ST. PAUL A. M. E. CHURCH NOTES.
The great pendulum of time which
has moved up so often during the past

two thousand dollar mark in the spring

was laid upon the table. At present
$2,5l5.OO has been paid into the treas
ury. The payment on the principle
will be met on the first day of June.
DR.. Brit. goes to the General conference
next month at st. Louis, Mo-, with no
fear of the future, no regret for the
past, satisfied.

women, boys and girls and friends far
