1 The First Baptist Church of Enter
pr.'ro was dedicated, Sunday, In the
! t.cnce of two large audiences that
filled the beaut'ftil -calm church room
and otrflowed into the Sunday
scl'.ool .rooms at the sides.
A; ths nnrr.lm eeivlce Rev. W, T.
Jordan, formerly of Denver. Col.,

of the building committee, which
showed a total expenditure of $7701..

was subscribed at the services, Sun
day and It Is expected! the fullj amount
will be taken care of soon.
At the evening services, Rev. Fred
C W. Parker preached a powerful
and eloquent dedicatory sermon, and
again the beautiful music was a fea
ture. Ruth Chenoweth sang a solo,
"Gentle Jesus," and the choir sever
al fine hymns. Rev. W. H. Gibson
gave the dedicatory prayer which was
followed by song, "The Inner Circle."
The record of the building of this

Baptist people have a right to be
croud. The church membership Is on
ly 40 effectives, yet tills small group .
in tthe face of great obstacles! and dur
ing hard close times succeeded In a
wonderful manner, by unceasing work
and self sacrifice. Praise is due Rev.

an l the devoted men and women who
uphold his arms. The complete report
of the building committee will appear
In our' next issue.

dismissed both their morning and ev
ening services that their . mem
bers could attend the dedication.

and wisdom, Tjhere was a large attend
atice. the net receipts amounting to
