For Church Improvement

The Ushers' Association of st.
Peters Lutheran Church, started
about two years ago by several young
men of the church, is doing splen-
did work. The number of members
now is about one hundred. At a
meeting some time ago a plan was
made to make extensive improve
ments to the parish house which ad-
joins the church. The plan was to
raise $4,000 by having each men,
Der of the church and friends con-
tributing $50, which could be paid in
four years at the rate OF 10 cents
week. The response Is very encour-
aging to them and to date nearly
900 has been turned in. Every
member OF the church living in Roy
alton and many friends in addition
is a subscriber to the parish house
improvement fund. Royalton has
gone over the top with a record OF
100 per cent. 1t is the plan to put
up building suitable for a Y. NJ. c.
