That the then predictions have been more than fully verified, more especially regarding three last words in the closing seutence of the article. "The Methodist Church, Port Perry, was regularly Dedicated to Divine Wor- ship on Sunday last. The day was all that. could be wished and the vast throng who assembled to witness: amd take part in. the grand and | all important ceremony showed a marked |" and wide spread appreciation of the noble and successful effort put forth by the lov- ers of Zion in securing at a cost of nearly thirteen thousand dollars, the erection of one of the most handsome and commod- ious places of worship to be found in the county, There were three services on Sunday; The sermons were eloquent, forcible and im- pressive, The music was charming and most appropriate. The appeals to the pockets of a gener- ous people" was not made in vain; the congregation evinced their practical piety in a most tangible manner by then and there contributing the sum of two thou- sand and six hundred dollars towards the building fund. "HE FEAST OF THE DEDICATION Here too the public took hold with a will and turned out over nine hundred strong to take part in the joyous services which consisted first of an excellent tea got up by the ladies of the congregation 'and to their activity and persevering 'efforts is due much of the success, not alone of these services, but of: raising funds for the building of Zion's walls. It is almost unnecessary to state that the Feast of the Dedication was a grand, enjoyable affair and realized over six hundred dollars. The previous subscriptions and dona- tions amounted to $6,300, so that the 'total amount secured towards the pay- ment of the edifice is $9,500, leaving only $3,000 to be provided for paying off the whole cost. The town is indebted to the the parties concerned for the very valuable and im- portant addition made to the town by the erection of so desirable a structure in our midst, but its financial value is nothing when compared to the good it is calculated to effect, morally,socially and religiously." eee) 0) Qe THE UNITED CHURCH Sunday.
