rooms, which, through the faithful and
loving efforts of the good ladies, assisted
by the gentlemen, had been erected in
rear of the church. This, with the re-
painting of the main building and other
improvements, have added much to the
beauty and convenience of this old, his
toric church.
The pastor, DR.. Finley, offered the dedi
catory prayer, and the Rev Charles R.
Stribling, of Waynesboro, Va, made an
interesting and appropriate address.
The Rev. Warren H. Stuart, who has
so endeared himself to this people by
his faithful work as assistant to the pas
tor for several months past, was also
present and took part in the exercises
of the day. With great reluctance the
good people give him up to prepare for
his voyage to China to join his honored
father and elder brother in mission work
in that far-off land. They follow him
with their interest and esteem and
prayers for Gods blessing upon him and
his work.
