East Avenue has the larg est membership of any church in the Svnod. and of this we are proud,. And East Avenue has the best pastor in the Synod, and of this we are proud also. "We welcome all the delegates to our midst. We welcome all who come from the Presbytery represented in this meeting.

"In the name of this church, in the name of our pastor, and in the name of the Young People's Union I welcome you here." Miss Minnie Alexander of Hunters ville was the next speaker.
