A Much Needed improvement.

The members OF the First Congrega-
tional church will hold n meeting in
the church Friday at > p. m, to take
into consideration the ACCESSIBILITY of
building Il new church ediiice.
This was the first church in town,
and for several years the only one. 1t
was organized in the spring OF 1882
and for more than eighteen years has
maintained its work in the commune
ty with the generous aid it has receiv-
ed from its members, the people, and
the annual assistance from the Con-
gregational Rome Missionary Society.
The present building WAS erected when
there were but few houses in the
town and when no one loresaw the
present growth.
No plan has yet been settled upon
Tor the improvements under cousidera-
ton, but some suggestions have been
made which include moving the par
sonage to the west side of the old
church, swinging the present adiiice
around to face the east, and building
the new audience room nd Joining on
the corner where the parsonage now
stands. The greater part OF the aud
fence room OF the old church would
be used Tor public reading room, the
remainder for auxiliary rooms for the
church, the whole being 50 arranged
as to be thrown into QUE room Tor
special occasions
The fact tha' this church has sus-
tanned its work SO many years, that
the Congregational Home Missionary
Society has during these years con-
tributed several thousand dolIars-
(some eight or ten)-to the moral are
religious welfare OF this community
give the members OF this church, con
tidence to undertake this much needed
improvement.
