Much enthusiasm over the plans for

building for the First Baptist congre-
cation, announcement Of which was
made in The Argus of yesterday de-
veloped at the meeting of trustees
and members of the mems class last

The conference showed that the
project is meeting with hearty en-
dorsement The principal question
which is confronting the congregation
is the selection of a site. The present
location is very valuable and has a
number of other points in its favor,
but it is small and this may mitigate
against its selection for the modern
structure which is TO take the place
of the old building which was erected
in 1870.
To Canvass Funds.
If it is decided to place the new
building on the present site, the old
