The repairs and improvements on
the Methodist church are nearly com.
pleted, giving newness and freshness to
the church that is very pleasant Besides
the thorough repairs on the outside, the
appearance of the interior has been greatly
changed. The walls have been kalsomined
in various colors and trimmed with colored
fresco border. The pews and other
wool work has been finished in imitation
OF black walnut, so as to harmonic with
the modern style. The windows have
been finished in imitation of stained glass
so that they now give a soft, mellow and
agreeable light, instead of sharp and
binding light as heretofore. The expense
does not exceed S400, though the repairs
are SO extensive. The whole amount is
provided for so that no debt will rest on
the society. We think the society has
done nobly considering its present weak,
ened condition. Brother Webster has
been untiriug in his efforts to raise funds
for the outside and to bring the whole
work to completion. 1t is due to Mrs.
10 say that she raised the funds
for the interior work by her personal
effort, and in various ways assisted by her
labor TO bring the work to a successful
close. The society owe her and her
husband debt of gratitude for the deep
interest they have taken in promoting the
welfare and success of the society.
