NEW CHURCH BUILDING.

LEVIN METHODIST EFFOET. Excellent progress is now being made in the erection of the new Levin .Methodist Church building which stands upon the corner of Cambridge and Kent Streets, ami with the construction work upon the reinforced concrete walls complete, the roof principles in position and the square lower (Mitering upon its (in a I stages, some conception ol (he, imposing appearance of the lompleted structure may be gained. In tin' course of the -list anniversary celebrations of the church in Levin at (lie Century Hall last evening, the secretary to tile Trust, Mr B. \V. Goldsmith, gave an outline of the position of that body regarding' tae (inancing ol: the venture. To date, said Mr Goldsmith, some £llO4 had been spent on the scheme, of which sum the building | contractors had received £1959, the remainder going in general expenses. Cash in hand totalled £2OO, and thus (he total amount received up to the present had been about £1.400. Since the ceremony of laying the foundation stone on June Jrd last, further donations ami promises amounting to about £OS had been received, and thus, as the contract price of the new structure was £2190, there was every reason to believe that its completion would see no very great debt to be carried by the church-people.
