The church school shows an increase
in membership, but it is stated that
there is need of more teachers, partlc-
ularly for classes of young men ana
young women. Upon the recommenda-
ton of the music committee the church
voted to vest the choir. The report of
the institutional board showed that
until the present year the institutional
work has been conducted at financial
loss to the church, but that under the
present management not only has the
deficit of past years been made up, but
the board is enabled to begin the new
years work with small balance on
hand. These institutional features are
available not only to the memberShip
of the church, but also to outsiders.
1t was shown that the present gymna-
stun membership consists of Baptlsts,
Christian Scientists, Episcopaiahs,
Friends, Hebrews, Lutherans. Metho-
dists, Reformers. Unitarians and many
persons of no church connection at all.

signed to go upon the lecture platform,
