Editor Register Il wish to say, for the
benefit of those who subscribed so liber-
ally towards the purchase of the house
bought for parsonage, that in saying,
as | did, that the house would have to
be repaired, we did not mean immediate
repair, but in the future; and | guaran-
tee that none of the donors will be asked
for funds to repair the house for long
time yet, if ever. The present minister,
Mr.. Mayhem, has the promise of some
outside help to do the little repairing
now wanted at the house. | say this so
that no one can say to the committee,
1.-The promise to us was that there should
be nothing said about repairs; all we
were asked to do was to give the money
for the purchase of the place.
