Large church opens with festive procession and liberal gifts
A yearlong effort to expand the building culminated in a grand opening led by Rev. Bertram and Rev. Harrison. Subscriptions topped 1,000 pounds, with 407 pounds raised in a closing collection. The ceremony featured the Mayor and Chairman of the town council, a music hall collation, and speeches by Dr. Stoughton and others.
