Rev. D. J. Givan, pastor. reports that
the church is closing the conference
year with enthusiasm. The Junior

-. 4
S. to the Students Undergraduate
Fund. Sunday School Glasses are
giving literally to the collections of
the church. Those taking part in this
good work need to be congratulated.
If the church used the duplex envel-
opes, which they should. it would
very much facilitate matters and
greatly increase the collections for
these good causes. The official board
takes the responsibility of meeting
the World Service and the benevo-
lences Of the church, and Of course
they will, one and all, work to this
end. The church is out of debt and
