Clear of Debt.

On Sunday last, the Trustees Of Smyr
ma M. Il. Church, announced to the con
gregation that the whole indebtedness
of the church, $50, 900, had been pledged
and would be paid within the next ten
days. The Mite Society, which has on
former occasions shown pluck and read
mess for large undertakings, nobly step
ped forward in a pledge for $1,000.
The young ladies in the choir also gen
erously took 800 subscription. When
this amount of money was asked for
three weeks ago, the general expression,
especially by those outside the church,
was such sum of money at this season
of the year could not be raised, and since
it has been done in considerably less
time than was asked, the surprise has
been the greater. To the several Trus-
tees and especially to John H. Hofecker
and to the Rev. Y. H. Haynes, who have
shown such superior financial ability,
the credit belongs for getting the speedy
cooperation of the Society in this large
