Here is a summary of what has been done by the Every Member Canvass: Total number of pledges, 232; 209 weekly, 2 monthly, and ' 21 yearly, pledging a total amount of $1911.58, for current expenses, and $230.88 for ben- evolences. Countinf sources of in- come outside of this system the bud- get of $2925.80, will undoubtedly be reached. The canvass has resulted, apart from the financial returns, in an increased interest in church work. During the month of April the aver- age attendance at church services has been: Sunday morning, 125, with the largest number 1660, the smallest 65 Sunday evening 182, the largest num- ber present being 309 and the smallest 72; the midweek service, 37, largest number 52, smallest 30; Sunday school, 134, largest number 161, smallest 91. Rev. F. Stewart Kinley, pastor of the First Baptist church, made a re- port at the Sunday morning service, in which he said: It is a matter of re- gret that death has gathered such a harvest and that sorrow has been the Iot of so many homes. The pastor bas conducted 28 funerals and assisted at two. Of the total, 13 were members of the church. During the year two of our non-resident members have died_and had funeral services else- wWhere. The additions to our membership have been small{ but the truth is we have more peoplé, on our church books than we are giving proper attention. It is a poor policy to go gathering sheep for a fold that is insecure. Our first attention must be the mending of the breaches, or the making of our church life so strong that those who come to us may be held by the irre- sistible force of the Divine Spirit. To the end that this may come the de- mand is for prayer, personal work, and in_every way a service of sacri- fice. While the church is the place to receive help, it is primarily the place to give help, and “We that are strong cught to bear the infirmities of weak and not to please ourselves. Your minister has made 553 calis, delivered 94 sermons in our own pul- pit, and 24 sermons and addresses out- side the bounds of the parish; he has missed one praver meeting through illness. There was but one week dur- ing the year without a prayer meeting. The Covenant meeting has met with little support. Under the conditions which have prevailed throughout the greater part of the year we might make better use of our timi It is a matter for the church to consider. One of the greatest signs of prom- ise is the response to the Every Mem- ber Canvass. This year there will be a biennial vote in Rhode Island on the liquor li- cense question, and the Rhode Island Anti-Saloon League, with a branch in Westerly, plans to lead in a special education plan, substantially as fol- lows: The object is to unify and make ef- fective all the forces. The immediate aim is to secure as large a no-license vote as possible, and the ultimate aim is to prepare the state for national prohibition. The plan contemplates enlisting stors, Sunday schools, men’s classes, women’s and children's clubs in various activitfes. In the Sunday schools it is design- ed that once each month ten minutes be given to presenting certain strik- ing facts, with the poster: the writing of a story bv pupils based on these facts the enlistmert ae far as possle m and End| Rally and Social at First Baptist Church Tonight—Test of men’s Pay—Board of Trade Plans Reception to Student Battalion From State College—Mrs. Everett C.

The woman told the court that she had been visit- ing for several weeks at the home of Victoria Gardner, colored, and night, had been in ccmpany with Mrs. Gardner’s coal black son, Wil- lia deville comedian, left her several years ago with four children, now in Woonsocket, the oldest being thirteen and the youngest five years of age.

The chief learned that the woman and I'three black men ware seen walking down the raflroad track. Chief Brown followed the trial and di: campfire on the river bank in the rear of the Gordon Cottrell farm, an@ there he found the woman and her four black companions. He took the wom- an and her chief consort, William Gardner, and lodged complaint, charg- ing them both with being lewd, wan- ton and luscovious persons in speech and behaviour.
