is94, for two Sabbaths per month
for some three months, since which
time he has given il al his time.
The congregation has been wiGhous
pastor two and half years Of the
time since its organization
April eth, ls90, the first step was
taken toward building a house.
About $1,000 was raised and at Ones
expended in building, but the h0use
was never completed farther than 70
make il barely usable. The high
winds soon made IL unsafe for us
and in the spring Of ls94 IL was torn
completely down and the preseui
building erected in its stead.
Seventy-six persons in all have
been receivdd into membership,
twenty-nine OF these have been Dis
missed by letter or otherwise, le1E-
ing forty-seven members az tha
time. So far as is known not ons
who has ever had membership in ihs
congregation has died. No chureh
board has ever paid a dollar toward
paying n pastor OF building expenses-
Some friends, members Of Guthrie
Presbytery, made s. contributions .
the amount Of about SiOO. The men
bers and friends in ArdmOre have
contributed the balance. The ehurrs
owes nothing on building, pastor
salary OF furniture, except a smaA
amount on organ and seats. he
house compares favorably with any
i'm the city. The seats are hrsi'
class. The work is in fairly pros
porous condition.
