he will continue to peach at the church. Rev. Bradshaw has been most successful! in his direction of his church's

affairs since his advent in Indiana Har

bor. When he first began his connec

tion with the church the congregation

was holding services in Union hall, but

he changed the place of meeting to CUne's hall on account of the former belns over a saloon. He set to work at

once to arrange for the building of a church and ground was broken for the

nrw enince in January, me nunu-

irig being dedicated in December of the.

same year. The church cost $10,000 and

is a structure most attractive in its style of architecture and exceedingly

comfortable for the purposes for which

it is designed.

During Rev. Brsdshaw's pastorate the membership of his church has almost doubled. An important feature in

accomplishing this lias been the February evangelical meetings which have come to be regarded as a regulation

thing in Indiana Harbor.

The church will be left on a splendid

basis and Rev. Bradshaw feels that he could not leave at a time when he

could be more easily spared.
