ANNUAL CHUKCH MEETING

or Dwight Place Congregational
 Church - Gleanings From the Re-
 port - Prosperlty i'm Material and
 Spiritual Things.
 The annual church meeting of the Dwight Place Congregational church was held last evening. The reports from the various de- partments of church work were very encour- aging and showed high degree of prosper ity.
 The clerk of the church, MT. E. Fl. Bar mum, reported that both in Spiritual and
 material things the church was in very fourishing condition" and that ''in the unity of pastor and people for what ever seemed best for the growth and development Of the church and it's members, there were reasons for great gatitude to God; the Sab-
 bath congregations being larger than ever
 before. Ninety seven new members were received during the year, forty-six on pro fession of faith in Christ, tweuty-twe of the latter being from the Sunday schools. There were thirty-three removals, twenty three being dismissed by letter and ten called to the Heavenly Home-leaving a total membership of six hundred ffty-three, a net gain over the previous year of sixty four.
 The treasurer reported that the contribu- tions of the church for benevolent purposes amounted to about $2,000. The superintendent of the Sunday school. MT. Wm. s. Todd, also reported very sue- cessful year. The present membership is four hundred, being gain of forty over the year preceding. The receipts were six hun dred and eight dollars, expenses three hun dred and eighty eight dollars, leaving bal- ance of two hundred and twenty dollars. Special efforts had been made in the line of missionary and temperance work and with marked results.
 The superintendent believed that much of the success was due to the warm interest shown by the pastor and officers of the church and remarked on the fidelity of the teachers and all connected with the Sunday school.
 The Ladies' Benevolent society reported sn income of over $1 .000, . good proportion of which had been expended in sending boxes and barrels to home missionaries and in sus- taining various Christian enterprises in the mittee reported an average attendance of about 25O, with weekly meetings of absorb ing interest.
 The Y. F. S. 0. E. reported an active mem-
 bership of 115, prayer meetings averaging 150, the time of the meetings being 90 fully
 occupied that many who desired to partici- pate were unable to do so. The Fairbank mission circle has had remarkably prosperous year, their receipts being over $500.
 The "Golden Link" society composed of 40 young girls is an active organization which is accomplishing much good. Reports were also made by various com mittees representing the church in connec- tion with the different Christian organizations of the city.
 The meeting was one of great interest and encouragement for all present, many congrat- ulations being exchanged at the close in ref erence to the future of the church.

 Messrs. Thomas J. Adams and Frank Langdale, who respectively sing 'basso and tenor in the choir of Calvary Baptist church, were SO unfortunate as to lose their over- coats yesterday morning. Before the ser vice they doffed these articles of apparel and left them in the reception room under the main auditorium of the church. When they returned for them after the service they had disappeared, and the gentlemen were forced to walk home without them. It was about . year ago when two coats were taken in like manner from this church.
