New Church Assured.
A New church for the Method
ist people of Plymouth seems tc
be assured within the near fut
ure. So far no drive for the pur
| pose has been made, but in i
■ quiet way our people have beer
thinking seriously about the mat
ter. and something more thar
j $10,000.00 has already been sub
' scribed for the purpose.
1 It i3 true the old church is com
jfortable and full large for re
gular church services, but it ii
totally inadequate in Sunday
school and social work accomoda
tion, which is today of vital im
portance to church work, and t(
provide for this a new buildinj
has become a necessity.
At present the building ir
mind is expected to cost approx
imately $25,000.00 or $30,000.0(
exclusive of organ, pews anc
other church furniture, and this
we undersigned the choir and
lady auxiliaries of the church
will undertake to provide.
With an approximate member
ship of three hundred this under
taking will be easy, provided
each mumber will make an ef
fort to this end.
Christmas Means Work.
Besides Joy To
People.
Christmas is a season of unalloyed
jo', to most everybody. The family
fireside never feels so warm as on the
great Natal D;»y we celebrate each
year. Rut while we are gathered in
the warmth of our home it will not
'hurt us to recall the bitter struggles
others have to make each year to in
sure our happiness and that of those
we love so well.
John Dickinson Sherman sounds an
unusual note on the Christmas holi
days in his article this week on an in
side page, when he tells of the cost of
a fall of snow to Uncle Sam's tireless
post office officials, and how men toil
thru long hours in the forests of the
Northern states gathering in the
Christmas trees that will gladden
mil'ions of homes.
Further along Mr Sherman touches
on the sacred joys of the home at this
l time of the year and then visualizes for
us what a wonderful world this would
be if the Christmas spirit could only
be kept alive in full power all through
the year.
It is an article that you will enjoy
reading and we take pleasure in offer
ing it to you
