Evidences Of Interest in Church Work
The attendance at the Sunday school
and the morning church service at the
Methodist Episcopal church last Sunday
indicate the growing interest in the
work of this church. There were SO in
attendance at the Sunday school ses-
sion and the congregation at the hour
Of morning service was the largest
morning audience that the pastor has
been privileged to preach to since his
coming to Winnemucca. This is re-
markable because a number who are
quite regular attendants of the morn
ing service were absent, and in view
of the fact that Bishop Robinson of the
Episcopal church was to preach and
confirm class in the Episcopal church
at the same hour. Since the series of
revival meetings, which were conducted
during the first half of January, there
has been a manifest increase of inter
est in Sunday school and church attend
ance Nine new members of the church
have been enrolled during and since
the close of the revival services, and
the pastor is arranging to receive a
large number next Sunday. BY reason
of the professions during the revival
meetings, there should be at least TWEEN
ty persons present themselves for
membership in the church next Sunday
morning. May it be SO. Are you onef
If so, be in your place, and please God,
and make glad the hearts of the pastor
and members of the church.
At the second quarterly conference,
held Monday night, JanuarN 30th, the
initial step was taken in the remodeling
of the present church building, by the
appointment of committee of FIVE,
consisting of the pastor and the follow
ing trustees: Messrs. M. s. Bonni-
field. Preston O'Neal, Chris. Heubach
and Bert Reed, to consider plans and
estimates and report the same to the
official board or to a future quarterly
conference.
There were no services last Sunday
evening, the same being dismissed out
of courtesy to Bishop Robinson, of the
