The action taken by the Methodist con-
gregation last Sunday in reference to
erecting a new house of worship has
aroused considerable interest in the con-
gregation. The ladies as usual have al
ready gone to work in the matter, and
they propose to hold bazaar at some
date in the near future for the purpose of
raising funds. 1t is hoped to erect brick
edifce-a handsome one, sufficient for the
needs of the congregation for many years
to come. Some are of the opinion that
the new building ought not to cost less
than ten thousand dollars. They believe
that the congregation is able to spend
this much money on new church and
that the interests of Methodism in Bam-
berg demand it.
