FAID UP IN FULL.
The A. R. P. Congregation Out Of Debt
Steam Heat Put in the Church.

recent congregational meeting at
the A. Il. p. Church proved the healthy
condition of the spirituality and crafty
ing state of the finances while showing a
most pleasing improvement In the COM
fort Of the house Of worship. The pastors
salary and other current expenses have
been paid. Except in a small amount, the
money is in hand with which to pay for
the steam heating apparatus.
The congregation in point Of numbers is
a small one. Individually, a majority are
unable to pay large sums, yet the promised
salary of the pastor for last year has been
paid in full.
The cheerfulness and the readiness with
which the members responded to the call
Of duty has been, perhaps, more gratify-
ing to Deacon j. +. Bradley than to any
one else. He is the man to remind those
who lag behind in their payments.
! While others with hearts just as gene
rous and with hearts just as Jealous in
their love and support Of the church gave
according to their ability, yet w. P. Greene
led all the rest with $50 to pastors salary.
Mr.. Greene is public spirited citizen, and
liberal giver to every good or patriotic
purpose. The beauty about the situation
In the A. R. P. congregation is, that every
one gave freely and on the promptings OF
his own heart. There was no compulsion
| ana IL Is QOpeQ CudU I'LL ludy IcdllZo Iudl
the Lord loves cheerful giver.
Behold how good and how pleasant it is
for brethren to dwell together in unity.
As a further evidence of spiritual zeal
and church pride, members Of the congre-
cation are now arranging to organize 6
choir of the sweetest singers. One OF the
most accomplished organists, as we'll as
one OF the prettiest young women in town,
Miss Lorena Beacham, will furnish the
best of instrumental music. Music from
the instrument combined or commingled
with the sweetest voices will make the
Psalms \more soul-inspiring with love for
the Father Of US all, and sweet music will
raise the heart to the highest degree OF
religious eXaltatiOn.
! The A. r. P. congregation have right
to a feeling Of gratitude that the little
church around the corner is 80 well up
with it's finances, and all rejoice at the har-
mony that prevails among them.
| 1t would be pity to say anything which
could possibly spoil this lovely scene, and
it might be even a sin to refer to the skele-
ton in the closet or to think Of the lion IN
the path. For these reasons no mention is
made Of them, and we shall not attempt to
describe the Great Shylock who Is stand
| ing at the door to demand his pound OF
flesh, with which to feed the brethren and
to clothe subsidized missionaries. This
Shylock brings his commission as from
the hand of the Father Of US all, but which
in fact Is nothing more nor less than the
demand Of unauthorized bosses OF the
people.
