mr..
Tinker said in his remarks at the corner
stone laying last Sunday, that iii was
fitting tnat the flag the sym Dol of this
country, should be placed over this struc-
ture. because to what it represented We
owed protection from molestation in the
worship of God according to the dictates
of our consciences. and it is also fitting
and significant that the flag should be
supported by the building in which the
principles of divine truth are taught for

ment could we be assured of the perpe-
tuity of the nation"
