order for material and to secure a
workman to erect building. After the
business meeting, the District Super
intendent gave a short talk on current
events of church work.
The pastor, Rev. C. K. Dilks,
brought out many interesting points
in his written report. First, the adj
vantage of the strong choir at every
service, and he has the assurance of
its loyalty as soon as a permanent
organist is secured. At the recent
Official Board meeting, Rev. Dilks
showed the necessity of a church
building that can be used as a recrea-
ton centre for the young people.
Rev. Dilks has made 10 pastoral
calls during his short stay in Absecon.
His plan is to call first on the sick
and shut-ins. 1t is hoped that a new
building car be erected to be used as
a gym. for young; also a meeting
place for many other societies of the
church. Rev. Dilks spoke of many
church. A Boys Club that will func-
ton as an Ushers Union, a Girls Club
that can meet one a week, a church
and community night once a month.
when the church members would be
requested to invite their friends to
enjoy a social time with a good pro-
gram arranged. Rev. Dilks said his
duties are not only preaching on Sun
day and prayer meeting Wednesday
evening, but every day and evening
