is now 1619 Broadway. The cause of
this was at once a misfortune and an
opportunity. Tho misfortune was in the
fact that the house he was occupying
was destroyed by fire, and the opportunity
was in the fact that the people of
the church showed their loving sympathy
and generosity most freely, in bringing
many gifts to the pastor and his family,
as well as in offering their homes for a
refuge.

has paid the last money due on the organ,
which cost $3,400. In addition they
have given $1,042 to other objects, making
a total of $4,442 raised in three years.
The people are much encouraged at the
progressive work of this church. The Baraca
class has increased in numbers so
much that they have recently been forced
to give up the room they have been
using for the past four or five years and
take tho pastor's study for the Sunday
morning lesson. Plans are now under
way to build a new room 30x30 which
will be divided by folding doors, the Baracas
to use one side and the Philatheas
the other side. The church will then
have ample room for a class of seventyfive
members. One of these young men
goes to Columbia, S. C., for a course at
the theological seminary. The class has
an enrollment of forty-three, with Mrs.
E. D. Davis as teacher.
Savannah: The first Communion service
of tho new year was held in the First
Presbyterian church. Savannah, Ga., on
the second Sabbath of January and nineteen
names announced of members received
since the October communion.
During this time a new heating plant has
been installed which had ample opportunity
to prove its worth on two Sabbaths
of as cold weather as is ever seen
in Savannah, and the church was comfortable
throughout. The small choirbox
has also been removed and a large
terraced choir-loft that will accommodate
thirty singers, put in at a cost of about
$300, with a solid brass railing running
from lower step to lower step and giving
the choir-loft and pulpit a very handsome
appearance. The regular quartet
is retained but about twenty-five additional
voices added under the leadership
of another paid singer, and their combined
work is of high order and renders
effectivo service. At the regular quarterly
joint meeting of the elders and deacons
on January 7, it was decided to take
a forward movement in all the beneficent
tttusua u> appointing tniee elders to
study these causes, take subscriptions
for them throughout the congregation at
the beginning of each calendar year just
as is done for the current or local expenses
of the church at the beginning of
the ecclesiastical year and to see to the
regular collection of same at the times
appointed for the offering. This will increase
the offerings to all causes. The
card used gives the name of the cause,
amount asked from the entire church,
the date of taking it in the First church,
and leaves blank the space for the subscriber
to enter the amount to be eiven
at that time. Several of our members
hope to attend the Missionary Convention
in Macon.
