Last Sunday was a memorable day
in the history of the Harrington NJ
E. Church, when the last payment
was made on the debt for the addi-
tiOn that was built in 1929, for the
use of the Church School and other
erected at an approximate cost of
$4,000, including the equipment and
furnishings. When it was dedicated
in October 1929 there remained a
debt OF $4,000 which was owed to a
local bank. A plan was adopted by
which the deDt has been paid; the |
second Sunday of each month was
known as Mark Up Day. when the Z
entire offering in the Church School |
was to be used for the reduction of |
the debt. Every month the Ladies |
Aid Society asked for donations with |
which they paid as the interest as it |
came due. Sunday the last offering |
was made for this purpose, and il |
exceeded the requirements by more !
than $4,000. The building is known
as the E. II. Collins Educational |
Building, named in honor Of Rev,
E. II. Collins OF Marshaliton, Del, 7
who was pastor of the church from
1924 to 1894 II was he who pro-
posed the plan of the monthly Mark
up Sundays. The Church School
Board has decided to continue these
special days and use the money as
a maintenance fund for repairs as
they are needed On October 1874

till under several inches of water. I
Three or four lots along the East
ide of Dorman street are flooded c
With over a foot of water. These
OTIS are lower than the street level =
