! Mr.. Editor-Sir: l see statement II

orders to have the First Christian Evan
| gclical Free Church furnished at ms
| expense That is not true. Mr.. KisleN
| has never made any such proposltloh
| He has informed the trustees that ht
would give the church 500 II they
would furnish the church up and thu
trustees have accepted his offer. One
| half Of the building is to be used tor I
school room. the other half for church
| The church will cost $400. and we have
received about S13o. and Mr.. Risley'.
Gift of 500 will make S23O. The bal
ance is on the trustees shoulders. Mis-
leading statements tend to discourage
contributors We still need money t
pay up and get seats. and every dollal
received will make one less on the debt
| and will be duly acknowledged.
