BAPTETS. ORGANIZE
TO BUILD ADDITION
TO CHURCH NS.E.
Crowded Sunday School
Causes Demand for
More Room.

| avenue soutneast, are preparing TO
organize to enlarge the church
building.
Under the leadership of the new
PASTOR Rev. e. c. Primm, the Sun
day school has steadily grown until
there Is not available room for the
large classes. The present mem
bership of approximately $50 makes
1t necessary for many classes to
meet. in obscure corners of the
church. The main Sunday school
room will accommodate about $50
members comfortably.
Although no final action has been
taken, 1t is the intention to appoint
a COMMITTEES to study the situation
and draft plans.
The need for more adequate quar-
ters has been felt for several years
but 1t has been only since the new
pastor took up his duties in June
that sentiment for action has crys-
tallized.
According to the pastor there is
practically no opposition to the pro-
posed plans. The pastor, working
with ]. D. Nolhe. superintendent of
the Sunday school, and other church
officials, believes that necessary ac-
tion will be taken quickly.
1t Is thought the lot, measuring
approximately 20x20 feet in the rear
of the church building which would
be easily obtainable. is suitable for
the building extension. In connec-
tion with this suggestions have been
made to use a portion of the yard
in the rear of the parsonage for the
contemplated project.
