 Gift for 5ushnslI Chapel
 Very soon after the occupation of the new church home 1t became very apparent that the Bible school re- quired more room for the develop ment of its work. This need was brought to the attention of Mir. and the aged members of the church. who while not privileged to attend the ser vices were deeply interested in the welfare of the church and school To provide the needed room these de- voted saints made the magnificent gift of S6.000.00 to the church for the erection of an adition to the building for Bible school uses. The building committee who had served SO faith fully were still .n office and took charge of the new task carrying 1t to completion. Owing to the shape and location of the lot the selection of plans for this addition was a most perplextng problem but finally re- suited in the erection of Bushnell Chapel the home of our Bible school as we have 1t today.
 The dedication of Bushnell Chapel occurred September 17th. 1899. when many who had been active workers in the school were present and par uctpated in the exercises.

Had we been told at the beginning of this period that these strong pillars in the church would be removed we would have almost doubt Cd the possibility of oxistance without them.

Joseph Twomey and con- sider the splendid record of work &C., compiished for the Master by these two whom God has honored is it pos sibie for us to estimate the value oi the influence this church may have had In shaping the lives of these ser wants of the King. Can anyone say that among our young people of to- 01s NnCNC may not Oe OLncIa -WlO8e lives are being influenced to perform similar service.
 After ten years of faithful service As by an outourst from a clear sky on December 1st. 1901 came the resig- nation of Dr. Herr which took effect with the closing of that year.
