During the summer months the committee furnished leaders for the church night services. The brother- hood committee have sent flowers to cheer many sick members and their calls on men shut in have been a source of pleasure to many.

At the annual meeting held Febru- 10, 1914, the committee on h\dldlng‘s and grounds submitted plans drawn by W. P. Crabtree for an addi- tion to the home, and were instructed to obtain bids for its construction. On March 18, 1914, the bids were opened and John W. Allen & Co., on tuilding, and Parker & O’Connor, on heating, being the lowest bidders, it was voted by the managers: “That W. L. Hatch, H. D, Humphrey, and Ii. B. Eddy be and are hereby author- ized in behalf of the trustees of the | Erwin Home to sign a contract not to exceed $14,000 for the erection of an addition to the home.” At a later meeting of the trustees the contracts were approved and signed by the building committee, and the work was commenced on March , 1914, At a meeting held November 25th, 1914, the Secretary of the building committee reported that the building was completed and accepted, the cost being as follows: Contract of John W. & Son Extras Contract O'Connor Spring & company, fixtures, etc. Allen .$12,070.00 117. electric Total Cost, $13,225.75H It is worthy of note that the build- ing was constructed for less than the appropriation. The new building is a substantial three story brick structure, there be- each on the first and second floors consisting of a sitting room with bed-room adjoin- ing and .also a small space for ‘use as a kitchen. There are bath and toilet rooms on each floor. floor there are two suites of rooms consisting of a sitting room and two bed-rooms—capable of accommodat- ing two persons each—making room in the entire new part for twelve per- sons.

At the begin- ning of the year there were 988 men- ' church bers, an i the crease of fifty-three The fifty-two, over | preceding year. past year saw an increase of making the total 1,040. by W. G church, at the annual last evening in the chapel. One of the features in the growth of membership attributed to the work of Rev. H. W. Maier, the pastor, since he assumed charge almost eight years ago, is the increase in the number of men. While the membership now consists of 685 women and 415 men, the difference was far 'greater some vears ago and has gradually been re- duced. This year the membership of the men was increased by thirty-two, compared to twenty women and last year thirty-five men were added and eighteen women. Financially the church was also cessful. The most interesting ture of Treasurer P. B. Stanley's port was the fact that the last year totalled $3.442.19, wh was within $30 of being the largest amount received in this manner in e history of the church. Rev. Maier, although expre satisfaction with the result of present system of pledging suggestcd a method of more efficiently canv sing the members of the congregatio He asked the members to consider s plan of having a visiting squad of about a hundred call on the different families. Rev. Maier also asked that each one of the squad to be responsi-- ble for the pledges of two or three . Maier also saked that E: having the seats in the church absolutely free be considere: Postpone Election of Deacon. One if the interesting matters of business scheduled to come before the annual meeting was the election of a deacon to succeed A. Tyson Hancock, whose term expired and who, ac- cording to the order of procedure, is note eligible for one year. The result of an informal ballot without nomina- tion gave Herbert D. Litchfield a plurality of the votes cast. Mr. Litch- field, however, announced that he could not accept the office and it wias voted to postpone the election of a deacon until the regular prayer meet- ing two weeks hence. The report of the nominating com- mittee, consisting of E. C. Goodwin, Dr. F. W. Peck, and H. S. Blake, did not change the officers, except that A. Tyson Hancock was made a mem- ber of the standing committee for three vedrs. The report was approved and adopted-as follow Clerk and Register- erford Corresponding Secretary—Miss Jen- nie .. Haugh.

That which left for the pastor is series of pressions rst in regard to the lic services. The ‘Go to Church Sun- day’ made an impression on the city and also created an added interest in the regular services of the church. There has been a healthy increase in the membership of the church and all the societies are in active opera- tion “The Sunday taken care intendent ations of is im- pub- a has been well by the efficient super- Certain phases of the work have been enthusiastically car- ried forward A cradle roll of the children too young for membership in the regular school has been carefully organized. The senior Bible classe have shown a marked increase of in- tecrest, some of these are having the largest attendance of their history. ‘There have been some new fea- s to the year's work. The to Church Sund has already been mentioned, The ‘Every Member Canvass” worked a double result; it increased the resources of the church and the mission work and it also cre- ated a new sense of fellowship. The Vacation school revealed that there is much that could be done for the chil- dren during the summer months. And the religious canvass of the city 1e- vealed to us the large opportunitie. that are open to us to do service for individuals in the city finds that with each he is called upon to do more in the community life, and large oppo tunity is given fer community ser vice. The pastor has made the usual number of calls. He has given all the time he could to this work. He has officiated at thirty-four funerals and sixteen weddings. A phase of work reported elsewhere should be men- tioned here. It has to do with the charities of the church. Through (hs‘ generosity of individuals the pastc and hi istants do much for the poor. More thar forty Thanksgiving dinners were sent out: and all through t year the pastor and his assistants do in a quiet way that which has helped much f “There is much that might be said (in regard to the hearty co-operation of the church with its pastor in the work. Some one remarked that all that Mr. Maier has to do with the Bible class is to say what he would like and they see that it is done. This might have heen s=aid of the whole church, and this hearty co- operation has made the work of the year a pleasure and a delight. “HENRY W.

The following report the assistant pastor: “The first thing to inquire one speaks of work done i1 to has there been any progress? assistant pastor believes that has been. The Sunday schools shows | a larger cnrollment than for some | time past, and there is a constant tendency to greater regularity of tendance. The indications of all the | other work point to progress | “‘One important facter in the regn- larity of the pupil in the Sunds school has been the work of the cli sification secretary in following up closely those absent three consecutive Sundays. The splendid growth of the cradle roll under the leadership o Miss Mary Whittlesey from fourteen | to 142 is another important * factor. | The zeal of every teacher in following up closely every absentee has greatly strengthened the school ““The school has made an added ef- fort to care for the needs of the pu- pils. Last fall the problem of a hap- py disposition of four classes of older | girls was agreeably solved by affilia- | tion with the Philathea class, th vs‘ sitrengthening all and pointing the way for future plans of graduation The Christmas party was repeated this year with more present than last | yvear. During the summer it deemed wise to have a Sunday school | pienic.

That is a much abused term, but nevertheless it has been one of the important alms of the year to make our school efficient in actual work accomplished. One of the strongest attacks made against Sunday schools in general is that they are not schools at all, merely child- ren's services. We are working dhrn- estly to promote the worship side of the lives of our young people. But we are working equally as much to really teach something definite. “One of the first steps in that direc- tion was the establishment last vear of the Round Table meetings for workers from which so much that has marked progress in the school arisen. They have continued profit- able this year. We have two success- ful training classes, one consisting of cight boys and the other of five girle. They have just recently taken ‘he interrational examinations over one of the text books completed. We l!nd more teachers in attendance &t I ihe State Sunday school convention. Within the year a missionary commit- tee has been organized within the | “chool which has charge of the In- «truction of the schools in all cndeavor.

There are other plans of work for the young men of our church under consideratton for the coming vear which we belicve | | will materially improve the whole | | effort to reach young men the | | church { ““Ag to plans for the year T may say that much that we have under- taken is at the present time so im- ! mature that it will take the preAsnt vear to realize the fruits. Suffice | it to say that aside from the work al- ready described, there will be in ad- dition an effort to rebuild our library to a point of efficiency, and that we | have hopes that a work for girls may be undertaken similar to that for boys which shall tak care of the expres- sional side of the life of our girls. “The vear was a prosperous one for the school but we are expecting great- | er things for the year ahead of us.” ELMER T.
