Dedication at Rome, N. Y.

By Dudley Marvin Canright; B. L. Whitney

We now have our meeting-house at Rome nearly done, so that we shall be ready to dedicate it Dec. 9 and 10, instead of Dec. 2 and 3, as stated last week. We hope to make this an occasion of great interest, not only to the friends in Rome, but to all those of our people who may attend from the surrounding churches. As many of our people in all parts of the State have taken an interest in this enterprise, we now invite them to meet with us on this occasion. We have numerous friends in Rome who will gladly entertain over Sabbath and Sunday all who may come. Ample provision will be made for all. Let none stay away thinking that they will be a burden. We invite a general turnout of all the church from Adams Center, Mannsville, Oswego, Roosevelt, Vermillion, West Monroe, Kirkville, Brookfield, and Litchfield.

We also invite our S. D. Baptist friends from Verona and elsewhere to meet with us, especially on the Sabbath. We hope that Bro. C. M. Lewis will attend.

As it will be cold weather, let our people bring plenty of robes and quilts. We hope that a special effort will be made by all to come. Bring your children and unconverted friends.

Meetings will begin Friday evening at six o'clock, and Sabbath morning at nine. The dedication sermon will be on Sunday morning.

The State quarterly meeting of the T. and M. Society will be held at this meeting. There must be a special effort on the part of all the directors to attend. Here we shall plan our winter's work. We want to know just how the cause stands in all parts of the State, so we may know where to begin work. Let all who wish our help write to us immediately at Rome.

D. M. CANRIGHT, B. L. WHITNEY.
