The New Methodist Episcopal Cluireli at Reynoldsville.
In the phurch, thorn was a debt of al
most $21,000 to be provided for on Sun
day, and $18,000 of that amount had to
be ptedgod before the church coidd bo
dedicated. With that large sum to
raise and a miners' strike just declared
it seemed to many that the church
would not be dodlcated Sunday, but by
the assistance of the official members
Mr. Powell's excellent plan was woll

executed, and the $20,")00 w.v pledged
before nine o'clock Sunday evening.
After a half hour of Informal greet
ing the publio service began at 9.30 a.
m. ' At 10.00 Bishop Joseph F. Berry,
LL; D., of Buffalo, preached an able
and eloquent sermon. It was plain,
practical and full of beautiful thought.
After the Bishop's sermon Mr. Powell
presented bis plan for raising money.
Ho Issued three year, $.'16.00 bonds, giv
ing the privilege of making weekly or
monthly payments on the bonds. Al
though the Individual members of the
nblireH PAQnnnilflfl (rranriln nnrl (ha
societies of the church, Helping Hand,
Epworth League, Junior Loague, Mis
sionary Society, subscribed liberally,
and friends of the church helped, yet
. the amount was not raised at the morn
ing service. At 2.45 p. m. Sunday
school was held and the classes assumed
about $2,000 of the indebtedness.. At
6.00 p. m. an Epworth League meeting
was held. At 7.00 p. m. the public ser
vice began and after the opening exer
cises Mr. Powell gave forty minute ad
dress explaining thejBrotherhood of
St. Paul. After the address the large-
congregation rwas again asked to
help provide- for the debt.- After
about three-quarters of an hour
of effective work- by Mr. Powell
and his assistants, Mr. Powell an
nounced that the amount had been
pledged. Ho also made the pleasing
statement that Mr,. Andrew Carnegie
( would pay can on a jz.auu pipe organ
for the church and that a Reynoldsville
gentleman, whose name he did not
Lention, would pay the other $1,250 on
the organ. The congregation then
joined heartily In singing'tbe doxology.
They sang it over twice. Bishop Berry
will havo to bo active to bo able to moot
the pledgoB given. Tho Helping Hand
had subscribed $2,000 to tho church bo
fore dedication day and then subscribed
$.',000 more that day, making a. total of
$5,000 for tho Helping Hand.
While the trustees and Pastor Parsons
are entitled to great credit for the im
posing edifice that has been erected,
yet unto Rev. Perry A. Rono, deceased,
is duo greator credit, and tho church is
a monument to him, for it was Mr,
Rono, who by persistont efforts, per
suaded the board of trustees to build a
now church. With tho exception ol
perhaps $2,000, Rev. Reno personally
solicited and secured all the subscrip
tions to the church fund that was made
before dedication day, and for that
reason we say the church is a monu
ment to tho ambition and actlvoness of
Rev. Reno. A beautiful tablet will bo
put in the auditorium of tho church In
memory of Mr. Reno, tho noble and
zealous christian minister who has gone
to his roward.
The now church Is not only a credit
to Methodism, but it Is a credit to our
town and enhances the proper y oT town.
Tho church is 87 x 126 feet. Exterior
is Hummelstown brownston-. Thoro
are two towers on building, a.- cut will

auditorium from Fifth street and one
from Jackson street. Two vestibulos,
with tile floors. The auditorium Is
beautiful. The walls apd colling are
nicely decorated, the windows are mag
nificent, as fine as will be found in many
of the large city churches. The win
dows represent scenes ki life of Christ
and were presontod by following per
sons : "Boy Christ," gift from -Mrs.
Julia A. Reynolds ; "Chr'st and Rich
Young Ruler," in memory of Mrs. Ma
llnda Melllnger, given by Mr. and Mrs.
Ira S. Smith, Mr. L. O. Melllnger and
sisters ; "Ascension," in memory of Al
bert Reynolds, presented by his wife ;
"Jesus the Light of the World," in
chairs. Tho chandelier in Sunday
school room has 25 electric lights and
12 gas lights and there are also a num
ber of side lights. Tho entire Sundny
school room is carpeted with brussels
carpet.
Tho liulies' parlor is a cozy and plens
ant room. A largo rug on floor, fire
place and very pretty mantle. Tho
choir and organ are back of the
pulpit. Tho choir room Is off to right
of choir. It will bo furnished.
A number of the windows in the Sun
day school room and other parts of the
church were presented by Sunday school
clasaos and friends.
In the basement is a festal room,
kitchen, pantry, two toilet rooms and
boiler room.
McKane Harl, of Punxsutawney, was
the contractor, and Daniel Brewer,
of Reynoldsville, superintended the
work and tho Methodist people can con
gratulate themselves that such a
capable man as Mr. Brewer was secured
to superintend the work. It is a good
substantial building, not skimped at any
point, and a credit to Mr. Harl and Mr.
B rower.
