/ With the coming in of Sunday thi.
conference year ends. practically. for
st. James A. M. 4. Church. Il might
be a good thing at this time to in.
ventory the years work to find out
| how we stand as a working uni
! 10" advancement in the community
and whether we have liquidated thu
years indebtedness MS standarc
bearers in the great christian army.
A year ago things looked rather
black for st. James. The church wa,
disorganized, chaos reigned and dense
clouds hung heavily over us spread
ing their contagion of gloom every
where. Some there were who haC
given up oil hope, writing persona
letters to the powers that be urging
the futility of further efforts to keeT
the old shin afloat. Topping all our
burdens was the discovery of the
double dealing of Rev. A. E. Lilies
pastor for last year.
That was the gloomv s. ock on hand
presented to Rev. s. L. Bailey at the
first church conference held upon his
arrival in Helena. 49,
As a financial unit, because OF
insurmountable reasons. we have ac-
complished very little. but from the
standpoint of community, social and
spiritual interests we have made re-
markable strides toward n fairer and
brighter future. To whom is this
outlook for better things for st.
Jsmes due?
The man who came to benefit st.
James, who rolled his sleeves, sub
ordinated his own interests that the
present cheerful aspect in the com
munity and church might obtain. Rev.
Bailey has begun a good work and
with reduced assessments, if he con-
tinues at the helm. the old, ship st.
James will yet be able to stem the
tide and make safe harbor.

HOUSE Rejects REQUEST FOR
CONOWINGO INQUIRY

Paul Berman's House resolution
for an investigation by the Legis-
lature of the Conowingo hydro
electric development was showed
under in the House of Delegates
Tuesday, by vote of 80 to 81, the
delegates dividing on party lines.
The matter came up on an adverse
report by the committee on rules, to
which it had been referred. Mr.
Berman moved to substitute the
resolution for the adverse report
and make both the special order for
next Thursday. He said the reso-
luton had not been printed and the

become familiar with it.

that the matter had been made the
principal issue by the Republican
party in the last State campaign and
that the voters had overwhelmingly
turned it down.

pouring has been under way several
monts from both ends. Actual con-
struction work was started last
