Notes.
All departments of work in the
Guthrie church arc having a healthy
growth. The attendance at regular
services of the church are on the in-
crease. We had the largest Sunday
morning audience yesterday so far j
seen in the church since the beginning
of the present pastorate.
Our Sunday school is especially en-
couraging. During the month of Jan-
uary we enrolled 51 new scholars, and
so far through February 35 new names
have teen placed on the roll. The at-
tendance has almost doubled. We
hope to pass the 200 mark in attend-
ance in the near future.
The jtastor of the church is also
superintendant of the Sunday school,
and has been during the new year. I
must say that I very greatly en joy this
work. It keeps ones heart young to
work with children. I would much
