Dedication of the Stanmore Church

After spending six or seven weeks in Melbourne and vicinity, and speaking twenty-two times (Letter 171, 1898), she journeyed back to Sydney, expecting that the new Stanmore church might be dedicated on April 17. It was not yet ready, so the appointment was postponed to Sunday, April 24.4BIO 344.5

The weather was good on the twenty-fourth. Writing of the new house of worship, she described it as “a very nice building, and there are no debts upon it.... It is a neat, wholesome, commodious building.”—Letter 172, 1898. She found it easy to speak in.4BIO 344.6
