services were held last Sunday morning and

the fine new church which has arisen from the
ashes of the one destroyed in the great fire of
April, 1911. The dedicatory exercises were
not held Sunday, being planned for later, but
both services were largely attended and in the
evening there was not vacant pew. At both
the morning and evening services there was
special music. Rev. Ashley A. Smith, pastor
of the church, conducted the morning service.

cially fer the occasion and the pastors of II
Bangor churches, as well as the head OF the
