Several weeks later Doc happened to be pass

dinner and stopped to see Dorothy.

he was waiting. for her.

In many instances in new
districts practically all the
labor necessary in building
new school huOses has been
donated by school patrons,
in order that the future of
the district might not be
clOuded by debt. In this
this way all school monies
have been kept free to be
spent for thte maintenance
OF schools rather than nee
essarily HAVING to be spent
for interest. This is fol-
lowing the practice of older
districts, for instance, No.

OF careful management and
cheerful cooperation has

In presenting Mr.. West, Mr..

glad to have him return as pre-

familiarity with the problems of
the local church and his ability to
be of assistance in working them
out and second, because he is

Mr.. West prefaced his sermon
on "The Supremacy of Jesus" by
remarking that he had come to
this church yesterday because he
wished to preach his first sermon
as presiding elder to congrega-

thing which he will not again be
able to do until he has been IN
