Raising the New Meeting-House
The raising of our new meeting-house was successfully accomplished without accident of any kind, on Wednesday, Sept. 26. An interesting feature of the occasion, was the plain dinner which the sisters prepared on the ground for the eighty-five men engaged in the raising, to which no one at the dinner hour seemed at all to object. This is the third house which the increasing work of present truth has rendered it necessary to build here. Its dimensions are 40 by 66 feet, 23 feet high inside. By means of the gallery over the entry, it is estimated that it will seat on special occasions one thousand persons. This is large enough for present use; but if at any future time it should be necessary even to make an addition to this house, no lover of the truth, certainly, will be found to object.
