church Dedication Mt F,or,.

Floris. April 19.-The new Afetho-
| dist Episcopal church at Floris was
dedicated Easter Sunday bv Rev. jesse
Bowman Young, ID. d., of st. Louis,
Mo-, editor of the Central Christian
Advocate. The building is neat struc-
ture, 30N40, with an SKIS vestry at The
southeast corner, and surmounted by
a spire about fifty feet high, in which
beautiful bell will swing. The church
is seated in a se.n-circle form, with reg
ular church pews. The church, includ-
ing. the ground, cost $1,000. A call for
$500 was made to cover the indebted
ness, and in a short time nearly $500
was secured. The trustees assumed the
raising of the balance and the building
was dedicated. The appearance of
rain in the morning kept many away,
or no doubt all would have been Sc
lcured then, and the subscriptions keep
coming in from those who were not
present. DR.. Young was assisted in
1.-THE dedicatory exercises by the pastor,
Rev. III. G. Miller and Rev. Samuel The
10. of Tracy, a former pastor, and
who organized the present class. The
board OF trustees, DR.. II. C. Stevens,
A. H. Plank and S. G. Mcclure have
done nobly and have been ably sec
ionded in their work by the women of
the church. Rev. T. B. Hughes, of
BLOOMFIELD, preached Sabbath evening
an excellent sermon on the "Enormity
iof SIM" at the close of which one arose
for prayer. The lecture by DR.. Young
Saturday evening on 'The Battlefield
LOT Gettysburg was instructive, inter-
esting and enjoyed by all. The serv-
ices in the new church began April 10.
Sermons were preached by the pastor
and Rev. S. There. The new structure
lis credit to the place and speaks well
for the people. Special services are to
begin today, conducted by the pastor,
assisted by Revs. George and Jesse
lMonkman, the singing eyangelists. .

county court house was built that one
day he would be found guilty of a fell
ony III the building of which his faith

verdict OF guilty OF robbery as
charged in the Indictment, The faith

thin. His etfors in this scrape which
Con has gotten into have been untir-

could have asked of father. He has
spent money, time and energy upon
the defense of the boy but to no avail.
