DEDICATION CEREMONY
Services to be Held for the
First Time in the New
Presbyterian Church.
BEAUTIFUL HOUSE OF WORSHIP
An Ornament to the Town Made
Possible Through the Generos-
ity of the Citizens.

Sunday February 6, the new Pres
byterian church will be dedicated, and
it is expected that there will be the
largest attendance ever seen at a
church service in Oroville. The build
ing is little gem outside and in, and
is monument to the zeal and, perse-
verance of the PASTOR Rev. II. NJ.
Course, the hustling ability of tie
trustees Messrs. Price Fruit and Fred.
j. Fine, and the generous and liberal
spirit of the citizens of the place. 1t
has been built largely through local
contributions, and stands creditable
ornament to the town. The character
of a community is by many measured
by the character of the places of wor-
ship in its midst, and Oroville, even in
the infant stages of its existence, can
be pointed to as unusually progress
i've in possessing superior class Of
church buildings. The first services
in the new church are to be held ex-
acIly two months from the day of the
Inauguration of work, and considering
the inclement season for carrying on
building it must be said the workmen
made very creditable record. The
pastor of the NJ. f. church very con-
siderately cancelled the services in
that church for Sunday evening so that
the members can attend the opening
of the new church. The following is
an outline of the program arranged for
Sunday services:

services of the Federated Sunday school
