The Baptist Building Fund.

The good citizens of Durango have
shown such n cordial sympathy with
our building enterprise and have
pledged such material assistance that
we feel that they have right to our
fullest confidence as to the progress
and actual condition of the fund.
When the pastor atarted east, the
18th of March, he carried with him
certificate over the names of the
gentlemen who kindly serve as our
auditing committee, that UP to that
date $5,034.00 had been raised In
pledges and cnsh. ~
The eastern trip. considering the
conditions met, has been pronounced
by many OF our leading men surpris-
ingly successful, and yet the results
were far below our anticipations, be-
ing by exact footing $99O.1,. above all
expenses.
Pledges amounting to $205 came
In from friends abroad during tho
pastors absence and $45 more since
his return. We reason. therefore.
that with the $500 we expect from
our home mission society. we have
$6774.l5 in sight OF the 5000 we
have promised to raise.
This reckoning takes no account
of possible shrinkage. so that count
ing In our present property at its
highest valuation. we are yet some
little distance from the goal OF 0ir
hopes. But we are straining every
nerve down the home stretch. and
have received cheering assurances
that Durango will not see us fail
