Report of Auxiliary Mission work at IS
and So Church street: At the opening of
the mission rooms Sept. l, 1903 a most gen.
erous gift of twenty chairs was received
from Mrs Miles Benner of East Northport :;
an organ was secured and meetings were
opened. By dint of persistent soliciting on
| the part of Mrs. johnson and the respon-
siveness of the citizens of Belfast, the ex-
penses. of the mission have all been met,
and the meetings have gained nightly in
attendance, until now the seating capacity
| is proving too small to accommodate the
large gatherings that assemble to listen to
the word of God 50 clearly expounded by
/ Rev Mr.. and Mrs johnson. Each week
! some one has been bettered through these
! services and the needy of Belfast have felt
the warm hand of this mission More than
two hundred pieces of clothing, besides
shoes and bedding, have been distributed
to deserving families. Mr.. and Mrs. John
son receive no remuneration for their ser
vices, only what comes to them in the JOY
of helping others, for they thoroughly be
! lieve in home mission WORT. They and
their friends speak very highly of the cour-
tesy of the professional and business men
who have so kindly contributed toward the
support of the same. The Lord surely is
with this work. Com.
