Sunday, June the 2Sth, was Chill
dren's Day at indianapolis and also
closed the contest for the four months
between What Cheer and Indianapolis.
There were more than 800 present,
with collection of $4,000 as the mis-
sionary offering. This is certainly the
record breaker, and we believe it can
be safely said that no other country
church of ninety members in the state
can show such record. The bible
school has had an average attendance|
in the past four months of III, while
the What Cheer church with q mem
bership of about 100 had an average
attendance of 1874 The, collection at
What Cheer for the four months has
averaged $3.50 per Sunday. Indianap-
oils won the contest by about 1000
points. How is that for a country
