interesting comments by Col John
F.. Bruton, and at the conclusion of
this statement, Rev. F. S. Love made
a eloquent plea for the new Sunday
school building which is to be erect
ed on the lot in front OF the church,
and (which will cost around $4,000.
He announced that this amount was
small indeed for the church to
raise, and that it would be raised.
The official board of the church has
announced that it would guarantee
40 per cent of the amou t, and that
this would leave only sixty per cent
; for the balance to raise.
The services were made more i'm

He thanked the board for their re-
marks of approval. and said that he
should do all in his power to make
their. work easy and effectual.
He said that the Wilson church is
catching vision of big things, for
it purposed next year to erect at a
cost of $65,OO0 the new Sunday
school building on the corner lot op-
posite the church. The board of
stewards announced they would guar
antee forty per cent of the money to
erect the building.
DR.. Love stated that the Sunday
school room was badly needed That
the building would contain an audi
torium of sufficient size to seat SIS
with a class room of a seating capac-
rapidly growing and the building is
a necessity.
Dr. Love stated that the opinion
prevailed among some that a larger
church is needed. That is true said
he, but if we are to choose between
a church and a Sunday school, then
let us by all means bave the Sun
day school and thus provide for the
children.
DR.. Love stated that the world is
passing through new and different
era from what it has ever before
been. 1t is being recreated and re.
generated as it were and the church
must be ready to meet this situation
with all its force and influence. He
felt that the Lord would take from
