as the congregation here had been called on time and again and could not do any thing more. He said, though, that he had prayed over the matter and was confident of success. He told of how the different prominent members of the Church had been with him and held prayer meeting asking God to crown their efforts with success MT. Powell always puts Christ ahead of the work of raising money. In few minutes the money was coming in rapidly and after the expiration of Mir. Powell announced that the fund had reached $21, 900. Almost simultaneously the members of the congregation as one lifted their voices to the song Praise God From Whom All Blessings Flow"
 MT Powell says he is more than pleased with the result of his work here. The Church have already invited him to come back and hold met ting for that church. Owing to previous engagements MT. Pow ell could not accept at once, but stated Montgomery again in January and hold a meeting in the interest of the Clayton Street Methodist Church
 The members of the congregation of the Dexter Avenue Methodist Church are very enthusiastic in their praise of the generosity of MT. w. F. Vandiver and of MT. w. N. Cox. MT Vandiver subscribed g, coo to complete the work of erecting a steeple on the church. MT. Cox offered to have the work of finishing the interior of the Sunday School room done and would send the church receiptcd bill. s5 ss.5eo. 5s estimated that this work Will cost
 The buyers of the bonds also agree to pay the interest on the same. hence the Trustees will be able to raise the money at once by borrowing. If necessary and still pay no interest themselves. It is ex- pected, though, that most of the sub scribers will pay their subscription at once and thus avoid the paying of the interest. Already great many have done so and others have signified their inten- tion of so doing.
 A monster prayer meeting will be held at the Dexter Avenue Church Wednesday night At this meeting all persons who have purchased bonds are requested to be present when the papers will be deliv- cred to them and others who wish to sub scribe are also invited. The prayer meet ing will conclude with a church supper and a pleasant social hour.
