SUNDAY DEFICIT

"Tin-panning" will continue at the
tabernacle until that $4,000 deficit on
the So, 900 trail-hitting bill has been
made good.
This was the ultimatum delivered
today through John c. Let's, treasurer
OF the Sunday campaign committee.
Mr.. Let's said that the $4,000 check
from the Y. ". c. A. in return for the
use OF the tabernacle after the cam
paign is over, will be added today to
the campaign Golfers. but that despite
this $4,000 will still be needed to
square accounts. In other words, Mr..
Let's said, that were 1t not for this
Y. N. c. A. check, the total deficit
to date would be 500 900 instead Of
$4,000.
Arrangements have been completed
for the transference of the tabernacle
