Rev. Mr.. Moore used as a theme
for his sermon on Sunday morning,
Life" His text being taken from
Romans 18th chapter, 7th and 8th
verses: For noe of us liveth to
himself, and no man dieth to him
self. For whether we live, we live
unto the Lord; and whether we die,
we die unto the Lord; whether we
live therefore, or die, we are the
Lords.
At a meeting of the official board
last week it was suggested that a
collection of two thousand dollars
be raisd on Sunday morning imme-
diately after the sermon. Senator

nation that the debt was for the in
stallation of a new heating plant
last winter and lot of repair work
during the present year, and asked
that the debt might be wiped of the
map, ma period of five minutes, his
request being complied with in very
nearl ythat space of time.
