The men of the community have I made a noble effort to have for themselves and their families a I ilace in which they might worship. About two years ago these men determined to have, for the first time, a church in this community. Enough =| framing and sheeting was secured to i box in the building. Through sub- u scription, enough money was raised 1-31 to put a roof on the structure. Throughout the summer. Rev. Mr. ? Murray came twice a month and preached to these Christian people _ tvhile they carried on for themselves ? Sunday school and Sunday nighl c prayer services. In November of j, 1939, these men put forth the second = great effort to continue the building of a place of worship. This time r they weather-boarded, ceiled and a put flooring in the church. This I made the structure comfortable even t in the severe winter weather. ~ Throughout the months interest has grown until the people feel they would like to have a completed church in which to worship. Last ^ week enough ceiling was purchased to partly ceil the ends and sides of % the building and they intend to pur- t chase the rest as soon as funds per- i mit. p The people of Baird's Creek are = to be commended on the fine way in which they have worked toward 11 one common goal?to make more a Christian their homes and commu- 0 lity. t FOR SALE *n b 7-jewel yellow gold Elgin watch. j.
