A financ al statement covering the work

Church. of which Rev. NJ. Ross Fishburn
is pastor. for the past five years. has
been issued by the board of trustees of
thu congregation. 1t shows that the

time named. for building and parish pu--
poses. the sum of $4,000. The report is
signed by A L. Sturtevant. president of
tn. board of trustees. and Nor;on NJ. Lit
tie. secretary.
At the present time the Mount Pleasant
Church has a membership OF 900 while
five years ago the total number of men,
ters was $50
Compelled by the growing congrega-
ticn 10 enlarge the church building" says
the report. 1.-The society five years ago
cured a first trust on the property Of
S:in.0OO. Second trust notes were sold to
4 further amount of $4,000. making
To al of $4,000. We paid out in connec-
ton with the building and furnishing of
tla auditorium total of $5SG3J.
I'VE have therefore expended upon con-
stTuction work S1S63J over and above
TIE amount we borrowed. We have also
reduced the amount Of the second trus;
notes to $1,000 making total payment
OF SD. 635. In addition to these amounts
We have paid our regular running ex-
pcnses. amounting to $4,000 during the
five years. also interest charges amount
ing 10 SlVOOo"d tOt1l OI @Ot,OoO tLc past
five years.
ITO this total should be added the gen.
erous contributions made by the church
to benevOlence. also the sums used by
the various organizations of the church
for running expenses (aggregating be-
tween 5000 and 100000. which do not
pass through the treasury of the board
o. trustees.
Thus il will be seen that our church
and society have raised mot borrowe6
ard expended. the past five years. for
building and parish purposes and for be-
nevolence. more than $4,000"
