S55,OO0 Is Raised
For Building Fund
St. Paul's Methodist Church
Now Assured OF New Chill
dren's Building.

The st. Paul's Methodist Church
seven-day building fund campaign,
undertaken to raise funds with
which to build a new educational
and recreational building for the
children and young people of the
congregation, came to a close at a
supper meeting in the social hall of
the church last night.
When the last of the team cap
tains had turned in their reports, it
was found that a total of $4,000 had
been pledged, insuring the immediate
building of the new, and badly
needed, structure.
With several pledges still to be
received, it is expected that the total
will reach close to 100000
The amount raised by the approx
imately one hundred volunteer
workers represents the largest finan-
cial undertaking in the history of
st. Pauls; the next largest being the
$4,000 raised Sc years ago when the
present church was built.
The pastor of the church, Rev.
Norman L. Trott; the general chair
man for the campaign, DR.. p L. Rus
sell; the general chairman of solicit
tations, A. Harry Warne; and the
captains of the teams, all expressed
their appreciation of the fine work
done by the wheelhorses of the cam
paign-the 100 volunteer workers,
without whom would have been
impossible to bring the campaign to
such a successful close.
