ary Conference March 20-23. On Sab
bath evening our Pastor Dr. Lathom
preached a fine sermon on "Missions in
the World Today." Tuesday evening it
was our privilege to hear Mr. and Mrs.
Kenneth Sanderson tell about our work
in Syria. On Wednesday evening Mr.
Chester Fox, Treasurer of the Foreign
Board, spoke on the problems con
fronting this part of our Church's work.
Questions by those present were asked
and answered by Mr. Fox. It was a
very
profitable evening. We felt that
this project was very much worth-while.

We wish to thank the following gen

for our church Building Fund: Mrs. J.
M. McDowell, Mrs. J. H. McBurney,

now have about $1,200.00 in our Build

sufficient funds to pay for the neces

quarters built to accommodate 150), so
we do need more room!
