REDCLIFFS ATTEMPTS TO BUILD CHURCH IN SINGLE DAY
AMBITIOUS SCHEME IS ALMOST REALISED. Yesterday, King’s Birthday, the enthusiastic members of the Redcliffs Methodist Church organised an effort to build their new church in Augusta Street in one day. With the foundations laid as the result of working bees on two previous days and with the joinery work completed, the timber cut and the plumbing read-” to fix, work was commenced by volunteers from Richmond, St Albans and Woolston. Mr S. Clothier was in charge. The ambitious scheme included the building of a structure 42 feet by 22 feet, with a porch and vestry in the front and a kitchen at the back. Although it was hoped to finish and instal the electric lighting this was not done but the workers were successful in putting up the whole of the framework and in weather-boarding the walls up to the eaves. The iron for the roofing and the material for the windows together with the flooring and other necessary material are all on the ground and the church should be completed at an early date.
