The people Of Wesley have paid
their pastor $1,000 per year every

tracted by those who caused the
wreck The following is the report
Of Beneyolences and Missions for
three conference years: 1911, s619:
1912. s649; 1913, S6e3. The report
for 1914 will be as good as any since
the wreck
Electric lights have Just been in
stalled at q cost Of more than s400.
all OF which Will be paid before con-
ference. That seems TO be a pretty
good financial showing for a wreck
ed church.

nearly 200 and the Sunday morning
audience will not suffer In a compar-
ison with any other audience OF wor-
shippers in Dover On Sunday morn
