Of course everybody knows what an en-
chilada is. Well, the invited and the in

foundry" seated themselves, made the
order according to Spanish au tait / sup

The enchilada was duly heralded by the

The writer did not attend the meeting
to which the following pertains, but on in
terviewing the Rev. Mr.. Furneaux last
Monday learned that on Sunday evening
MIR. Furneaux stated to the dearly be-
loved brethren of Clifton that he had ar
rived at the last Sabbath of the first year
in this region. He SAID that a letter from
MIR. John Sherman to the clerk of the Rio
Grande presbytery was the chief cause Of
his being appointed to Clifton and vieini-
ty. That letter encouraged the presby-
terry to send a man hero aud stated that a
mission would soon become sslf-supporting.
The agent of the Copper company told
him that the company would give $500
per annum towards his support if he
would make Clifton his headquarters and
$3.50 if he located in another part of the
mission, and that the people of the lace
would give moral and financial aid,
lie received $3.50 from she company and
the Sabbath collections amounted to about
800, tho latter sun barely covering hoteI
and Incidental expenses. On his first triE
he was out OF pocket $50 and made sey.
eral trips over the road before he obtained
a pass. Now that is the sum total of tbs
financial aid for the past year.
Although the company has given th,
largest donation and WAS the prime move
ia obtaining a missionary for this region
he wishes it to be distinctly understood
that be IL not the Altoona copper com
pany's chaplain. H. is mainly sustained
BY the Presby terrain board OF home mis-
sioos. which gave H grant OF 800 towards
his support for Clifton and vicinity, anc
without that generous aid the missioner,
would not have been able to live and la
Dor in this %viclnity during the past year.
Now, what has been accomplished
Our church and four sabbath schools hav
been organized, Il lot for the church ha
been donated by the company's agent
and Hp to date the sum of $780, nest egg
has been subscribed towards the build
ing fund, and 500 promised as soon a
the foundation stone is laid. AS soon a
the deed is IN the hands OF the trustees aI
p%lieation will be made to the board c
