Work Of a Congregation That Could
 Not Afford to Pay for Labor.

With the light from a dozen lan- terms helping them to see where to place ioists and how to nail on wealth erboards. ten members of the Yecker Avenue Baptist Church worked until after II o'clock last night on their new church building
 Tho Yeckcr Avenue Baptist Church was organized about three years ago | until recently the congregation wor- shipped in small frame building. Additions to the congregation made a larger building necessary and it was decided to build n church.
 But the congregation was not a wealthy /one, and the members felt that they could not give money enough for a new building Then the Rev William l.. Harms, pastor of the church. had an idea
 We can afford to buy material for new building and each one of us can give little of his time in work, T MT Harms said. The congregation agreed and the material was bought.
 Every day and many nights, under the direction of some of the members of the congregation who arc carpen- ters, the work goes on. Those who cannot work by day give a little of their time at snight and tho women of the church have coffee ready for the men when the work is over. Kan sas City Times.
