A Call For Help.

Many if not all of the people well
know what efforts | have put forth
during the past three years t. build
and furnish q church here, With
a strong and continuous effort the
church was built, only leaving a
small balance due. The next effort
was to furnish it, and this we did
with beautiful quartcr.Sawed oak
furniture, the Pews being circular in
design.
The church externally presents
an attractive appearance; internally
being modern in design is beautiful
to look upon. Indeed it is credit
to the people and all ornament to
the town, and think no one has
reason to regret having contributed
to it's erection.
But now to the point, the furni,
tnre was bought on tile installment
plan, payments being fixed at 6
months. The next payment is due
July lst. We were not able to meet
the lst payment (Sl5o), this we
borrowed and have had the note re.
newed from time to time, through
the kindness of them from whom
we borrowed it. Now l wish to
meet those obligations, and to do il
/ again make a call upon the noble
hearted people of the two towns
and the parish. Will not every
one who reads this send me con-
tribution for this good cause?
To my friends anu acquaintance
take this opportunity of saying
bllat this is my last year with you,
Hence all my time and labor has
been spent for you. 1t would do
my soul good, yes, even cause it to
overflow with joy, if some generous
hearted ones would contribute a
sufficient amount to liquidate the
entire debt. Friends will you not
do this, and by thus helping good
cause, have your money invest
ed where you can see the good it Is
doing !? Twill try TO call on every
one either in person or by letter
but my friends don't wait for me
But send me your contribution
whether great or small. All vii
De- acknowledged and thankful!
mceived,
