BAPTIST CHURCH
Plans for Canberra.
APPEAL FOR £10,000. .
A campaign for securing a mimi-
mum of £10,000 has been opened by
the Rev. Dr. A. J. baldock to estab-
lish the Baptist Church in Canberra,
and it is proposed to have the founda-
tion stone ceremony on the site at
Eastlake in August next.
Plans for the baptist Church em-
brace four buildings on the semi-cir-
cular site secured by the church at
eastlake. A church, school hall, col-
lege and manse are planned to occupy,
portions of the lease which is to be
laid out in gardens. The area avail-
able comprises 4½ acres, and the im-
mediate programme is to proceed with
the school hall and manse. The site
is near the Eastlake shopping centre
and faces Waratah Parkway, directly
opposite the Telopea Park school.
A feature of the appeal which has
been launched by Dr. Baldock is a
"Book of Remembrance," to be com-
piled in which will be inscribed the
name of every donor of £1 or more.
The book will be kept in the church
at Canberra as a permanent record of
its founders.
