Their primary aim was to aid toward a better com- pensation of an organist, whom they have paid $150 a week since and to aid toward any deficit toward the end of the year. The past year they have had 7 members; 15 meetings, 14 func- tions with receipts of $196. The two former years were about the same in receipts, making for the three years some $600 used for the work of the church. Men's Club. A Men's Club of about forty mem- bers has for some years assumed the cost of the coal for the church. This together with some help toward im- provements have called forth an ex- penditure of $200 a year. Alpha Club for young men did fine work for two years but owing to the removal of several leaders had merged its activity with that of the Epworth formed into patrols of Boy Scouts. The young ladies have a Queen Esther Cir- cle of ten members that is doing fine in Home Mission work, having raised some $31 for that purpose this year. The younger girls have an organiza- tion of like nature, The White Guards, which under the leadership of Miss Anna Batty, are doing fine work. Epworth League. The Epworth League is an import- ant factor. It maintains a devotional meeting averaging thirty or more, with an increasing interest on the part of the young men and women. It has a gmembership of sixty and aids materially in many ways of the church. The Juniors meet Friday afternoon with the pastor. Number enroled about fifty with an attendance of more than half that number. Jjt is an im- portant part of our activity. Sunday School Growth. The Sunday school as the nursery of the church has shown some growth but not in promortion of the other parts of the church. The most im- portant part, the primary, is seriously handicapped for the want of room and the early finishing of another room will be the best investment the church can make. We have some three hun- dred on our roll in all departments. Current expenses this year were $147, receipts § balance in_treasury $23. Paid for missions and Sunday school F. €ross and Mrs. Chas.

Mr. Brown introduced tractors on the farm last season and the great amount of work he was able to do with them has re- sulted in popularizing them to such an extent in this section, where they have been little known in actual service, that they are now to be found on quite a few farms, and numerous additional ones are to be put into service this Powerful season. Mr. Brown's new tractor is a me- chanical marvel. He purchased it af- ter a thorough investigation of the tractor subject. He can use it for plowing and many other kinds of reg- ular farm work, for driving _stone crushers, wood-sawing machines, etc., and is also to put it into service haul- ing _trailers, loaded with crushed stone, to Danielson, the machine being able to haul as much as eight tons.
