Laying of Cornerstone.

The cornerstone of the new M. E.. church was laid last Monday after noon. The weather was fine (as it usually is) and many of the members an friends of the church were pres ent. Rev. s. J. Rogers Supt. of the Mission and Rev. F. c. Reid of the Presbyterian church assisted tn e pastor in the services. This truly worked a new epoch in the history of the oldest church in Flagstaff.
 Rev. Rogers delivered an appro- priate address, and the pastor read a brief summary of the history of the church. The most impressive part of the service, the laying of the cornerstone, then took place.
 Work on the elegant new stone structure has sufficiently advanced that it is not difficult to see what the building will be like and com plimentary remarks were heard on every hand.
 Our Methodist friends are surely to be congratulated upon the prosp- ects of having in the near future, one of the most handsome places of worship to be found in the territory of Arizona.
