the NJ. E. Sunday School was held
last Sunday. There were no special

made to raise the missionary collec-

three dollars in the afternoon. At
the evening service Mr.. Warren
Darby contributed enough to raise
the amount to a hundred dollars
for the Sunday School. The "ban-
ner class" for this year is Mrs.
