Mr. w. H Hammet says for the past
twenty years have been faithful in
the discharge of my duties both an /
citizen and rs = member of the Bap-
fist church in the city Of Des Moines.
/ have served as deacon. Supterin-
tendent Of the Sunday school, and have
been especially interested in every
branch Of the church work, and ct THU
time Whsn our church seems % Be mis-
feptsS sirsd' ffssf'i { III. s'ddtity to speak
out in behalf Of it in order that
our friends may not be misled
as to the real condition Of the
church. Six and a half years ago Co
rinthian Baptist church Of which ! am
4 member was located on old 18th
street, in small house valued at $1,000,
and our membership was about lao,
and after worshiping in this little house
for two or more years, we purchased
the old Unitarian church building at
the corner Of 18th and Linden streets,
at a cost Of $500 The old building
and lot on 18th street was sold for
500, and we received from the Gala
nan estate $1,000, this enabled US to
make payments Of $17OO on properly
purchased. s
] have noted that during the past
three years the African Methodist
church has raised and paid on their in
debtedness more than $4,000, and the
Union Congregational church has
raised and paid on their building $4,000
and each one Of these churches has a
smaller membership than we have and
especially the Congregational church.
During the past three years our church
has not paid ! dollar on the principle
debt. and our present indebtedness is
about $l7OO Our present member
ship is about 200, with about eighty or
ninety active members. Since we are
looking to the public to assist US in
making our work a success, it is Moth
ing but right that the people should
know the real condition of the work !;
and it is for this reason that Ihave
mads the above statements.
We shall hope as the New Year
sdawns upon us to rally our forces and
thus see our church move on in the
work of the master Register Leader.
