this was the first service in our

All the congregations in the town of
every denomination gave way to witness
this solemn service, and to worship
with us for the first time in our new
church. Rev. Jno- F. Lawson presided,
preached and propounded the constitutional
questions. Rev. W. F. Tims charged
the pastor and Rev. C. H. Maury
charged the congregation. A union service
was a Grain held In tho owoninB

which time the newly installed pastor
preached to a large congregation.
Everyone who sees the new church
declares it to be a perfect gem of beauty
and architectural design. The exterior is
of gray pressed brick, and the Interior
is of a mahogany finish, everything
blending together in perfect harmony.
The ladies carpeted with a beautiful
green carpet the whole building including
the Sunday School room and all the
class rooms.
