 We would do injustice to our feelings to clese this report without special reference to Rev. Aaron Hill, whose liberal donation of $500 made 1t possible fer us to secure the amount necessary to liquidate the debt May heavens choicest blessings res4 upon his hoary head in his declining years. We also make special mention of aH untiring interest manifested by all who specially aided us. GEORGE BoLAR, President. s. B. CANTON, Secretary. A. R. SHoCKLY, Pastor.
