Excellent Prospects for Presbyterian Church Progress
Members and friends of the Presbyterian church gathered to review yearly reports from church societies. Despite a summer gap without a regular pastor, growth appeared strong in membership and finances, with 18 new members admitted, multiple marriages, baptisms, and a productive Sunday school. The church moved toward self-sufficiency, ending the year with a reserve in the treasury and robust auxiliary activity led by the Indies and Bible classes. Officers retained, auditors chosen, and the board reorganized to oversee church properties. a spirit of fellowship continued after the fire, with renewed efforts toward future goals.
