junior choir of younger people OF nifty
voices. Together this is the largest

their own Sunday school and as part
oi the class organization they nave
an eyangelistic team, which go out TO
the rural districts and hold special
meetings. During the past year
lecture course has been maintained
and a musicale, or an entertainment
OF some character is given by the
church people once a month. In snort
the church is the social center of the
entire membership and their friends
and that they enjoy their church
home is shown by the way they pay
up. A recapitulation of their total ex'
penses for the year shows a summary
Of about $780,, with an income OF
more than enough to cover it.
