church at Cathay was opened, Dr.

The church south of Noonan, com.
pleted during the pastorate of Brother
Ellington, was also dedicated
Conditions have compelled post
ponement of the dedication Of the
church built north of Buford ii year
ago.
At Cheyenne our church still
stands somewhat embarrassed by
debt and not dedicated.
While we are planning for and
could have built half dozen or more
churches this year had conditions
been right, only two enterprises will
be completed. At Harvey Brother
Harris generated the interest which
resulted in $4,000 church enter
prise. 1t is just nearing completion.
A new church is just being COM
pleted at Sherwood. This will be
an excellent building, having full
basement and annex.
Our church at Leeds was struck by
lightning and one end damaged some
cured to repair all damage.
Last fall the people of Ray built
a neat six room parsonage for the
privilege Of participating in the fel-
low ship which, brother Speaker had
begun with an estimable young lady
in the east, and was about to perfect
in the bringing her to the field as
his bride.
The parsonage at COOperstOWn has
been enlarged and painted. A roof
was put on the church.
The Grano parsonage has also

burden, the Ladies Aid have built a
one room house as starter towards

Bantry, Donnybrook, TOlley and New
Rockford have advanced some with
their debts.
Last spring work was begun on
three new railroad lines within the
district, giving occasion for opening
new work.
We attempted to give considerable
special attenAon to inspirational work
during the year. AS indicated in my
last report Evangelist w. A. Dunnett
and Rev. A. J. Coram were kept at
work OH the field during the fall and
winter. About fifteen meetings were
held and each of the men rendered
very satisfactory and efficient service.
Our soul has been sore pressed this
year because of the numerous chang
es in our ranks. The year began with
the absconding of w. A. Laughlin,
before he reached his charge. AS
it closes we are compelled to record
the withdrawal of twelve men who
were appointed to work last fall and
two who came in during the year.
At one time six charges were calling
for attention for this reason.
There are many things that might
be recorded here if me and sense
would permit 1t is possible to say
much about journeys, sacrifices and
and no doubt we are not
behind the very chiefest apostle In
