The Forest Prediyterian Church .—
The cougregatiun of the Forest Prcsby- .
tenon Church of Middletown, Del. have
completed the repairs of the Church, and
it was reopened at their regular commu
nion season, tho second Sabbath of Dee.
when six persons wove added to the mem
bership.
Tho walls and ceiling have been hand
somely painted, the pews grained, and
the Church recarpeted, giving it a neat
- and handsome appearance, at a cost of
about §!K)0.
The young men of the Church have had
. assigned thorn a tasteful room on the first
floor, where they hold their weekly prayer
meetings.
During the past year we understand tlugt
forty-two persons have boon added to the
number of members, und the Church ap
pears to be working with commendable
seal for the salvation of those around them.
We learn, also, that the congregation con
template building an addition to their par
sonage in the Spring, showing that they
not" unmindful of the comfort of their
pastor, who labors with them so earnestly.
When the proposed improvements arc
completed, with the addition of a tower
and bell, the congregation will certainly
have a beautiful and comfortable house ot
worship, an ornament to tho town, and a
monument to their liberality.

The Sabbath School of the Methodist

festival at the Church on Christmas night.
The audience room was handsomely det

tire audience were then invited into the
basement, where a bountiful table was
spread, aud loaded with cakes, comfit«,
aud other good cheer, and all partook with
a hearty good will, and an interchange of
those kindly sentiments and feelings which
the interesting occasion was so well calcu

that the Commissioners of the Middletowu
Hall Company are about taking active
steps toward erecting their nail during
the year. §7,500 have been subscribed,
and the most desirable lot ou Main street,
4>8 by 185 feet, has been purchased, and
they are about placing their specifications
the hands of an architect. Certainly
the Hall is much ueedod, and wo doubt
not the stock can be mauuged so judicious
ly as to pay a good per centage aud will
doubtless prove a safe and paying invest
ment.
Sliarcs of steck are issued at §10, and
we hope that every citlrou of the town,
and tho onterprising men of tho vicinity,
will be active in taking the stock at once,
so that our town may bout of a neat and
commodious building before the close of
the ensuing summer. Nothing can be
done to add more to the value of property
and to make tho town attractive than a
good Public null. We learn that the
plan proposed will give ps a handsome
building, an ornament to (lie town, and a
good investment to the enterprising men
of capital who may feel, disposed to aid in
its erection.
