He thanked those who had liber-
ally supported the effort by giving
labor and financial aid and stated
that it was possible that at an early
date the second story would be added,
but that in its present state it was
no oubt the finest building of its
kind in Elmore county and was a
credit to the community He spoke
of the fine work of the building COM
mittee, Messrs. A. w. Tingwall, E.
H. Hamilton and B. F. Martz, with
the rector as chairman. For the
past five years." he said, ''the Rev.
Wood has been working in our midst
and we all know the result of his
untiring efforts not alone for the
good of the church, but the entire
community, and this building is the
result of his thought and labor"

fine program of music was given be-
tween the speeches by members of
the Episcopal choir, under the direc- |
tion of Mrs. L. Ingersoll, with Mrs.
e. H. Hamilton at the piano.
The evening concluded with a
dance, which lasted till the small |
hours of the morning, Hamilton's
orchestra furnishing the music. 1t
was an exceptionally warm evening,
and though the hall, which seats
over five hundred, was not full, there
were by actual count more than five
hundred present, many of whom re-
mained outside in the cool listening
to the program and lined up along
the walks on either side of the build
ing, which has three entrances and
four large double windows, which
are low enough down to see and hear
all that is going on inside when
open. At one time during the even
ing there were 1913 couples dancing
at one time, and yet-the floor did not
seem overcrowded. Those dancing
were high in their praise of the floor
and the efficient music.
