BUILDING OF PRESENT CHURCH.
The present house of worship was
built in 1897 and was dedicated Decem-
Der 18th of that year. It took great en-.
ergy and tact on part of those who had
charge OF the enterprise TO bring it to
final contamination. Ii is n handsome
structure and a credit TO the society and
community.
The plant in its entirety, as it stands
today, cost alb : $14, 900 dollars. At
the time of ded ion the church was
left with an iebtedness of S3, 600
$500 of this debt was paid off several
years ago. For obtaining subscripti ons
TO pay off the balance, 81, Sal, great and
deserved credit ia due and given to the
present pastor, Rev. J. A. Stemen. He
has labored earnestly and faithfully to
this end, and a less jealous worker
would probably not have succeeded
He has been pastor nearly seven years
and during that time all departments OF
the church have almost doubled. All
who so generously contributed are also
deserving of their need of praise. ln
addition to the foregoing S275 was rails
cd for interior decoration.
