was time to renew subscriptions and
urged all the members who did not take

el work, stated that the chapel was
completed and paid for, the pews have
been shipped and the pulpit is being
made.

The President proposed that this could
be given by the members easily, as we
have sixty two, and $27 was raised at
once.
There were many expressions OF praise
and thanksgiving from grateful hearts
for Gods goodness during the past year
and one has to look over the following
reports to see that not only our Union
but the entire community has cause Tor
great thankfulness.
I'VE have always strength enough
and sense enough for everything GOD
wants US to do.

Report of un1ermented wine at the
Sacrament for 1866.
The Baptist church began the use OF
Unfermented wine, April 7th 1906 and
there has been no opposition heard
After this servicei all" the w = u
women seemed happy.
The Presbyterian church has also ad-
opted the use of Unfermented WINE
All the churches in town are now walk
ing hand in hand in this work and we
feel greatly encouraged
One meeting of the w C T U was de-
voted to this department and the liter,
ature in connection with the music and
scripture proved quite helful. This peb-
BILE cast into the sea that caused the
waves to widen until they lashed the
opposite shore. The work has been ac-
complished with very little effort on
the part of the Supt., but by the, help
of God, my noble associates and TINS
Union, the results are before US.
As there is little more to be done IN
this department, we are merged into
the department of Penal and Reforma-
tory work. The next meeting, Sept.
18th will be devoted to thestudy OF TINS
work and we trust each member VIII IN
some way, try to make this meeting one
of great interest and lasting good may
be accomplised.
Let us try to lift the fallen to high
plane of living by pointing them TO
crucihed Sayior who, died to redeem
them from sin and disgrace. The years
work is ended and we stand at the
threshold of new year with the un-
written page pure and white before us.
May God help and direct each oneot us
to write pure thoughts, noble deeds and
godly living, and may each realize that
true happiness is found only in living,
not for self alone, but for others and
the glory of four Heavinly Father.
