room at 81 o'clock P. M. This Church
held an interesting communion service
last Sunday, at which time thirty
persons aCere added to ii. There are
others in the congregation deeply inter
ested on the subject of their personal
duty to renounce the world, take up the
cross, follow Christ and unite with the
Church. So that additions may be ex~
pected at the next communion season.
h We have heard that this Church is
about to make an effort to raise fundsto
pay off their debt and make some i'm
provements in the building. The effort
is likely to be successful. We are sure
there is ability enough among the mem
bers of the congregation to do this if
they would so will it. 1t is shame il
they do not do it. Let them take the
plan our Methodist brethren do. Never
dedicate church to God unless they can
give him an unencumbered title TO it.
What kind of Offering to God is that
which the sheriff may at any time snatch
from Hin 2 We hope the brethren of
the First Church will do the right thing.
