Rev. Mr.. Miller preached at both the
morning and evening services yester-
day in Bolton street church. The
church is being repaired, that will
probably be finished within another
week. New carpets are to be laid, and
decorating and other interior work is
yet to be done, but it is expected to
complete these and have the church
ready for the special services 10 be
held by Sunday, Nov 2S. The progress
of the work already shows that the in
terror is to be pretty and attractive,
and with the general arrangement
more convenient than before.
An incident of the church meeting
after the regular morning service was
the recalling of Rev Miller, whose
1t was the desire that he remain, and
the unanimity of the call was the oc-
casion for a jubilee. During his pas
torate Mr.. Miller has been exceedingly
earnest and industrious in the prosecu-
ton of his work, and results of the
best character make for him a fine
church record. To his perseverance
and progressiveness is largely due the
improvements now being made, to-
gether with a large accession to the
membership.
