The new building of the North Wild
wood Union Su~nday-school was used
for the first time last Sunday, when
services were held morning, afternoon
and evening. The morning and even
ing services were in charge of A. F.
Hirst, of West Seventeenth avenue, a
local preacher, who has had charge OF
services at the fire house for
time past. He was assisted in the
evening by Mrs. Kirkpatrick, a re-
turned missionary from India, and 9TH
ers. Rev. C. Van Dyke Conover, pastor
of the Anglesea M. e. Church, had
charge of the afternoon services.
There were good sized congregations
at all the services. Although the
church is only partly completed, no
windows being in and no interior
finish having been done, but these
ardent workers determined to have a
place of worship and could not wait
until the completion of the editice.
No windows are yet in the building
but they were covered with cloth to
help keep out the weather. Several
windows have been donated, including
the large loaded front window, 1.-THE
Good Shepherd and His Sheep" cost
ing, $500, donated by Henry H. Ottens.
There are still a few windows to be
provided for and anyone wishing to
contribute toward them will find 1t a
very appropriate memorial. Services
are to be held every Sunday now until
the weather forbids. The building has
been built thus far on funds raised by
various entertainments and contr1bu-
tions, but they have gone about as far
as their means will permit at this
time. A large part of the labor has
been contributed or furnished at a
reduced rate. Contractor Richard A
Larcombe had charge of the construc-
ton.
