I found the church was in debt to the amount of 1-500 So you See with that debt on a church which bad been in debt for nine Or ten years was enough to cause me t» sink with sadness on my beaded knees to the Lord for help, and I believe that mv prayers have been answered thus fitr.

They at onoe went to work and our results have been grand thus far. • We at once designated the third Sunday in February as a grand rally day, and also an entertainment for Friday night the flowing week, and three ctnbs to report at a future date.
