During the past year (chiefly by the help of the bishop, the Woman’s Auxiliary and generous friends of other Dioceses) a new Church fifty by twenty-four feet, has been put under roof, and all the debt paid except $60, and so soon as this is paid a floor will be laid, window sashes procured and services at once begun in this new house of God.
