First Call for 1912: This is to remind 8
you that we are now ready to receive 1
your first Installment to the Chandler c
Building Fund for 1912. a
During the year 1911, a splendid work e
was accomplished through the small
contribution made to this cause. Four d
weak and struggling congregations 1
were aided In the erection of their o
churches. $823.75 was received and c
$795.90 was disbursed. *
This splendid work was done with 1
a subscription list of less than three a
hundred members. This record serves a
to show what a few can do contrlbut- u
ing the small sum of three dollars each, d
This also should remind us keenly of v
what one thousand subscribers can do
In the year 1912. With the membership
of over sixteen thousand, Is It
unreasonable to expect that one out of
every sixteen is Interested In the church h
building and manse erection fund of \
the Synod? One thousand subscribers p
for 1912, instead of aiding four church- c
es. this will make It possible for the t

ha Synod giving $823.00 to this work
>2,000.00 can be used in this worthy

terian church of thiB city. Hyde Park
is not financially self-supporting, but
is rapidly becoming such. The various
organizations, however, are entirely
controlled and conducted by its own
ofiicers and members. The present
pastor is Rev. B. B. Winter, who is
entering upon hiB second year of service.
This church has lost by removal
and death over one hundred
members; its present membership is
107, with thirty-nine baptized children.
They have a nice church building and
manse, both valued at about $6,500 and
fully paid for, lacking $100. Conditions
were most unfavorable for our meeting?snow,
rain and mud, but the members
and friends would not suffer themselves
to be hindered and there was
increasing attendance and interest.
Twenty-three members were received,
all of whom were adults except five; of
these twelve were heads of families and
represented seven new families received
into the church. Ten children were
baptized and enrolled. A number
pledged themselves to more consecrated
lives and some promised to erect
family altars. Some declared their
purpose of uniting with other churches.
The sum of $43.70 was given for
Synod's Home Mission work and $15 for
incidentals. My next appointment is at
