After pay- ing all indebtedness, including $1,- 1539.80 for building repairs, the trea- | surer reported a surplus of $8.39. It | was also reported that the congrega- {tion had provided for the budget of 11920, which means a twenty-five per | cent, increase | in weekly offerings and also an increase in missionary givings. During the year the num- ber of families in the church was in- creased by nineteen and the com- municants by over sixty. The Sun- day school and all women's, girls' and young men's organizations re- ported increased givings and greater activity in their work. The question was raised regarding the discontinuance of the singing of the National Anthem at the morning service. Rev. Dr. Wilson stated that the session had decided this after due deliberation. Many returned soldiers had suggested its discontinuance. The regular singing of the anthem was regarded as a war measure. The anthem would be sung hereafter on all national occasions. Dr. Wilson al- so intimated that the churches in Scotland had discontinued singing the National Anthem immediately af- ter the armistice. Chalmers had sung it regularly until after the signing of peace. Notice of motion was given to have the church year énd on the 31st of December instead of the 31at of Janu- ary, and the meeting was adjourned until the 2nd of April in order. that this motion might be adopted and put into effect this year.
