church building on the corner of West Main and Seventh streets next Sunday. Services have been arranged at 10:30 a. m. and 3 p. m., with the idea that one of the services at least a . great many of the people of Richmond . could be present. This church bears the name of a one denomination, the Friends, but it has been built with the distinct idea from the very beginning that it was being erected for the whole community, especially those who have no other church home. Those guiding its program are aiming to make it a church of the people. They are confident that the people of Richmond are going to show their interest in this new undertaking on the west side by coming in large numbers to aid in the dedication. The finishing touches are now being put upon the building, and everthing .!11 be in readiness for the services TjM next Sunday. With this day the Meeting which was started seven years ago, and held Its services until 'last year in the College Chapel, opens a new chapter in its history. Everything about the church, including the building, the location, the spirit of the members and the program of work already outlined is of such a character as to make a strong appeal to the people of the west side.
