Sainte Genevieve: This Church was organized
by a commission of Potosl
Presbytery, October 19, 1902 with thirteen
members, two ruling elders and one
deacon. Soon after the organization
steps were taken to build a house of
worship and a lot centrally located was
purchased at a cost of three hundred
dollars. The members, though few in
number, prosecuted the work with great
zeal and perseverence so that it was
ready for occupancy sometime in 1905 at
a cost, including the lot, of $3,202, of
which Potosl Presbytery appropriated
about $775. The edifice is of brick on
a stone foundation, of semi Gothic architecture
and has a seating capacity of two
hundred and fifty. On Sunday, June 27,
1909, this Church was dedicated with appropriate
and impressive services, conducted
by Rev. A. Kistler, of Cape
Girardeau. This Church had its origin
in a Sunday-school and has been well
sustained with an average attendance of
about thirty-five scholars. On January 1,
1905, Rev. C. H. Talbot, of Festus, Mo.,
preached one Sunday a month for nineteen
months when he resigned to devote
his Whole time to the Ohiirrh at TTooJ-tio
Rev. L. V. Cobb took charge in May, 1908,
preaching with great acceptance until
the eighteenth of April last; when his career
of usefulness, embracing five years,
was suddenly ended by his death. As
yet no successor to him has been found.
However, notwithstanding its reverses,
the outlook is very encouraging for as
John Wesley said, "God buries the workmen
and carries on the work." Trusting
in Him the members can not fail in
the work which thus far they have so
faithfully prosecuted. H."

appreciate any financial help that our
friends will send us for this purpose. We
need to buy religious literature and pay
the traveling and boarding expenses of
all the ministers, rent of tents and many
other items, so we need to extend the
privilege of contributing to a good
cause, to the friends of the Mexican
work. Send your contributions to Rev.
