Annual Congregational Meeting Presbyterian ChurchJApril 24th Year Closed One of Splendid Progress The Unionlast week gavea brief account of the annual meetingiOf the Presbyterianjcongregatian held at the church Wednesday evening, April 24th, and followed by a reception at the Manse.

The year just closed was one of the very best in the history ofthe congregation and may be attributed to the splendid organization, with every department of work thoroughly organized and under efficient leadership. Some of the good features contributing to the success achieved: An up-to-date Sunday School at high water mark in point of numbers and efficiency. Graded lessons are used insofar as they have been prepared by the International Sunday School committee. An exceptional number of men have enlisted in the work of the church and Sunday School. A good orchestra composed of members of the Humboldt Band assists at the evening services.

About fifty men are enrolled in a Business Men's Bible class under the-able leadership of Mr. J. L. Shellman. The Rev.

J. M. Todd's faithful and untiring work as pastorof the church recognized and appreciated by the entire congregation. The increase in the membership of the church has been satisfactory and in every way a new year is most favorably begun; pastor's report The Howe Millinery. Mr.

J. A. Waugh and family, who past year. Your healthy growth should indeed be a cause for thanksgiving to God for his blessing upon our labors together. "Financially the year has also been most encouraging.

And in this connection I desire to commend tbe budget system, and all who helped to make it a success. Notwithstanding the closeness of money, due to the unsettled industri-' al condition, you have raised more money for the work of the church than ever before. For this splendid growth in the grace of Christian giving, I most cordially commend you, and pray God's richest blessing to rest upon all who are trying to fulfill the divinely appointed stewardship. The general financial condition of the country is good. Our local banks show larger general deposits than ever before, and our church is in splendid condition.

For all of which we should thank God and take courage. Let us all by our combined efforts see to it that this year upon "which we are just entering shall be a worthy successor to the one gone by, and that it, too, may leave its record of triumph and achievement." Mr. J. C. Story, who took Mr.

H. C. Shipley of the Kansas Ly Made at the annual congregational meeting April 24th, 1912: "The reports from the heads of the different departments show the condition of your church to be most encouraging. All of the work has been of the highest character, and the spirit of peace and harmony have prevailed. "A comparison withj the records of the church for the past ten years shows that the year just closed has been the most successful of all.

During the past year you have received a very substantial increase in your membership. While statistics, as published by the Christian Advocate, show that the net increase in membership in all Christian churches in the United States for the last year was less than 1.7 per cent, your church has increased more than 7 per cent. In other words," your church'enjoyed an increase duringlthe last year more than four times as great; as the average of The Howe Millinery ceum and Chautauqua Association was here early in the week and made a pret ty thorough canvass of the city for a oi ine traveling men interviewed say that business here is gradually picking six-number lyceum course to be given during the fall and winter months.
