4 STATEMENT AND APPEAL TO ALL
FRIENDS AND PATRONS OF the
SUNDAY Scp00l.

We have been for some time thinking
talking and planning. Now for action
The call issued some days ago resulted
favorably. They came, they saw, and
were convinced of the necessity for the
annex to the Union Church to accommo-
date the Sunday School.
There is perfect unanimity OH the
subject among all parties interested.
The Ladies' Aid Society met, endorsed
the plan and pledged their support, col
lectively and individually, and now it is
in order to provide ways and means to
carry on the work. An estimate Of lum-
Der has been made, and Mr.. Ward, OF
the Case Lumber Co., has agreed to furn-
ish all lumber for framing at reduced
price and on the most favorable terms.
This OF course will be undressed. All 9TH
er material for finishing the room will
have to be purchased from abroad.
This is statement, and now for the
appeal.
VIC oSSuhiC tIat every uouy &c ihtCiCct-
ed in a move of this kind,-some more
and some less, and we ask all friends OF
the cause to help, according to their good
will and ability. An estimate of the cost
has not been made, but we shall need
three hundred and fifty or four hun
dred dollars over and above the estimate
for undressed lumber.
A subscription list will be opened in
the Gazette and that list will be headed
by two little children who live in st.
Louis and are Familiarity known among
their friends as Mike and Junie.
They head the list, now opened in the
Gazette, and have sent 81. 90 to me as a
starter. An invitation il now and hereby
extended to all others to follow their ex-
ample. All amounts of money will be
duly acknowledged, and may be handed
to the Editor of the Gazette, to the Ladies'
Aid Society or the Superintendent.
Respectfully and earnestly,
Yours for the work,
r. F. BONNEY, Supt.
