ST. JAMES CHURCH NOTES
The big wind of last Monday
slowed the activities at st. James
during the first three days of the
past week. Street lights were out
for four days, and other lighting
services were difficult. This, how
ever did not entirely stop the
business Of bringing the edifice
to completion. Besides the finish
ing touches that are being made
on the interior and superstruc.
| ture, several smaller details were
completed.
The big program, that which
includes Rev. Frederic w. Fisher
and his group, carried on success
fully in spite of the handicap
Those who have not been fortu.
nate enough to hear the Reverend
have missed something Of lasting
benefit.
The Mr.. and Mrs. Club Is doing
a fine piece of work in their MUIR
sery project. Assuming the re.
sponsibility for the furnishing OF
the nursery, they will have II
completed within the next week
Most of the furnishings for the
nursery have already been pro
cured, including the Iinoleum. The
club will provide the required
nursing staff for the regular
church services. Incidentally, the
entire congregation of st. James
wishes to congratulate the newly
elected officers Of the club: Mr.
Martin Broolins, president; Mrs
L. e. Boyd, secretary; Mr.. Stew.
art KinkRid, treasurer.
