ceives $500 Raise in Annual
Salary.

~ II L quarterly conference OF Nc
III kendree Methodist Episcopal
Church has unanimously voted an
increase of 500 year to the salary Of
the pastor Rev L. Morgan Chambers.
This resolution becomes effective April l,

Rev. Mr. Chambers came to Mckendree
from Bethany Church. Baltimore. where
he DOUBLED the attendance and raised a
church debt of 81 coo. Prior to his pres
ent pastorate Mr.. Chambers spent his
whole life in Baltimore. He is an alumnus
of Baltimore City College and johns Hop

Under his leadership Mckend.ee Church

1t is seldom that church advances a
pastors salary more than 500 at one

milton of the young pastors ability as

Good Resolutions.

The young are largely influenced by
their seniors, and upon them falls grave
responsibility for the direction given to
moral and religious training. Upon no
other single subject is this more import
ant than on the question OF temperance.
Our subject is why every one should
sign 4 temperance pledge.
1t is of the highest importance that
every one should do anything and every
thing that will help in avoiding an evil
habit. Every good resolution that is
formed is valuable 1t means purpose to
