ADVANCEMENT

By C. C. V.

Just one month ago to-day the first work was done on the frame of the Seventh-day Adventist church in Liberty Center, Ohio, and to-day it is well enclosed, and has received one coat of plaster. The work will be hurried until finished, and in a few weeks more, no providence preventing, the church will be ready for dedication. Its rapid progress under the superintendence of Eld. Guilford, proves the old adage true, that where there is a will there is a way. This building has a stone foundation of solid mason work, and the whole structure is plain and neat. Eld. Canright, during his visit here in July, predicted that this house could and would be enclosed to catch the first snow-storm on its roof, which has verily come to pass.

A pleasing incident occurred the other day. A traveling insurance agent, who was passing by, asked one of the workmen what this building was, and was told that it was a Seventh-day Adventist church, whereupon the agent exclaimed, “What a sight of these churches there is being built all over the country!” We thought this acknowledgment quite indicative of the rapid and certain progress of Adventism.
