Forest Hill Goes Forward. \
AA’ork, suspended some time ago on
the big annex of the Forest Hill Aleth
odist Church, will be resumed at once
and -tUo enterprise rushed to comple
tion. This was the enthusiastic de
cision of the church at the regular
preaching service yesterday morning.
The pastor spoke very briefly and
turned the meeting over to the con
gregation. There were not set speech
es, but a large number spoke with* un
usual feeling and pledged themselves
to pay the outstanding subscriptions
on the building fund and continue the
work till it is (lone.
When the last touch has been put
upon this building it will be one of
the largest and best arranged church
es in • this section of the state. Not
only the membership of this historic
church, but its'friends everywhere, are
responding in a magnificent manner to
the call of oi>portunity to have a part
in the building. *
A very surprising and most inter
esting feature v of the day was the dis
play of potted' plants and cut flowers
Horn the florist. AA'lien the congre
gation assembled for service they
were greeted by a scene that sent „a
tliiill of pleasure to evbry heart. The
chancel, pulpit and piano, in fact the
entire front of the old auditorium,
had adorned as a bride for her
husband. Ferns, other evergreens
and lliree large vases of carnations,
the latter the gift of Air. AA T . li. Odell,
chairman of the board of stewards,
had been tastefully arranged to pre
sent a most pleasing effect.
All in all it \"is one of those days
that will Stand out in the memory otf
everyone present.

were the best we could get. You see,
