Building and improvements.
There has been considerable build
ing on the district this year and most
OF it has been about completed
Whites Chapel. on Nassau charge.
which was burned two years ago, has
been replaced by n very neat little
structure quite suitables TO the needs
OF thnt community. II has n basement
under the entire building, which In
fitted up for community services. II
is heated by pipeless heater; lighted
by electricy; has hardwood pews and
stained glass windows and walls and
ceiling covered with decorated metal.
II Is a gem Of a church building. These
people deserve n great deal of credit
along with their pastor, Rev. l.. r.
McLain. for the manner in which they
have carried this church project TO
completion. The cost was about $500.
or this they have paid $1,000 leaving
only $500 yet unpaid. which is 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 days in the winter. De-
cember 4. The pastor was assisted I'm
the dedicatory services by Rev. II. e.
Reed OF Milton. and the writer.
Blades has long needed new
church building in which 10 house their
growing congregation. They have con-
structed a neat and attractive two
room church on the site of the old
one. using n part of the frame of the
former building. 1t is heated by pipe
less heater; lighted by electricity; has
metal walls and ceiling; seated with
modern hardwood news; has stained
glass windows and is in every way UP
to date. This house would have been
dedicated this year had II not been
for the relay i'm some OF the final FUR
nishings. IL will meet the needs OF this
community for years to come. Rev
:, Il. Ward Mills. the pastor. has beer
the active spirit in this enterprise and
but for his tact, wise leadership and
undaunted courage il could hardly
have come 10 such satisfactory com
pletion. The good people OF this place
have given and given until they Zee
