Service
Culminating a period of nearly two
years of sacrifices, prayers, anxietie-s
and anticipations, the congregation
of the First Baptist Church realized
their greatest fruition on last Sun-
day morning when the doors of the
new church were swung open for the
first Sunday morning service.
The beautiifui large auditorium
was, full, the Methodist congrega-
tion having dismissed their eleven
o'clock services in order to join in the
worship at the opening of the new
church.
Announcements were made some
two or three weeks ago that the first
services would be held at that time,
but on account of some parts of the
seats not arriving it had to be post-
poned.
A program, of which Ben F. Hicks,
Sunday school Superintendent, was i"
charge, consisted of anthems, songs,;
and talks. The message of the hourj
was delivered by Rev. C. E. Dick, j
pastor. j
The scripture lesson was read by
H. M- Reed and followed with prayer:
by Rev. T. M. Johnston. E. H. Hen- j
dricks, chairman of the building; Top, picture of the new First Bap-
committee, spoke briefly of his ap- j tist Church building. Lower, Rev. C.
