LINCOLN CHURCH is
NOW CLEAR OF DEBT
Enough Pledged to Pay OFF Debt. Poll
tics Not Bothering Lincolnites. Death
of Prominent Citizen. Other News.

Last Sunday was a red-letter day with
the church people here. The third an
niversary of the new concrete church
was held. DR.. John Krantz, of New
York City, was the preacher for the
day and edited all by his eloquent pre-
sentation of Gospel truth. He proved
himself to be king of church finance.
The one thousand dollar debt was raised
in cash and subscriptions. When this
amount is all paid in, The First Metho-
dist Episcopal Church of Lincoln City
will be freed of its church debt.

seem to have ceased and everything is
very calm.
