eaten for twenty-five cents than the one fur
nished. The whole town and surrounding
country seemed to enter into the occasion,

community, and especially the sister
churches for the fine patronage given. The

paid. The League up to date has con-
tributed 1916 toward the twentieth century
fund of the church.
