HAGERSTOWN, — The accompanying photograph shows the Seventh-day Adventist church recently dedicated at this place. For fourteen years the work has dragged in Hagerstown, the believers having no suitable place of worship. To-day we feel thankful for what our eyes see as an answer to prayer. The workers felt that it would be an honor to God and a step forward if we could have a church building. In counsel with other conference workers it was decided to move forward by faith. God worked on the hearts of his children. The church took hold in earnest, and many a sacrifice was offered the Lord for the sake of hastening his tabernacle to completion. Those not of our faith seem as anxious as the church-members to see the building finished, and gave many hours' work, for which we feel very thankful. The building and ground, together with the furniture, is valued at $4,300. We hope to see the property entirely free from debt before the close of this year. We cannot but praise God, from whom all blessings flow. HUGH L. PEDEN.
