The services on Sunday morning
were largely attended, 1876 being
present in the Church School. The /
offering was about $500 to be ap-
piled to the Church School indebt- |
edness. While the new annex mas
been paid for, with an interesting
amount left over, the building COM
mittee is having an outside exit
from the basement put in. This
exit is a general requirement, I
believe.
