hat horizontally; when along came

A Unique Service.
On Wedesday night a large number
of people assembled in the Baptist
church building for a special service.
A program ending with the burning of
a momjage was carried out. Joy anu
enthusiasm marked the whole pro
gram and at the end the peoplo stood
up and sang "Praise God from whom
all blessing flow" while the pastor as
sisted by one of the deacons applied the
match and the mortgage went up in
flame and smoke.
On May 1st, 1909, the church bought
the property known as the Unitarian
corner trivinir a mortgage, besides an
initial payment, for two thousand five
hundreddollars, covering a period ot six
yenrd. The mortgage had still to run
two years, but recent real Oitnte deals
enablod the church to cancel the mort
gage at this time, hence 'tho burning.
The church is now entirely out of debt,
with propertuy valued at ten thousand
dollars, and a fair sum of money as a
starter towards the new church edifice.
The erection of tho latter will begin
probably within n few weeks, as negoti
ations are now on for tho immediate
removal of the old hall from the cor
ner adjoining the new federal building.
