BAPTIST CHURCH DEDICATED.
hreeport People Proud ofthe New struc-
ture.

Freeport, October 15.-The dedication
OF the new and handsome. Baptist church
IN this village, passed off most auspic-
uously last evening. The dedicatory
sermon by Rev. George c. Lorrimer of
fremont Temple, Boston, was a most
powerful effort, and was listened to with
attention by an immense audience. The
text was from Isaiah, 53:1.
When the sermon was about third
over an alarm of fire was given, and the
audience which packed the church to the
doors, became frightened and for time
there threatened to be a stampede. The
danger was gotten over by Mr.. Lorrimer's
presence of mind and authoritative man
ner In bidding the people remain in their
seats. He was obeyed and the danger
was passed. The church, which is an
uncommonly handsome one, particularly
as to its interior, gives great satisfac-
ton to the Freeport people.
When accounts came to be closed up it
was discovered that there was deficit
OF about S23C0 on the building, which
cost about $4,000. A collection was tax
en- to make up the deficit, and more than
SLIGO was raised, and thee building COM
m1ttee feels sure that the remainder will
be obtained in a short time.
