enrolment of about 211. We have held ses-
sion of the school every Sunday during the
year, making SO sessions, this year containing
an extra Sunday for good measure. Our aver
age attendance has been 12e, nearly two
thirds our membership. Easter Sunday was
our banner Sunday and April our banner
month. Three of our number have not been
absent single time for the year. and Emma
Webber, Geneva Perkins, William T. Nor

posed to give you a list of those who have
been absent most, because would have to head
the list with the name of the secretary, which

pastor and wife has left place in the school.
