Central Church, st. Louis, Mo.-There
is great Joy in DR.. Branks congregation AS
we said little while ago, the past wear has
been one of spiritual prosperity among them
And now, added to their happiness in view of
what God has done for them, they are rejoicing
over what He has enabled them to do for them
selves. Last Sunday, in response to an earnest
appeal by the pastor, the sum of $4,000 was
subscribed towards paying off the debt which
has encountered the church and seriously crip-
pied its usefulness. It is confidently expected
that this amount will be materially increased
The remaining Indebtedness can be easily
carried, and hereafter the Central will be free
and able, as pastor and people are not only will
ling but anxious to do its full share for our
Synod's interests and in the general work Of the
church.-St. Louis Presbyterian.
