for three years; J. r. Witworth and
Cecil r. Sentman. for two years,
and John T. Cavanaugh and Leon

After the meeting the new elders
met and requested the Rev. DR..
Webb to provide a clergyman for
the church for the month of Sep
tember, made arrangements TO open
the church the first Sunday in that
month and to keep 1t open until fur

the elders and will take charge i'm
