Building and Improvements
There has been considerable
building on the district this year
and most OF Il has been about com
pleted. Whites Chapel on Nassau
charge which was burned two years
ago, has been replaced by a very
neat little structure quite suitable to
the needs of that community. It
has basement under the entire
building which is fitted up for com
munity services. II is heated by
pipeless heater; lighted by electric
ity; has hardwood pews and stain
ed glass windows and walls and
ceiling covered with decorated
metal. 1t is a gem OF a church
building. These people deserve a
great deal of credit along with their
pastor, Rev. l.. II. McI.ain, for the
mener in which they have carried
this church project to completion.
The cost was about $500. OF this
they have paid $1,000 leaving only
$500 yet unpaid, which is a great
achievement for them and meant
some real sacrifice on their part
There are no regrets and they are
happy. The Church was dedicated
on one OF the most stormy day,
In the winter, December 4. Tn,
pastor was assisted in tho dedicatory
services by Rev. II. r. Reed, Of Mil
ton, Del, and the writer.
BLADES has long needed A new
church building in which to house
their growing congregation. They
have constructed a neat and attrac.
tive two-room church on the sigh
Of the old one. using a part OF the
frame OF the former building. 1
Is heated by pipeless heater
lighted by electricity; has meta
walls and ceiling; seated witt
modern hardwood pews. ha
stained glass windows and Is in ever,
way up to date. This house would
have been dedicated this year hat
IL not been for the delay in some o.
the final furnishings. II will NEE
the needs OF this community 10
years to come. The Rev. r. Ware
Mills, the pastor. has been the activ,
spirit in this enterprise and but FOL
his tact, wise leadership and un
daunted courage It could hardl,
have come to such satisfactory com
! pletion. The good people OF thi
place have given and given unit
they feel Il keenly, but they hav,
proceeded on the principle tina
nothing is too good or too much 10
the Lords cause and they rejoic,
in It. OF the cost Of the building
$3,500 has been paid.
MT Zion, Bethel Charge:-Thos
who recall the little church whicl
stood like a lonely sentinel along tn
cement road leading from Seafor,
to Laurel, about half way, and re
member It's rather shabby appear
ance will be surprised when the.
travel that way now TO see a splen
did modern structure which stand
in the place of the old one. II ha
long been desired and greatly need
ed and now accomplished. Mt. Zio
Is good to look upon and Is a credi
to the faithful few who, led by thei
pastor. Rev. G. r. Wood, have mad
this achievement possible. The de
tails OF the finish and furniture hav
not been supplied to me. The cos
OF this building is about $1,000. o
which $4,000 have been paid thi
year which is very fine showing /
would have been dedicated thi
Conference year had It not been 70
the tardiness of transportation com
panies.
