During the past year there have been many encouraging features in »ur Church lite and work. To_the membership large additions have heen made, thus strengthening the oause. <A marked increase has also taken place in the Sunday School, overtaxing the availible accomnioda- tion, The most ' significant fact, Yowever, In our «xperience, is the rassment, notwithstanding the fact that we were greatly hampered last spring by extra .expense and loss through fire.
