as his guest Congregational Sunday
school boy or any other boy who is not
connected with az other Sunday
school. One or two members have
boys in other Sunday schools, these of
course viii come with their fathers
as guests. We feel that we are able
to care for every boy in the commun-
ity who is not already being cared for
by other churches. Our mems organ
ization is coming along nicely. Every
meeting new members come in. Last
Sunday FIVE joined us. The member
now is 81.
