Quite a number of Loup City people
went down to Austin last Sunday to
attend the dedication of the new
Presbyterian church at that place.
The building was crowded to its ut
most capacity, the seats capable of
holding about 140 persons was wholly
taken up, many seats brought from
the school house, which were also
taken and large numtiers occupied
the standing room and were thronged
about the building on the outside.
Rev. McEwen preached the dedicatory
sermon and then lifted the indebted
ness off the church, • which onlv
amounted to some $200. The house
of worship is an extra fine one, much
finer than one would suppose could
have been builded in such a small
place, with only a farm population to
support it, but the people of the
country surrounding Austin are a
progressiue community and evidently
considered nothing was too good and
so secured the best. They are to be
congratulated on the outcome and
have one of the neatest and most
commodious churches in this section
of the country and entirely free of
indebtedness, which is a pearl of
great price to them.
