LIBERTY BONDS
BUILD 4 CHURCH

Mariana. Fla, Aug. so.-The Mari
anna Methodist church is making
final payment on its magnificent new
church building, having adopted a very
unique and successful method Of re-
firing the debt. The erection Of this
handsome edifice was begun two years
ago when the cost of labor and ma
terial was low and as a consequences
one of the finest church in Florida
was built at cost of perhaps not
more than half what the present cost
would be.
In completing the building 1t was
necessary to negotiate a loan OF $4,000
| from the General Board of Church Elk
tension. This loan was made on very
| liberal terms and at very low rate OF
| interest, and the temptation was strong
to let the debt remain Indefinitely after
| the manner Of most church. But not

SEEKING the opportunity afforded By

cover the debt and secured the con
tribution OF the bonds to the church
the General Board OF Church extern
sion having agreed to accept Libert,
Bonds in payment Of the obligation.
So that now that the deferred pay
