 The ladies' aid society of the Grand avenue Congregational church has found that some of it's plans for rals- ing money the past season have been so successful that these methods will probably be repeated next year. The mite boxes yielded $250 with the least possible effort and the calendars, though representing much more work, proved successful also and not alone from the financial side, but each day gave some hopeful or cheering message from a friend or acquaintance. The work on the calendars will begin early, as next year it Is expected the added interest of birthdays will enter into the compilation and the work must be fin- ished before Christmas. For some years past this society has been able to pay $500 toward some church necessity and now that the needs are great the ladies are pleased that they have been able to add an extra hundred.
