CHURCH DEDICATED SUNDAY

Citizens of Parr Enjoy Addresses and Basket Dinner. The new Baptist church at Parr \was dedicated Sunday, the dedicatory services starting Saturday evening with an address by. Rev. Dame of Monon, and continuing throughout Sunday, when a basket dinner was enjoyed by the large congregation. On Sunday morning Rev. Densmore of Indianapolis delivered the dedicatory address, a large congregation being present and making it one of the most impressive church ceremonies ever held in the community. Rev. Densmore also spoke again in the afternoon, and Rev. LeMaster of Chalmers spoke in the evening. The new church is modern in every respect, heated by furnace, and has a large Sunday school room adjoining the main auditorium. Rev. F. 18. Beard of this city holds services there each alternate Sunday, and it is is the hope of the congregation to soon have services each week.
