Church, and have lately found that they
must make important improvements to
the grounds and building, as well as to
the parsonage. In view Of the situa tor
no public appeal for money was made,
but Rev. J. w. Wildman, the scholarly
and progressive pastor, ventured to say
to the Doctor that his people might be
depended upon for the last thousand OF
the $4,000. Last week, when DR.. Hatcher
became convinced that the amount would
be raised, he sent telegram to Mr.
Wildman saying that he saw success
clearly in sight and asked for the thou
sand dollar bond. Mr.. Wildman replied
promptly, saying that his people had not
taken their collection, but giving his own
bond for the amount until the subscrin
ton could be taken.

presented to his people. and that With
characteristic liberality they had given
more than $1,000.
