Splendid Church to Be Erected.
On Sunday afternoon, SU-njbr
20, a service was held for laying tin
corner stone of the new MethodUt
Church at Mount Olivet. At 3 uVKek
a large eongregation assembled in the
present church building. The iastor.
Rev. W. T. Albright, had eharge of
the service which was begun by sing
ing "I Love Thy Kingdom, Lord."
The beautiful form of laying the cor
ner stone, as given in the Discipline,
was used.
After hymn No. C57 had been suu .
a very appropriate and interesting
address was delivered by Uev. iiaroni
Turner, of Central Church, Concord.
Brother Albright then read a short
historical bketch of Mt. Olivet, which
was originally called Rogers' Church.
This church was organized over a
hundred vears ago by an itinerant
preacherthe Rev. Mr. Wyric, who
was followed by the Rev. David
Kiriek. For a number of years, dur
ing the war, the church had no
preaching. However, in lbbo, me
ehurch rallied, and its name' was
changed to Mt. Olivet, under the pas
torate of Kev. J. I . KUgo, me lamer
tiieiuin John C Kikro. The
yixii " v ' '
new buildintr, when completed, win
be the fourth ehurch erected on or
near t lie present site.
After singing hymn No. boJ, tne
congregation reassembled jusi i;i
front of the old building ior me con
clusion of the service, lhe corner
stone was laid in its proper place by
Messrs. John A. Scott, ot Mt. unvei,
D. B. Coltrane, of Central Church,
Concord, and W. R. Odell, of Forest
Hill Church, Concord. Into it were
placedthe following articles, viz.: A
copy 6 f the Bible, the Discipline,
Nashville Christian,. Advocate .Con-
cord Tribune, and a list ot me names
of the present church members and
officers, the building committee, a
brief historical sketch ot me cnurcn,
and a complete list of its pastors as
far as these could be obtained.
After si mrimr the Doxology, tne ser
vice was brought to a close with the
pronouncing ot the benemeuon
