PROSPECTS BRIGHT.
Park Church Has Raised $500 and
Wants Only $500 More.


1t was announced at Park Church
yesterday morning by the pastor Rev.
Inman L. Wilcox, that plan had
been arranged for raising $500 to clear
off the debt on the organ. $500 has
been pledged by several friends of the
church on condition that 500 be cleared
on the concert to be given Tuesday
evening, Feb. u, by Mrs. May Sleeper
Ruggles and Mr.. Charles Grout. This
means the selling of 100 tickets at %
cents each.
This can be easily done, in view of
the fact that every ticket will bring
an additional dollar.
When the organ was put in five years
ago at d cost of $1,000, c. w. BoWller
gave $1,000, one half of the cost. The
church has paid from time to time on
the remaining $1,000, so that at the pres
ent time $500 remains unpaid.
This makes $1,000 which has been
raised for the church il the past three
months; $4,000 for the church debt, $1,000
for the deficit on current expenses
which has gradually accumulated for
several years. and $500 for the organ.
This will give the church great imam
cial relief, as it reduces the debt of the
church $500 and the interest 1925. and
clears off the deficit on current ex-
penses.
The pastor also announced that he
had secured pledges for the whole
amount of the interest for the coming
year, This will be $500 this year. This
has all been subscribed by members Of
the church and congregation. Last wear
the interest was 1920. This made II
necessary to raise about 5000 outside
the church The pastor considered II
very gratifying that the church could
raise the whole amount this year with
in the congregation. This is due to the
fact of paying $500 on the principal
Altogether the prospect for Park
church is bright and encouraging Tho
congregation is growing. New peopic
are coming in at every service. Tho
members of the church are very hone
full.
