It's not Jericho in the year 1400 BCE, but the walls came tumbling down Monday at the site of the former First Baptist Church of Ada, in the 100 block of East Highland Avenue, where many a sermon was preached and weddings and funerals were held.
The property has been owned by Midwest Rehab Inc. for several years. The brick portion to the north will be saved. The stained glass windows were taken out by the wrecking ball. Several years ago, the church moved to West North Street (State Route 81) where there was more space for worship and activities, land and parking.
Ohio Northern University celebrated homecoming last weekend. Here are three of our favorite homecoming parade photos. We hope you enjoy them also.

Compton taught at the university from 1967 to 2002. Since retirement from ONU, he has served as pastor of Rhinehart United Methodist Church near Mt. Victory. His four-door Caddy was custom made for Nelson Rockefeller.
Everyone loves a parade, even Snickerdoodle, a 3-year-old labradoodle, owned by Harold and Susan Putt.
