PREsBYTERIANs WILL TITHE

The Presbyterians are enlisting
tithers this month in the Presbyterian
progressive program. Great things
are expected thruout the whole de-
nomination next Sunday. Rev. E. d.
Brownlee, synodical manager. writes
Mr.. L. M. Murray, congregational
manager of the local church, that the
Sanford Presbyterians have already
made great strides before the ap-
pointed day Ninety-two have been
enrolled in that church. The pastor
and every elder and deacon enrolled
themselves before speaking to any
body else. The people of Sanford are
considerably stirred by this movement
in the Presbyterian church. especially
SO. because of the prominence of
many of the tithers. Among some of
them are the chairman of the board
OF county commissioners. the mayor
of the city. the president of the
board of trade. the editor of the local
paper, the president of one bank and
the vice president of another. several
directors in the banks, a number of
prominent merchants and vegetable
growers.
The Presbyterians are studying
Malachia 3:8-10 with renewed atten-
ton. The local Presbyterian church
is in the Presbyterian progressive
program to the limit. 1t is hoped that
the standard set by Sanford will be
realized not only in our own town,
but in all the Presbyterian churches
of the denomination.
