Jan. 2.?Officials hero apparently seem hopeful of the tendencies in the New Year dispatches from Great ^Britain regarding the war debts, although t hoy received thus far no com munication declaring the willing ness of the British government to approve the specially indulgent terms for France. The outlook became bright when officials were shown the story published in Lon don to the effect that Great Bri tain hail assured the United States that she would not stand in the way of the Franco-American set-: t lenient on terms more lenient than the Anglo-American agree ment. High officials of the State: Department, however, said that no such assurance had reached1 Washington either officially or unofficially. KKHOBOTII CHURCH NOW ON UP GRADE Adopts Budget System and Meets Increased Financial Obliga tions With K*m* Maple, Jan. 2.?The progress | and achievement* of the Kehohoth Baptist Church. Currituck Coun-( ty, during the six-month period ending with the close of the year , 1924. is quite remarkable when ;nlI things aro duly considered. With the coming of the new' ! pastor, the ltev. Charles A. Van derineulen, from Portsmouth, Vir glnla, to this field a half year ago ' ?In June, the Itehoboth Church i agreed to give a businesslike, on-' velopo system of church finance an honest try-out. and It tackled a current-expense budget of about 75 per cent more than the budget for any previous year in its his-1 lory. Today, after six months. the| church treasurer. Z. B. Taylor, re ports all current expense items, paid in full to date. But the un usual thing about It is that, as j Mr. Taylor declares enthusiastic-! ally, all the money "Just cam?* right In!" It was placed on the collections plates on Sundays or was handed the treasurer Hun- \ days. No person nor committees bad to go after ?"r I course, this is only as it should be; yet it is quite a new experl- j j enco even for the good Rehoboth Baptist? t i The new Ladles' Aid Society has experienced much success in this six-month period. Organized July 2f>, 1924, this band of wo rn* n lias been full of real. What It "touches" it turns to Vgold." It has raised considerable funds to date. It haB paid a considerable portion of the cost of the new piano. It has paid in full for the new church carpet, and for the. church's new lighting system. And it has done a lot of good work which cannot be estimated in val ue pecuniarily. On every preaching appoint-, ment the pastor faces a goodlv congregation which never fails rt> encourage with Its interest and attention ns well as with even its' numbers, the pastor asserts. And this holds good even in Inclement weather. i A successful revival meeting was held in the church last fall, i the pastor preaching; and the | church was considerably revived, with some strong membership ad-1 dltlons. As one result of the re-1 j cent Thanksgiving service, a su b stantlal donation was made the! orphanage. The young people have been organized for social i and religious purposes, with a B. | Y. I'.
