IT is DEDICATED.
The Baptist Church Set Apart
for the Lords Service.

Eeature-Ine sermons were eXceIIent
Large Sum raised to Pay of the In.
debtedness Congratulations From
other Churches The Program.
The ceremonies at the dedication
of the Baptist church on Sunday
were even a greater success than
was anticipated by its promoters.
The attendance was larger than that
at any church event in the city for
long time. At all the services
many people were turned away and
large number stood through them
being unable to find seats The at
fair passed off without hitch any
where in the proceedings. The dec
orations were very beautiful consist
ing of ferns, Gala lilies and ported
plants of various kinds.
The sermon was a very fine one
and was well received by the con-
gregation Rev: Stanton made his
first appearance here to preach it
and established an enviable reputa-
tion as an accomplished pulpit ora
tor. The music was simply superb
and added no little to the occasion.
The collection which was taken
up to pay the remaining indebted
ness resulted in the sum of fifteen
hundred dollars being raised. This
makes the congregation feel very
good as but small portion remains
now to be raised The people who
have accomplished SO much after
the years of work which they have
put in the matter in the face of the
discouragements which they have
had to meet certainly deserve lot
of credit
The church as it stands repre-
sents a cost ofabout fifteen thousand
dollars. This has nearly all been
paid Off as the building progressed.
The church is one of the finest in
che state and is in every respect
modern church edifice 1t adds no
little to the reputation which Nor
gantown has of having fine churches
The services in the afternoon were
participated in by all the ministers of
the city. They all gave brief con-
gratulatory talks which were very
much enjoyed by all present.
At night Rev. Stanton preached to
very large congregation on 'The
Christian Soldier" The sermon was
very able discourse and was very
much enjoyed by the hearers. With
this service the dedication was finished
and the building was set apart to the
service Of the Lord.
