An Apostolic Mission.

Rev. John w. Daughertys Apostolic
church is rapidly being built. and when
the structure is completed. while it may
not be an imposing building, it will be a
massive one. II is estimated that the
seating capacity will be about Loo per-
sons. The new church is increasing in
membership, and many persons from
Manchester and other sections around
Richmond attend the services, which are
being held In a tent until the new build
ing is ready for occupancy.
The Apostolic church differs from those
Of other denominations In one particular
at least. No collections are taken up,
and the preacher receives no salary.
Boxes are placed near the entrances OF
the tent, and those who choose can
put in whatever amount they like, but
no member of the congregation is asked
to contribute to the pastors support, or
assessed at any amount
