have a deficit of $1000.00 by the end of the year.

This is surely a

matter that deserves our most earnest and immediate attention.;

Mr. Alex. Mathieson brought before the Board the matter Jon-

cerning the different Church notices of the week which are reid by our

Pastors each Sunday, and asked if some simpler method could nbt be

worked out.

After some discussion the Board appointed Alex.,Mathieson
