From the original eighteen members,
plymouth congregation has grown until
it's books show that since organization
there have been enrolled 3,l42 persons,
and at the annual meeting a short time
ago the actual members at present in
the church numbered $50.
Because of its downtown location,
flymouth church had very large num-
per of changes in it's membership. As
the business portion Of the city has
crowded out residences in the vicinity
OF plymouth, the people occupying
those residences and who were attend
ing plymouth church moved farther out,
withdrew their memberships, and Joined
other churches in the vicinity of their
new homes. For this reason it is
probable that when the new Plymouth
church is built, the congregation viii
take on rapid growth, Including many
