1T is marvellous what it takes to make
a church. You can't make it out of any
one element. 1 shall speak about the
building. Man is dependent upon his
Environments and upon those about us.
We lean upon each other. Such is the
condition of our church extension So
ciety.
1--WE can not give unless we receive.
When ever a donation rs made TO a
church and the church is either burned
and insured (Which it must be- or sold
the society must receive the amount Of
donation back again. Large donations
have been made in the Southwest Kan
sas conference in the last few years.
The society has made donations TO the
amount of $500 and s7S.375 loaned,
which has greatly aided many churches
IN this part of the state. Two hundred
and fifty makes a new church possible.
''The society has aided nearly 10000
churches in the last twenty years.
Three thousand and eight hundred
Methodist congregations in this country
have no church to worship God in.
Shall we not give them a church,"
