BUILD AT once
Handsome New Church Home
With Ample Accommodations
To Be Erected

various classes in the Sunday
School was unique and interest
ing. AS requested by the pas
ter and superintendent on the
previous Sunday, banners will
appropriate notices were dis.
played by each class. These mot
tees reflected the sentiment oi
the various classes in a striking
manner. Some of them said
Give Us Room" ''Do Il
Now ;" There is only one real
time-it is now;" 'If Jesus be
our cornerstone, let Our building
Ee worthy of Him ;" "A time 70
break down and time to build
Up" and many others equally
appropriate to the ocvcasion. In
addition to the notices, some Of
the teachers or a member Of the
class spoke some fitting words
with reference to the need of a
new church building.
Rev. T. ?. Dudley made a fine
talk on the various notices aud
said that the banner presented
~ the Beginners department,
which read Give us room" :"
was the best of all.
Mr.. Harvey Chenault, chair
man of the building com,iiittee,
asked the church and Sunday
School to authorize the commit
tee to begin at once the wreck
ing of the old building and TO
pledge their assistance in clean
ing the bricks so that they could
DC used i'll the new building.
The same interest and enthu-
siasm was shown in the II
0 clock service at which time the
church adopted the following
recommendations made by the
deacons of the church:
THAT the church take steps
immediately toward DuldlnS q
new house of worship;
2-That the church authorize
building committee to take up
the matter with our architect,
Mr.. Z. Stamler, of Lexington,
and have him secure bids on the
separate contracts as soon as,
possible and report same to the
building committee.
3-That the church instruct
the building committee to pro-
ceed as soon as possible to have
the old building wrecked and the
material salvaged 50 as to have
everything ready for the .actual
construction to begin at an early
date.
4-That the finance committee
be authorized to collect as many
piedges as possible SO as to have
funds in hand for the payment
CT our obligations when they fall
due.
DIR. Green stated that since the
Plans for the new building had
been started four of the original
members Of the building conf
flittee had gone. Mayor L. 2.
Lvans, R. {. H. Covington and
Calvin Taylor had passed to their
heavenly reward, and c. II. Eng
lish had moved to Virginia. On
ly the chairman, Mr.. Chenault,
remained. II was necessary to-
appoint additional members of
the committee whose names are
as follows: DIR. H. G.. Sandlin,
Prof. J, A. Kunkel, Mrs. Sallie
.. Wagers, Miss Bessie Dudley
and Mrs. Joe Oldham.
The plans for the new build
ins were drawn three years ago
by Architect Z. Stamler, Lexing
ton. On account of the high cost
of labor and materials it was
thought best to defer the build
ing OF the church to more IA
vorable time. in the meantime
the Lawrenceburg Disciples
church saw these plans and were
50 pleased with them that they
adopted them with few minor
changes. A committee from the
FIRST Baptist church visited Law
rcnceburg to see the new church
last Thursday and were so de-
lighted with it that they came
back filled with enthusiasm and
determination to begin the erec-
ton of the building at once.
The building will be erected on
tie present site of the old church
and will be constructed of gray
pressed brick with Bedford stone
trimmings and green tiled roof.
The auditorium will contain am
rIe accommodations for 900 or
mere and will be elegantly fin
isled.
