The School Board Discussed
Bills, Books and Buildings

A. B. Connell, chairman of the
buildings and grounds committee,
reported at the meeting of the school
board Monday evening in favor of
continuing to use the basement of
Cross building for the seventh
grade. By placing electric lights in
the room the committee felt that the
arrangement of last year was all
things considered better than to
change the grade to any other
building.
The reading of the bills and a
brief discussion of them consumed
so much time of the members of the
board that they decided that the fl
nance committee should in the fu-
ture hold a preliminary meeting to
check over and pass judgement on
the bills to be allowed. Further
more a motion made by DR.. w, f.
Royster was carried that no bills
should be allowed without having
attached to it an order from some
member of the supplies committee
or Superintendent Hughes. Sew
eral members of the board protested
against the bills coming in from
janitors for extra services aud main
tanned that in most instances the
work done should properly come
under the regular duties of the jani-
tors as caretakers of their respective
buildings. Inasmuch as some tasks

REQUESTS CHURCH
TO RELEASE HIM
Rev. Mathis Asks Presbyterian
Congregation to Dissolve
Pastoral Relation

In a voice filed with earnestness
and sincerity Rev. H. G.. Mathis,
pastor of the First Presbyterian
church, read to his congregation
Sunday morning at the close of the
sermon his request that he be re.
leased to accept the call of the c sy
Center Presbyterian church. After
mentioning the marked progress
that the church has made in the
nearly nine years in which he has
worked with it Mr.. Mathis said;
"To lay down work like this, with
its hallowed memories and associa
tons is no easy task for the minis
ter" His action was taken becs use
he was conscious also of a higher
duty 10 his Lord in the Kingdom
work, because he felt providence
in the Clay Center call, and need
on account of his home problems of
a larger income.
"Permit me then, beloved" con.
tihued M. Mathis, ITO hand back
with aching heart the high commits
sion with which you have intrusted
me these happy years. Let me ask
you in all kindness and earnestness
to unite with me in asking Pfesby
terry to dissolve the pastoral rela
ton now existing between US"
The time for congregational meet
ing to consider the request and
choose commissioners to represent
the congregation before Presbytery
in lola on September IL was set for
Sunday, Septe mber 10, at the clost
of the morning service.
During the pastotate OF Mr..
Mathis a congregation numbering
I31 has grown to membership OF
900 of which 100 were received OIL

ences have reached total of ovel
So, 1000 during the period. The
beautiful church building SO recent
ly erected speaks for itself of the in
creased equipment for efficient
church work. In changing to Clay
Center Rev. Mathis will enter quite
a different field of labor in that the
city is almost entirely dependent
upon an agricultural community.
The Clay Center church has a mem
bership of over 400 with its aux Ii
ary organizations in active working
order. Within a year it has built
at cost of 81, 900 manse modern
