churches. fairs are held. Almost every
church in this city is preparing to hold
such events, but among the first is the
Linden Avenue Methodist, at Linden and
Ocean avenues, of which the Rev. e. c.
butcher is pastor. Since Mr.. butcher
has been ohicfatlng in Greenville, there
has been a marked increase in the attend
ance and also in the finances. This church
Is laboring TO overcome seemingly insur-
mountable obstacles, being under one Of
the largest debts of any Protestant
Church in this city. The majority of
them have been Of long standing, but
since the advent of Pastor Huiis success
sor, many of the debts have entirely dis
appeared. Mr.. butcher has done mucii
work since taking charge of the Linden
Avenue Methodist Church, and has be
come quite popular with his congregation.
