ton has accepted an invitation from
the pastor, DR.. 1. F. Fetts, to
preach the opening sermon, and
preparations have been begun to
make the opening notable event

A revival meeting, for which the
pastor formed plans some weeks
ago and announced them to his con-
gregation, will Immediately follow
the opening. DR.. Belts will be as.
sisted in the meeting by Rev. l..
7. Law OF Sloan Springs, Ark, a
preacher Of great power in evange-
lical work.
The work on the church has
progressed to point clearly indi.
eating what its magnihcence and
beauty il will be when completed.
Commodious, perfect in arrange
ment, and elegantly finished and
furnished, it will be eaisly classed
as one of the handsomest churches
to be found in any Of the smaller
cities of the state. The seating
capacity will be largely increased
over that of the church which was
burned year ago, and the audi
forum, Sunday school room and
balcony are all available for large
