$50; the two Baptist Churches IN

and social time and then for each
who wishes to do so to bring his or
her free will Offering and see if we
cannot pay up the debt then and
there. All of you who feel an inter
est in this work are invited to come,
if YOU are not able to bring money,
do not hesitate to come and bring
your good wishes and good will. No
collection will be taken. Only there
will be a little table set apart where
all who are ready for it can
90 and make their free will Offering
The supper will be FROM $50 to 7:5O.
