THE NEW HAMILTON SQUARE BAPTIST CHURCH

SATURDAY, JUNE 18, 1881
HAMILTON SQUARE BAPTIST CHURCH NEARING COMPLETION
The Hamilton Square Baptist Church will probably be ready for occupancy sometime in July. The new building is a handsome one, 56 feet front by 96 feet deep, and will have a tower and pinnacles.
The main auditorium will seat six hundred persons, and there are besides the Sunday School, classrooms and parlors. The bell purchased from the Good Will Fire Company of Trenton, will be placed in position in the belfry very soon, and will he heard for miles around calling worshippers to the House of Prayer. Since the tearing down of the old edifice, the Baptist congregation have held service alternatively in the Methodist and Presbyterian Churches at Hamilton Square.

HAMILTON SQUARE BAPTISTS BELL TOWER
The Baptist Church of Hamilton Square yesterday, purchased the bell of the Good Will Fire Company of Trenton. It will be removed to Hamilton Square and placed it the belfry of the new church building. The bell was one of the best fire bells in the city and might have been retained for the use of the Fire Department had the late Common Council made an appropriation to place it in a suitable tower.

FIRE BELL ARRIVES AT HAMILTON SQUARE BAPTIST CHURCH
The fine bell of the Good Will Fire Company, which was sold to the Hamilton Square Baptist Church some time since, was removed to that place on Saturday afternoon. On reaching the "Square" the "Goody boys," who accompanied it, gave it their last ring, and so loud was its tongue that the good, quiet-going folk hurried out to see their new acquisition. It will be hanged in the belfry today.
