Congregation and historical committee members of Calvary United Church in Dashwood gathered Sunday to celebrate the placing of an historical box in a cornerstone of the church. Jacob Weber, right, was present for the church's cornerstone celebration. One hundred years ago, Weber's great great grandfather helped to place the original box in the church cor- nerstone. Items put in box for church cornerstone DASHWOOD - "This is to be given to the youngest Hoffman that is in the Dashwood area when this box is opened again," reads an en- velope containing a small sum of money along with a 1995 stamp. Keepsakes such as these were added Sunday to a small tin box at Calvary United Church along with photographs, bibles, a catechism, church bulletins and history, an an- nual report, a list of members and newspaper articles describing the opening of the original box on June 18. The first opening revealed his- torical publications, some of which were 100 years old. The artifacts are being kept at Ralph Weber's home until they can be properly preserved and stored in a church cabinet. Some of those items were placed in the second box, which represents the church's centennial anniversary service on Oct. 15. "It means that we have a history and an opportunity to continue the life and work of the church with the same.faithfulness and commitment that the people in the past have demonstrated," said Rev. Isagani Lazaro. Back i.n. Time...
