New Church to Be Dedicated Subday A.M., January 29   (Jan 25, 1933/Jan 28, 1998

  New Church Plant Is An Investment of $16,500.00
  The new $16,500.00 Baptist Church at Newton, is a credit to that city as well 
as a source of pride to all Dale countians. The beautiful three story structure 
is built upon the old church lot, on Main Street.
  The architecture is semi-classic. The building has 22 Sunday School rooms, 
three assembly rooms, for Sunday School departments capable of comfortably 
caring for over 200 people.
  The church auditorium seats 250 and a balcony provides seating space for an 
additional 75.
  Other compartments of the building are:
Pastor's Study, Kitchen, Pantry, Storage room, six closets, three toilets, two 
dressing rooms, drinking founts on each floor, and a large social room.
The building is heated and cooled with the latest patented Webster system.
The Board of Deacons, composed of  Messrs. A. L. Jones, Chm., T. A. Morton, R. 
A. Jones, and W. S. Balkcom, acted as the building committee and they have 
performed their duties in a most commendable manner. Mr. Roy A. Jones is 
financial agent for the church. In this connection it is learned that Mr. 
Clarence Beckham, who was killed August 19th in a tragic manner near Newton, 
was a deacon and a  member of the church building committee.
  The new church is built of Stepheson Oriental range color face brick and is a 
most imposing structure.
