Interesting Talks
Thursday, November- 12.
Mr. Edwards states that he is
highly gratified at the aceampliah-
menta of the year’s work. The
Sunday School has been completely
reorganized aad thoroughly depart-
mentalised. The mass o\ the mem-
bership has responded in a pleasing
way to n thorough going Methodist
program, he says, and the congre-
gations have bee* large throughout
the year. There have been fifty
six additions to.tne church, twenty
six of whom hake been received on
profession of fsith, and practically
all of these have been received at
the regular Sunday morning ser-
vice*. In-the fare of one of the
tteet economic depressions of

of the Central Texas Conference
to make inch a' record.

Property Owners
Paying School Tax
The request recently made for all
taxpayers to pay their school1 taxes
ra soon as possible has met with a
gratifying response, a large number
having already met this obligation.
Early payment of taxes means a
groat saving to the school funds,
eliminating the necessity for borrow-
ing nidhty to meet current expenses,
and it is urged that all property?
owners make their tax payments as
soon1 ra possible. ’■
