learn of the budget system of the
church and parish through which the
committee is seeking to serve the
community by maintaining vital con-
tact with its entire constituency of
approximately of five hundred people
and to bring about a wider acceptance
of the privileges Of the church, the
canvassers will visit the Pensioners
so far as possible on Sunday after
noon, Dec. T. The cards will provide
opportunity for each person to reg
lister as weekly pledge for local work
and for beneYolence. During the
past year the parish has bought a
parsonage, the debt on which (S2399)
Is secured by the note of twenty-six
men of the parish. In the budget
therefore, provision Is made for a goal
of payment on the principal as we'll
as the interest. Further many have
expressed the desire of choir for the
morning worship. II all of this Is at
tended to, the scale of subscription
must be enlarged to correspond. It
goes without saying that this parish
will meet routine expenses. The
provisional budget includes the pas
tors salary, $1,000; payment on the
parsonage $500. interest $780, choir
$3.50; repairs. 800; fuel and care of
the church, $3.50; benevolent appor-
