the work by months for all of the
years. 1t would be too
and tiresome to you If I
we're to attempt TO detail the work
by the church during
the PASTORAL period Hence it will
suffice here to detail the year 1916
only.
1t will be next TO the impossible |
to give an accurate account of the
actual membership of the church, For
as all city churches, the members
are very much like Tennyson's fl.
nous brook, they with their names
left on the books of the church, con-
tinue to roll on forever, and very
often we never hear from them after
they once become member.
As stated elsewhere in this report, |
when Rev. Kelley took charge of the
church in February. 1904, we had 4
membership of exactly four hundred;
and sixteen watchcare members, We
at one motion dropped the names of
two hundred thirty a few years
thereafter, and the next two years
dropped the names of four hundred
fifty by single motion; We have dis
missed about forty members by Civ
ing them letters by their request, and
they have died at about the rate of
eight per annum, making a total OF
about eight hundred twenty members
dismissed by death or otherwise dur
ing the PASTORAL period, and the
church now has a membership of
seven hundred line, and two hundred
watch members. This shows that
during the past thirteen years, one
thousand, three hundred and thirteen
members have been added to the
church, and an average of more than
one hundred per annum.
During these fleeing years, the
church has made very rapid strides,
and improvements too numerous to
mention here hut | might add that
we have also gotten along very we'll
as a family of a single unit, and for
the most part in absolute harmony
OF course every regulated family has
its own internal dsagreements, but
like the real Christian church, they
disagree in order that they may more
fully agree for mutual happiness and
contentment.
