After the business meeting a fine cantata was given by the Barkley and Newland Sunday schools, which was enjoyed by all. There is likely ito be some change in the Barkley circuit the coming year. The talk now is of putting Lee, MoCoysburg and Milroy on a circuit by themselves and supporting these points with a student preacher every week from Evanston, 111., instead of every two weeks. This change would probably raise the salary at this point $25, but that should be no barrier in the way of double the service we have been having.
