Reopening Services at East Pearl Street M. E. Church
 Letter from Pas tor Tullar.

 street NJ. F.. church, which has been closed several weeks while repairs and Improvements have been made, will be reopened tomorrow, Sunday, and in connection with this event the pas tor, Rev. Edgar c. Tullar. has just prepared a letter which Is to be sent to each member of the church and congregation. It is as follows; My Dear Friend:
 It is a pleasure to send you this greeting, and with it an invitation to the reopening exercises of our church! I hope you will be able to attend each service.
 These exercises are not to raise money, but to increase our interest In the church.; to arouse in each other a new spirit of loyalty and love toward all those things for which the church stands. We all agree that our church ought to be an evangelistic church! Are we doing all that we possibly can to make it such?
 Our church, as you know, depends entirely upon Voluntary subscriptions for its support. We are just complet- ing some long, and greatly needed re- pairs, at a cost of about s4.000. Pledges have been received from those who love the church and believe this work should be done. Have you made your subscription? If not, will you not do so at once, so that you may enter more joyously into the celebra- 1oAtroktA,, nf pd and beautified church edifce?
 We read that In olden times the temple services were without influence while the priests were driven from the altars.. Disaster, defeat famine came upon; the people. The prophet of God stated stinat the people had been rob ping God in withholding their tithes and offerings. Have we been with holding from God? We believe that Gods promises apply to us and to our church. Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse. and l will pour you out a blessing such as there shall not be room enough to receive"
 Jesus said of one place: II could not do many mighty works, because of un- belief Beloved, don't let it be said of us. that our unbelef has hindered the progress of our church, or kept it from accomplishing the very best re- suits. Let us make the reopening, the beginning of deeper interest in the church, because of more perfect conservation 6f ourselves to the Mas ter's service.
 With loving interest in you and yours remain,
 Cordially your pastor
 EDGAR C. TULLAR.
