roll and Junior League, the only
successful ones we ever had for
continued length of time.
The Ladies Aid which was so ably
and cheerfully managed by Mrs H.
w. True shouldered many OF the bur-
dens of the church, it grew and
waxed strong under her tireless eff
forts. She held the presidency of
the organization for ten years and
it is largely due to her devoted fac
tor in our church life, that has made
it possible for the present president,
Mrs. j. w. Carow, to direct its
efforts along efficient lines.
| Other churches helped us in our
struggles. The Marshalltown, Iowa,
church sent box of church hymnals.
The first church of Baraboo sent
| the organ still used in our church
services. Rev. Watson served the
church for five years and was sue
ceeded by Rev. G.. L. Hooking, who
came with his estimable. family in
lSeptember, 1912. During his pastor
ate steps were taken to build new
church. The lot on Miner-av was
purchased. Bishop Quayle spent
Sunday in the city and preached
twice to capacity houses in the
Christian church. His optimism,
broad vision, his deep sincerity in
spired all. Through his influence
the church officers at an afternoon
session first definitely determined to
build the church, in whose walls
these records shall be embedded.
Rev. j. w. Irish, District Superin-
tendent from 1908, to 1914, with his
splendid organizing power gave as
much valuable advise and assistance
as he came on his quarterly visits.
Rev. John Birrell succeeded Rev.
Hooking in September, 1915, and al
most from the day of his arrival
has worked tirelessly to make the
new church reality. The walls
now stand before us and in good
time We shall enter it's gates with
praise and into its courts with
Thanksgiving. The past two years
have marked great growth in the
Sunday school, the Ladies Aid, the
Epworth League and in fact all lines
of church development. We have
had more workers, who have not
spared themselves in His service.
