The temple rebuilt after three fires stands ready for dedication ceremonies beginning tomorrow drawing visitors from far and near to honor a church with over fifty years of noble deeds in nomine Christi.
One thousand Baptists attended the Tremont Temple Baptist Church inaugural service last evening in Lorimer Hall. The newly opened temple seated 1000 in opera chairs, with admission by ticket for church members only. The chief feature was the observance of the Lord's Supper.
Reverend George C. Lorimer, assisted by Horace F. Barnes, A Tierlund, and Frank B. Cressey, led a temple dedication urging Psalm 134. He highlighted platform furniture gifts including a Bible from Charles D. Frost, Oxford Church chair, olive wood supper service from Gethsemane, and a supper table donated by Mrs. Sarah Byrne of Charlestown. The costly event reflects Mrs. Byrne’s earnings as a washerwoman.
