Church Meeting in tent

Notes: Birmingham:—The congregation of Third Church have erected a tent on the corner of Avenue G and 22nd street in which to worship until they have built them a permanent house of worship. A good floor has been put in the tent, and four hundred and forty-seven chairs. Bro. Bryan reported at the ministers, meeting Monday, May 27th an attendance of 380 at the services the night before. Three young people were received into the Church on profession of faith the same day. On the afternoon of the Saturdav preceding sixty-five children attended the meeting of the Society of Busy Bees. This soclery is composed of children, some of whom have no church home, or occassionally attend other churches. But they are all learning the catechism, the Child’s and the Westminister Shorter. Sabbath, May 26, closed the twelfth year of Bro. Bryan’s Pastorate of the church. He says it was one of the best days connected with its history. The congregation is gathering a building fund, and hope in the near future to begin work on a substantial church building.
