away on Sundays. Fully 10000 were
in attendance during the four weeks.
The Berge Sisters assisted the pastor,

so arraigned. that. when necessary.

At the corner stone laying, July Is,
1915, tho pastor. ID. J. Givan, was as
sisted by DR.. r. E. Martindale and
the district superintendent Or. Mar
tindale delivered the address. which
was great, and greatly appreciated
The district superintendent looked
after the collection; and the pastor
placed the stone. The dedication has
been deferred from March 26 to April
30. Last spring my predecessor re-
ported $4,000 cash. in hand; this year
we have raised S11. .09S, leaving from
81 900 TO $4,000 to be raised on the
day OF dedication. That princely man,
Thomas H. Book. blessings on him. is
paying half. or more. OF the cost OF
this magnificent building. from start
to finish. Brethren. the generalship
displayed by the sweet spirited. peace
flowing pastor In the CONDUCT Of this
enterprise, from first to last, has been
perfectly marvellous. Without the
leadership OF some such man, ] do not
now see how the work could have
been done. The congregations are
growing. new members being received
almost every Sunday; the Sunday
School is almost double what IL was
two years ago. The pastor and peo-
pie arc happy and working like bea-
vers.
