The revenue had amounted ito £175. and the churoh debt had been completely wiped out by a bazaar which J had produced £82. There was now £53 ;in hand, with which to make furthor I improvements to the church buildings. J Thp chairman congratulated the memI hers on the successful year's work and j paid a tribute to the interest shown in I the church by the young people, who I had raised a considerable sum of money ito furnish their own classrooms besides j providing the church with an adequate I supply of Bibles and hymn books. I Special praise was due to Sirs. Hamer, who had raised £IfiO in small sums over; lan excluded period to clear of the I church debt.
