CHURCH DEDICATION.
InStalls Brass Band and Greets
Newly Married Couple.

The article below is from the
Wellsville Star. The church re-
ferred to is in Audrain county,
south of Vandalia The article
gives some early interesting his.
tory of the county and we believe
it will interest MESSAGE readers
wherever they may be:
The Mt. 0livet Presbyterian
church was dedicated November
18th. We bad a good day and
many people were present. All
the available space was occupied
and dozens were standing.
DR.. w. II. Black, President of
Missouri Valley College, preached
the dedicatorial service. This
was made very impressive.
One Of the special and very de-
lightful features of the occasion
was the music prepared by the Mt.
Olivet Brass Band. The band was
organized and began practice about
six weeks ago. You would be sur.
prised at the progress they have
made. We are Hll real proud of
the Mt. 0liyet Band.
Another notable event on ded-
ication day was a marriage. While
the marriage did not take place in
the church they were greeted and
congratulated by their friends at
the church service.
So, on November 18th, we dedi.
Gated new church installed new
band aud warmly greeted a newly
married couple. We believe we
are making progress at Nj. OIivet.
At the evening service DR.. Black
delivered Il very fine address on
the Prince OF Egypt. The church
was well filled and the audience
was intently interested aud follow
ed the speaker who told of the ply
steal, mental and religions training
of this prince. This Egyptian
Prince was the ark among the flags
and was buried on a top of noun
tain.
This was a great day aud one
long to be remembered.
There were people from almost
all the neiGhboring churches and
towns. They came from Wells
vile, Vaud lila, Middletown, Lad
donia, Gazette, Farber and many
other points no doubt, and we
hope they will come again.
We hope to have the pleasure of
entertaining Salt River Presby-
terry at Mt. Olivet next August.
And after all, our work is vain,
unless it be done for the glory of
God. We need; therefore, to re-
mind ourselves of the word of
Jesus, who said: Whatsoever ye
do ea. therefore or drink, work or
pray, build up or tear down, do all
to the glory of God.

COAL FIELD OWNERS.
Interested in the Proposed Elec-
trio R. R. Thru Mex
leo.

The Columbia Tribune a few
days ago contained the following:
There is aproject on foot among
the owners of several thousand
acres of coal land in the, neighbor-
hood of Millersburg to construct
an electric line to Columbia to con-
meet with the Mexico. Perry and
Santa Fe Traction Compauy's pro-
jected line at Hereford, in order to
market very superior grade Of
coal which is found in abundance
in n territory from Millersburg
several miles north. This coal
burns TO a pure white ash and
seems to be of a grade between the
ordinary bituminous coal and can
mel coal. While its calorfc quail
ties are equal to that of any coal,
it is especially adapted for use in
cooking, being free from clinkers
and many of the other objec-
tions to the coal indigenous to this
section of Missouri.
The coal beds cover practically
all the country mentioned above
and the coal is being mined on the
Carr land just this side Of Millers-
burg and in one or two more
places. The country round about
is furnished with coal from these
mines, the consumers hauling the
coal from shafts. 1t is also used
in Columbia by some, when the
roads between Millersburg and
Cedar creek are in condition to al
low hauling. The transportation
problem is the one that confrOnts
the owners of the extensive and
trieh coal fields. If means of put
ting the product on the market ca n
be secured, the fortunes of those
who own the land are made. The
extent of the field has been figured
by coal experts and they regard
the supply as practically inexhausti-
BILE. Electrical engineers have al
so been consulted as to the cost of
a line to Hereford and also one TO
Columbia. The quantity and quail
ity of the coal alone, not taking in.
TO consideration passenger traffic,
the engineers think, would war
rant the expenditure of building
the road.

on behalf OF the owners Of the

Of land contiguous TO the coal land.
The distance from Millersburg "a

Some remarkable revival meet

of the years, probably the greatest
in the church being one conducted

The elder Butts. a. b. Butts, Wat

have been prominent leaders in the

On September 10 of last year
thirty Ave men began to tear down
the old church building, which has
stood for forty years. Shortly
after, the work of the erecting the
new church was begun and the
building is now complete. The
dedicatory sermon was preached
by Rev. w. II. Black, DID,, presi.
dent of Missouri Valley College, at
ii a. m, on November 10. From
a mere handful of people meeting
in a one'roOm log house. lighted
by but one window ia the dey time
and hickory bark fire at night,
the congregation has growu aud
developed until now the people
are able to assemble in a modern
church building, with stained
glass windows aud lighted by gas
Oline burners. The members are
justly proud of the good record
which the congregation has made
and the beautiful new building
which they have succeeded in erect
ing.
