Norwood, July 28th, 1875.

Editor Patriot: -- The new Church house in Ottercreek Township, belonging to
the United Brethern in Christ, was dedicated to the worship of Almighty God,
Sabbath; the 28th day of July, 1875, by Bishop J.J. Glosbrenner, of Virginia
The day was pleasant. Though the house is large and commodious for a
country house, it was said that one third of the people could not get seats.
Its size is 32x48, with a sixteen foot ceiling, and neatly furnished
throughout. The cost was eighteen hundred dollars. It is said that this
occasion drew the largest congregation that ever met together in the
township. Enough money was raised and guaranteed to liquidate all the
indebtedness, thus the house is free to God and His cause.

-- Rev. Wm. Jacobs.
