Sunday observances mark Methodists celebrating six decades with special services and recitals. The ledger notes collection amounts, expenditures on litera ture, song books, quarterlies, and a treasurer balance, alongside Sunday School class enrollments and references to a 1885 dance warning impacting attendance.
The article outlines the Alpine church’s postwar rebuilding project funded by a $10,000 Annie Lackey legacy and a $6,000 loan, with $26,000 on hand. It details the building committee, plan origin by the Board of Church Extension, and the selection of W. J. Smith as architect who pushed for one-floor design and Old Mission styling. The narrative recalls the old bell, New Year’s midnight ringing, Watch Night memories, and the choir fund that began with Mrs. Burgess.
