The month of April that has just

our labors, for the upbuilding Of His

are in the best of condition; all the
obligations have been met and paid,
and we close the month entirely free
from debt, many thanks to the ones
who were SO liberal in helping us
financially. During the month the

Mission Board, 50; Printing and Sta
tionery. $3.50; PASTORS salary, $50;
Chairs for the Sunday school, So; Col
lected towards Building Fund, $751;. 80.
This brings total disbursements for the
month to $145. so.
We have been pleased to have had
with us for the past few weeks Mr. and
Mrs. Pierce and sister, of Darby, Penn.
Mr.. and Mrs Pierce were with us last
summer aud together with the friends
visiting them in their home, were a help
to us, Mrs. Pierce actively taking part
in the work of u Sunday school. We
trust that we shall again this summer
see Mrs. Pierce as a teacher in ourSun-
day school. Owing to a limited
amount of room in the church building
for our Sunday school, the officers of
the school are trying to make arrange
ments for the erection of a tent in the
real of the church to which we will re-
move a portion of the Sunday school
after the opening service in the church.
We regret that through sickness on
Sunday last, Mrs. Elizabeth Ware, one
of our faithful members, was detained
at home and unable to attend the serv-
ices. We are glad, however, that Mrs.
Ware is improving and we know that
a word to the wise is sufficient, Don't
work so hard hereafter" We also
missed from service last Sunday Mrs.
Mathis, who is spending a few days in
Philadelphia, and Mrs. Conner, who is
also on q visit to her home.
Prosperity has not only been felt in
the life of church, we note that one of
our senior members during the past
week has been making flying trips
through the town and Cape May
County in his new Oakland 6, pur-
chased from the Oakland's sales agent,
William Gardiner, Sr. We know that
brother Hewitt is we'll pleased with
his new car, and hope that himself and
family will derive much pleasure from
it. We are pleased to hear that Miss
Brooke Hewitt, who has been spend
ing a few weeks with her sister at
Gloucester, is rapidly regaining her
health and will soon return to her
home here. We are glad to welcome
back Mrs. Willsie and father, also MI.
Monroe, all of philadelphia. Anglesea
has commenced to look like rye old
summer time' once more, and the
church extends to every one a cordial
welcome to unite with us in service
this year, we would especially like to
make next Sunday, May 18th, in a way,
a "Grand Rally" day, in the interest
of a better observance of the Lords
Day. Everyone is invited and reques-
ted to bring their friends with them.
