LINCOLN CITY NOTES.

For several years the people of this town
have been thinking that some time they
would, In some way, make their church
larger, so that 10 can seat more people, This
summer they began to consider It seriously
and plumber OF people were sent ont to get
different people TO subscribe as much as they
could toward it. About twelve hundred dol
lars were pro ,lised. This was very near the
desired fifteen hundred, andShc hearts Of the
people beat high. But alss they had been
successful this far, but their success was now
! TO be followed by failure for the people had
given all that they could spare However hey
thought that sometime the remainder of the
sum could be raised, and it was decided 10
collect one third of what was then promised,
so that they could commence the work on
the church Immediately. Not all OF the one
third could be collected, and it was thought
the plan would have TO be Abandoned, so last
Monday evening meeting Of the trustees Of
the church was called at A. W. Smalrs store,
when it was decided that their former plans
which were to completely remodel the church
would have TO be given up aad the money
which had been given for that purpose, re-
funded to the people, The trustees know that
the church ought to be larger, and the re-
mainder Of the people agree with them, SO
they have agreed TO less elaborate plans,
which are to make the church longer, paper
and paint It inside and give IL a much
needed coat OF paint on the outside.
Il is time that the church is large enough
on ordinary occasions, but when people come
from afar of to attend our special services,
do we want them to have to stand up and
stand on their tip-toes to see over the heads
OF the people standing in front of them? In 1
deed we dot not, and we hope that success
will soon crown the efforts of those whe are |
working faithfully to have the church made /
larger. We feel sure that these new arrange
ments Will better meet the approval Of the
people, and we are glad that the trustees
have decided to adopt them, for while we
think that the House Ofthe Lord should be
the most beautiful building in the town, less
costly one Will serve the same purpose
We know that the people OF Lincoln are not
the Kind to be easily discouraged, and when
the town increases in size, a new church will
be built, and the future generations OF Lin
,oln Will worship IN a church which will be
1stter united TO the town.
