The pastor and people feel CRATE
full for the results obtained from the
every member canvass conducted
last Sunday at both points, Fairview
and Van Vert. The canvassers, 20
in number, came back to the church
and told their several interesting ex-
periences While we do not know at
this writing the exact amount pledg-

far reaching. The new financial

Church of Christ-Of course, the
readers of the Reporter will want to
know all about the Bible school con-
test-Van Vert VS.. Weldon. We'll
don challenged Van Vert for a three
months-thirteen Sundays-contest.
The only point considered is attend

days held the shorter record. Good
for Weldon. While beating Van
Vert, you are beating your own rec
