There was a wide interest in the

audience. The auditorium was COM
pletely filled by the congregation.

ST. Presbyterian Church, offered the
opening prayer. and the benediction
was given by the pastor, the Rev.
Thomas p. Holloway.

West Presbyterian Church, congratu
lated the members of Second Baptist
Church, saying that with their sple8-

portunities to emphasize the old facts
OF the Christian faith, loyalty to the
Church of God, loyalty to the creed
of Christianity and loyalty to the di-
vine Christ. He congratulated them
on the building. not that they had
reached the summit of their aims, but
they had reached an altitude from
which they could catch a wider vision
of wider possibilities for greater useS
fulness and service. He urged them
to dedicate all their powers to the
work of the Kingdom, saying surely
they would not falter now that they
had been so wonderfully blessed, but
would be all the more loyal to Christ.

Harrison Street ME- Church, brought
