Hundreds Will Be Present at Dedication  Services Sunday
  An appropriate program has been arranged for the dedication of the handsome 
new Baptist Church at Newton Sunday morning, at the 11 o'clock service.
  The pastor, Rev. J. W. Avery, will preach the dedication sermon following the 
program that has been arranged for the service.
  A special part on the program is arranged in honor and memory of Miss Mittie 
Haley. Her life and her relations to the church will be reviewed by a former 
pastor, Rev. R. W. Lett. Miss Haley made a major contribution to the Newton 
Baptist Church in her will and made possible the construction of this beautiful 
church.                      .
  The service is expected to attract hundreds of people of this and, other 
denominations who will gather to give thanksgiving to the Lord and to dedicate 
to His Kingdom, this house of worship.
  Special music program has also been arranged.
  In the afternoon at 5 o'clock, other services will be conducted. The day will 
be given entirely to the dedication of the church and the pastor and his 
committee have been untiring in their efforts to make the day one never to be 
forgotten in the spiritual life of this little city.
  Rev. J. W. Avery, the universally beloved and very capable pastor has been an 
untiring worker and deserves a liberal share of the credit for the beautiful 
new church that will be formally dedicated Sunday.
