At a meeting held last Wednesday evening in the Congregational Church, reports read indicated that the church is in better condition from all angles than at any time in its history. The budget this your was the larg- est ever, all expenses have been pail to date and there is a neat surplusin the {re-usury. This was apparent from the report of the treasurer and from those who have the finances of the church in charge. The vacant lot, “east of the old church on Curtiss street, has been purchased by the Board. This gives the Congregationalists all fine frontage 0n Curtiss street and will give them enough room to finish their present structure, adding to it on the east, and also room for a parsonage. There is a balance in the building fund, with no debts and it is thought that it will not be long until plans for the enlargement of the present chuu-h “ill be necessary. Report of the membership com- mittee showed that forty-eight new members have been added to tho church roster in the first. half year. Those in charge of the Sunday School reported that an increase in the average attendance during the past six months of 50'} has been 1w corded over last year.
