thus earned the right to feel partic-

church. MANY of the windows have
very handsome floral designs and all
are in the best of taste.

CHURCH THAT HUSTLER BUILT
Win II. Matsler, a Former Leon Roy,
Erects a $1,000 House in .
Town OF 300 People.

With but twenty families repre-
sented in the congregation, and to
build a fine $11, 900 church in town
of 800 people, is no small task, but
that is what was done, at Promise
City, Iowa, by a Princeton boy-Win
R. Matsler-at the head of hust-
ling organiza ton. Mr.. Matsler is
son of Mr. and Mrs. c. F. Matsler of
this city, says the Princeton Post. =
When young Matsler went to
Promise. City fresh from Drake Uni
versity, Des Moines, to serve as pas
tor for the little congregation of the
Christian church, he saw the need of
new building He lost no time in
getting it. With pledge of but 3d.
900 he started building worth al
most four times that amount. Last
Sunday a great congregation assem-
bled there to dedicate the magnifi-
cent structure. On that day $8,25O
was raised The church was out of
debt at the first service and they
had $3.50 to spare. Now the church
property in that little city is valued
at $4,000. Elder Matsler is preach
ing to a live, happy and contented
people, and the membership of his
church is increasing rapidly.
Just an example of what ability
and hustle can do.

not permit The Hurst store has

southern Iowa, and now they are
starting in to make it the best out
side of the largest cities
