acknowledgements AS re-
suit of special investment of five cent
pieces by the members of the Sunday
school, the treasury has been increased
$21.47. The report was made on Satur-
day night when the teachers aud officers
met the children and gave them ice
cream and cake. The Sunday school
birthday box recently opened also Melted
handsomely for the uses of the school.
The first Sunday in this month the
Sunday school elected officers: Geo.
w. Stanley, Superintendent; j. w. Cha
pin. Assistant Superintendent; Miss
Rubie Guthrie, Tr easurer; Jos. M.
Taylor, Secretary. A report of the Sec
rotary and Treasurer showed the school
to be in good financial health. A few
Sundays ago the school pledged S25 to
the pastors salary, and that is now paid,
with all other debts, and money on hand.
Our school is not large but it is doing
the work.
The Executive Board of the Conven-
ton meets here next Friday. They will
be given royal welcome.
The new annex to our church, or Sun
day school room, was dedicated Sunday
morning last. A good sermon by the
pastor, with good music and report
from the building committee made the
morning hour interesting and profitable,
A large audience was present and they
we're greeted by an able sermon from the
very appropriate text ound in Nehemiah
K. 80: HE will not forsake the house Of
our God" Surely, 1--WE are marching
onward to Zion."
Easter Sunday special observance will
be given the day. In the morning, the
pastor, Rev. Mr.. Guthrie. will preach
appropriately for the occasion and the
communion services will be observed.
A number of accessions to the church
are expected at this time. In the eve
ming will be special exercises by the
Sunday school.

This last achievement required sever

say that the Spokane church 10 made of

Spokane is 30 located and backed that
