the year 1914 when the present

The growth of this church has not
been rapid but some gains hnve been

perous with a net gain of 31. In
1918 twenty were received and in
1930 there were 23 additions The

time. He has guided the deipny of
the church through many trials and
always prod himself faithful to his
