"NEW SAND HILL CHURCH PRESBYTERIANS HAVE PLACE OF WORSHIP, FINE First Church Erected in 1862--\ Dee scription of the New Edifice--The Opening Services. The 26th day of (eclober, 1862, was the date of the opening of the first Sand Hill church, and for forty-eight years minus nine days did the Presby terians of North Pittsburgh use this frame edifice as a house of worship On October 17th, 1910, this old build- ing passed away in a chariot of fire, and left on the sons and grandchil- dren of builders the task and responsi- bility of rebuilding a house in which to worship the God of their. fathers. Bome few years before, it was feit by some that the old building had serv- ed its day and that steps ought to be taken to replace it with a more modern structure. At a special meet- i of the congregation on June oth, 1910, two resolutions. were duly moved and seconded and carried un- animously that steps be taken to a new church, and that a sub- tion list be started to collect for the erection of the new . This subscription list was circulated during that year's months of June and July, among the member- ship of the church, the heads of near ly all the families sabscribing liberal ly, but it was a general feeling among these that the work of rebuilding * shoul for a few years uestion of the union of the churches should be fully determined. This proposed delay was ended by the burning of the church, On ber 20th, a joint meeting of the elders, managers and trustees, in the pme of John M. Kenaedy, de: cided to call a special meeting of the gutflegation to arrange for the re- ng of a house of worship. This meeting was held in the residence of RW. ee on the evening of Octo- ber, 24th, 1910. A building committees was appointed and instructed to have bosmalod under the supervision of a competent architect on the same site as was the old building a new edifice. This building committee employed B. Dillon, F.R.A1C., of Brockville, as their architect, and in a conference with him on November 16th, instruect- ed him to. prepare plans for the eree- tion of a neat, substantial building, capable of seating two hundred peo- le, with a basement, tower, and liry, to" be seated with circular pews. On November 20th, the archi tect submitted to the committee a pencil sketch "of the proposed new building. This plan the commitiee a. wuggesting at the same time that there be rear entrances into the auditorium and basement. On the same evening, the congregation held a special meeting in the home of Henry Johnston, to which the build- ing committee made a verbal report. Al resolution was adopted, approving of the committee's work. To another special congregational meeting on January 10th, in Henry Johnston's home there were exhibited the blue prints showing the elevation and there were read the specifications of the proposed new building. After some dis- cussion the congregation endorsed the work of the committee. Tenders were duly advertised for, and that of James Gough for $1,072 was accepted at a meeting of the congregation held on the evening of February 20th, 1,1 The work of rebuilding was inaugur- ated by a meeting of the congrega- tion at the church site on April 13th, 1911, at which the first soil for the excavation was turned up. Within a days the excavation was com- pleted hy the members of the chureh, and on May 4th was begun the work of rebuilding by the contractor. On July 7th was laid the cother- stone. About the middle of January the building was ready for the in- stalling of the pews, which work was ially done on February 9th and Oth, and was completed on February 13th.

Minister Denies in Parliament That New Government is Opposed to Immigration From There. Ottawa, Feb. 20. --immigration Canada from the United States was discussed in the Canadian commons to-day, the feature being an emphatic denial of a report that Americans are not wanted. The subject was brought up by J. G. Turiff, liberal, of Assini- boia "It is generally reported through the American press," Mr. Turrifi said, "that the present government is op- posed to American immigrants coming to Canada, and that report has been circulated in a manner to de a great deal of harm to Canadian interests." Speaker Sproule ruled that Mr. Tur eill was out of order in discussing such a question, "I am entitled to ask il the govern ment is opposed to immigration com ing in from the United States," per sisted the member. Robert Rogers, minister of the inter tor, in reply said: "This is a very im portant question, and lest it be mis- understood, 1 hope I will be allowed to answer it. | may say, in the first place, that 1 regret to learn that Am- erican newspapers have given. expres- sion to the statement that the govern ment is opposed to American immi- grants, "We want niG to to get as many settlers from the United States as we can, be- lieving, as we do, that we will get a class of immigrants from there will make highly desirable settlers, they have a knowledge prevailing here that course in | who as of conditions We will continue in the hope that we may bring about a very large immigration from the United States, feeling, as we do, that these immigrants will better their condition in this country, as have those who have already come to us."
