BUSINESS MEETING OF
CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH
Shows Good Growth and Is in Good
Financial Condition.-lncrease
Minister'S Salary.

The most enthusiastic meeting in
years took place at the Congregation
al parsonage last Friday night. The
only regret was that the limited space
made it necessary to limit the atten-
dance to the members of the church
and the Aid. As it was the people
filled the whole lower floor, being
served at two long tables, in the X
cellent fashion for which the Ladies'
| Aid is famous.
After the banquet the annual bus
mess meeting of the church was held,
about the tables. The more serious
parts were interspersed with music by
the Plymouth quartet, a reading by
Miss Stratton and a recitation by Mar
ion Lucille Reece. All numbers were
up to their usual standard of excel
lence.
Reports were given by officers of
the church and Sunday school, the lat
ter by Mrs. R. H. Comport, the YER
satile superintendent. The skill with
which Prof. D. S" Williams presided
as moderator added greatly to the in
terest of the meeting.
Most notable of all reports vas that
of the church treasurer, Mr.. B. P.
Langen. On behalf of the board of
trustees, of which A. N. Peterson is
the efficient and untiring chairman,
he made the following statement: The
accumulated small debts of a year ago
aggregating more than the amount
subscribed for the pastors salary have
during the year been paid to the last
dollar. Also the salary to the end of
the year has been paid in full.
In view of these facts and consid-
ering the increased cost of living, the
trustees recommended that 5000 a
year be added to the salary as a slight
token of the church's appreciation Of
Rev. Henry's work the past year. The
vote of approval "a heartily in the
affirmative, both for the work of the
trustees and for the pastor.
Rev. Henry then made his annual
report. Among other things, he thank.
ed the lei of the congregation fol
their generous cooperation in a year
of hard times, mentioning also the
above salary increase and speaking OF
the anonymous Christmas gift of q
dollar for each year Of the century
He also thanked the Ladies' Aid TO,
their unfailing assistance in every de.
partment, calling attention to then
holiday gift to Mrs. Henry of a Ply
rex dish and holder.
The Sunday school workers and the
choir came in for their share of com
mendation. Mr.. Henry stated that il
nearly two decades of church work ir
larger and smaller congregations hi
had never had such loyal and enthus
iastic support.
A vote of approval was given t.
the experiment of holding union Sun
day school and church services will
the Christian church, and the hope wa!
expressed that after the winters &C
quaintance it might be found possible
to make the temporary arrangement
permanent.

Four more names have been added
to the list of contributors to the Red
Cross Acre movement inaugurated last
spring through the efforts of the Wo-
mans Patriotic Association. After
this plan was adopted it was not
thought that it would be possible to
CLEAN the harvest which has been
gathered owing to the unfavorable
season, but the pledgers have been
most loyal, and in many instances
have responded even when the crop
from the acre pledged was a failure.
