with the dark woodwork. The choir has
place at the side of the pulpit But per-
haps the most important change has
been the addition of new heating sys-
tenn. All these changes have cost the
church $12o0. all but small portion of
this having been paid some time ago and
the debt completely wiped out Friday
night
To the jealous and untiring work OF
Rev. John H. Trites, who has been pas
tor the last two years, the church owes
it's prosperity in a large measure. and
recognized its appreciation of his services
by raising his salary recently. The
church now has a membership Of lis,
about 20 having been added, the most Of
them by baptism. during Mr. Trites'
pastorate. 1t has a Sunday school with
an enrolment of 200 and a growing c.
E. Society The church owns a parson-
age and has a vestry building separate
from the church proper. altogether quite
valuable property.
The organization of the church society
dates back to 1919, but records of the
past are rather obscure as to the history
for the first 50 years or more. Pastors
Of recent years have been: Elbridge
