A sermon-like reflection extols doing what one can in service and sacrifice. It links personal virtue to communal good, cites historical religious figures, and lauds local efforts to support a church project through voluntary labor and donations.
The Church Was Paid For From Stock Shares
The church cost about $15 000 to build complete and furnished with all funds already secured before opening on Sunday. A general collection yielded $165.35 and seating carpeting were funded by the Indies of the congregation. The stock company plan meant each subscriber owned stock and the church was paid for, with about $900 raised this summer from the congregation’s eating rooms.
