 been done and plans are made fol
 more. The increased force of workers
 has made this possible and the church
 es through their pastors, and people
 have cooperated very fully in the ef-
 fort: During the last few months Sev- en speakers have been busy in the Sunday services and the response, botf | in interest and in financial way ha< been very cordial and helpful.

 their employees; working men are learn
