An Appeal.

To the Generous Public the following
Appeal is made:-The Bethel A. NJ. E.
church and parsonage, Of West Vermont
street, Indianapolis, has had a standing
debt since 1871 of $4,000 at least, at ten
per cent. interest; to pay this enormous
interest has cost the church 81 500 at least,
which has caused the debt to become
chronic. To remove this debt we want to
borrow $1,000 at six or seven per cent. for
three years, in three installments. Also,
we want a liberal donation from all to
assist us. Our members and congregation
have given $500 in cash and subscription
this winter. We appeal to you to help US
clear our church of debt. Rev. w. c..
Trevan, our pastor, is our general agent,
PA West Vermont street, indianapolis.
He will appoint sub agents.
