For fifty years the church has strug.

There are some stu remaining In ouu

when 1t was struggling for existence.
James Reed, tho father Of the church."
is still directing the board by his wise
and judicial counsel. For over forty
three years he has been the recording
steward. and although the hand of age
has touched his body. W hts SOUL has
still the fire of youth. Regardless Of
weather, he Is always TO be found at
his post. and when the message comes
he Will die In the harness. to go and
meet the sainted wife who left us at
the opening of the year. By his watch
full care we have the entire church rec
ords. the quarterly conference reports
OF almost every conference since the
foundation of the church. Sra
James Barton and A. J. McNash are
still guiding the ship by their counsel,
Brother McNGsh has left the city to
try and regain his health, and the earn
est prayers Of the church are that he
may soon return benefited by his trip
Aunt Eleanor Wauchope Is still able to
be with us. although well up In years.
For fifty years she has been In the
Lords service. Although Matthew Reed
Is not able to worship vita us on ac-
count Of old age. yet he still remembers
the members In his prayers. His grand
work In the past Will never be forgot
ten. James Wilson, although not a
member. never forgets his old home
when he Is In town. Chaplina Street will
always remember the lahors Of this
devoted child Of God Sister Emma
Hubbard has been n faithful worker in
the Masters vineyard Great will be
her reward In the future. h.
The congregation still worshlps In the
first building which they erected fifty
years age. 1t is consequently time-worn
| and innocent of any pretensions to
architectural beauty. A new building
| il sadly needed and the full measure
of usefulness possible to this people
cannot be had without It. 1t Is impos.
siblc to accommodate the congregation
on Sunday evening without the use OF
chairs. The Sabbath school, under the
guidance Of Brother Elmer Crimes, has
| increased TO over 325, and the room Is
too small for It's accommodation. This
Is the largest record the school has eve,
had.
We feel greatly encouraged with the
outlook for new church. the, members
are taking hold OF the enterprise with
n desire to see It accomplished. Al.
ready several thousand dollars have
been promised
The pastors who have ministcred &c
the spiritual wants of Chapline Street.
