emphasized by large numbers Of peo-
pie being turned away from the
church doors during the ? ogress OF
the meeting conducted by the pastor
with the assistance of the Rev. Mr..
Cooper, on account OF lack OF room
in the church for the great crowds
which were eager to attend the SER

morning was on the subject Of CIV
ing, and at its conclusion the sub
scriptions for the new church build
ing were taken.

church at the corner of Caldwell and
Boundary streets, moving the par
sonage near where the present church
structure stands, and building the new
church on the site of the parsonage.

of the congregation and a credit to
