Hurt An Irrigator
Never Buys
The Methodist church has de
eided to raise the balance of the j marines, aviators and former mem.
money needed for a new building.
This church is out of debt, ha*
a splendid new building site paid
for, and over $7000.00 in U. 8.
Bonds snd other gilt edge inter-
est bearing securities.
The church desires to rsise an
additional smouut of $23,000.00,
so as to build a $30,000.00 build-
ing.
At s called meeting last Thurs-
day night a committed was ap-
pointed to plan the oampaigu.
This plan was placed Before the
church conference last Sunday
morning and was unanimously ad-
opted.
The church, and especially the
Sunday school, has far outgrown
its present quarters. Some two
years ago the church began tr>
raise money, but were delayed be-
cause of the war. Now that vic-
tory has been achieved, the church
members feel that having done
their patriotic duty to the govern-
ment they can go ahead with their
church plans.
Having "rendered unto Ceasar
the things that are Ceasar's."
they will "render unto God the
things which are God's."
This seems to he an especially
fortunate time. The wheat crops,
and all other crops bid fair to be
the beat we have ever had. Ores*
is extrs good, snd cattle already
getting fat.
We arc told that help from
everyone will be gladly accepted.
Liberty Bonds and Victory bonds
will be received at par value.

plans of the Building Committee
