Disciple Church Completed

    The new Disciples Church was completed during the first days of
this week. The denomination here has reason to be proud of their elegant
brick temple. The design is new and striking.  The church has two
entrances, one on either hand.  Its seating capacity, the largest in
town, is over 400.

    The windows are stained glass and very pretty.  There are two
memorial windows.  Both are pretty, but the memorial window to Mrs.
Cynthia Loftin Rountree is one of the handsomest we ever saw.  Its
cost was $500.  It represents Mary, the sister of Martha and Lazarns,
sitting at the feet of Jesus, who is stopping at their home.  Martha
complains that Mary is not helping her with their daily work, and
Jesus replies that "one thing is needful" and that Mary has chosen
that good part.  Below the figure of Christ and the woman is the
inscription to Mrs. Rountree - "She chose that good part."

    The other memorial window is in honor of Jas. W. Harper, Mrs.
Charlotte Harper and Mrs. Lula H. Mewborne.

    The dedication will not take place on the 4th Sunday, as was 
intended. The time for its dedication will be announced later.
