We present this week a picture of the new Methodist Episcopal church as it will look when completed.
As everyone knows, it is to be located at the junction of Washington and Walpole Streets, one of the most central and desirable locations in town.
It promises to be a very handsome and ornamental edifice. The pastor, Rev. H. C. Wright, and his people have done some very energetic work in raising funds for this new house of worship.
