WRIGHT MEMORIAL IMPROVE.
MENTS.

Inc Rev. George L. Booker Makes a
Splendid start in That Direction.
Rev. George e. Booker, pastor of
Wright Memorial Church, stated to his
congregation Sunday that he had been
very forcibly impressed during his
brief ministry here with the fact that
certain improvements, both to the in
terror and exterior of their church
building. were badly needed. so as to
make the house more comfortable. at
tractivc and beautiful.
With this purpose In view, 1t was his
desire to newly carpet the floor, cush-
ion the pcws, fresco the walls, paint
the building. and otherwise beautify
their edifice.
After presenting the matter, and
stating that the sum of ST. $50 would be
required to make these improvements,
he proceeded to raise the amount need
ed for this purpose.
Liberal and numerous responses were
promptly made, and in n very short
time the appeal of their pastor result
ed in securing s1,470, and it Is their in
tention TO commence this work at q
very early day
The Rev. MIR. Booker and the mem
bcrS of his charge are to be congratu-
lated upon their almost unprecedented
success in obtaining such n large col
lection for the worthy enterprise which
they have undertaken. 1t Is their pur-
pose to make this sacred edifice as at
trartive and beautiful as any in the
city, and with these additions they can
certainly justly feel proud of their
house OF worship.
Under the faithful ministry and I'M
firing zeal of their pastor, this charge
is making very decided progress in all
departments of their church work.
Their Sunday school, especially, is in
most iiourishng condition. Seventy
five additions have been reported dur
ing the past three months, and the
attendance Sunday morning was the
largest for many years. In this de-
partment Of their work new library
has been purchased, and paid for, and
besides the children of the school have
raised Sis on the Sunday school build
ing debt since January l of this year.
