Rev. Mr. Stackhouse read a report of the financial standing of the
church showing a debt of $20,000.00 on all church properties,
including organ, parsonage, etc. $10,000.00 of this is provided for
by life insurance policies, maturing Dec. 31st. The committee having
in charge this celebration thought this a fitting time to provide
for the balance of $10,000.00 and deliver the church property from
all incumbrances. The plan adopted was to ask for pledges for the
amount to be paid half yearly for the next five years.
