THE PRESENT CONDITION,
The church is in lourishing condition, with

is beginning to get too small, and they intend to
finish the church as soon as possible, or rather

and we are informed that rs per cent of them
are professors of-religion and members of the
church. Their church is open to all denomina-

wish to build up their own church, yet, their
chief object is to build up Christs kingdom.
We wish them the utmost success in their
noble undertaking.
