/ Mt. Lake Park has secured a good
parsonage property, well situated, for
$1,000. A rare bargain and adds strength
and permanency to this charge.
At Kingwood the congregation has
built and paid for during the year, a
fine brick parsonage. with all modern
conveniences, costing S6OO2, situated On
beautiful lot valued at $1,000. This is
one of the finest parsonages in the
State. Great credit is due all concern
ed.
At Parsons some Improvement has
been made on the parsonage, and a
walk has been laid in front of the
church and parsonage costing more
than $50, all of which has been paid.
Improvements have been made at
Terra Alta on the parsonage and
grounds to the amount of $500.
We have given special attention to
the church Benevolences, especially
foreign missions, and church extension.
We find some people, 'Eeven in the
churches who are not in sympathy with
| the missionary interest of the church.
yet | think upon the whole the interest
is increasing with the years. Mis-
siOnary literature was literally distri-
buted throughout the district early in
the year, and we trust when all reports
are in to have an increase for the year.
Many.of the men are deligent and zeal
GUS in this work and always come up at
the close of the year with an increase.
am sorry to say, there are always
some few exceptions, and these excep-
tons some times give us a shortage in
the annual collection. | am glad to
note handsome increase in the mis-
sionary collection, at Oakland, King
wood, Terra Alta and Hendricks and
Evenwood. Several other points have
made an increase over last year.
The men were at the posts of duty
soon after the adjournment of the Con-
ference. They have done faithful work
throughout the year, and their fidelity
to the Master and his cause has made
the success of the district possible.
While their salaries are not large, not
what they should be, yet they prosecute
the work without murmer or complaint.
Our success in the field is their victory
in the churches.
l have pressed the work of this large
district, with, | trust, sufficient pru-
dence and zeal, with untiring energy,
not at times without WEAKNESS Of body
and brain, in His name, knowing that
these is a reward at the end of duty. |
have tried to be good to the brethren;
they have been good to me.
His blessing has been upon the chur-
ches, and prosperity has come to the
people.
With hearty cordially for the breth-
rem, and gratitude to God, close this
my fourth years work on the district.
