To the Generous Public the following Appeal is made: The Bethel A. M. E. church and parsonage, of West Vermont street, Indianapolis, has had a standing debt since 1871 of $5,000 at least, at ten per cent, interest; to pay this enormous interest has cost the church $4,500 at leat, which has caused the debt to become chronic. To remove this debt we want to borrow $5,000 at six or 6even per cent, for three years, in three installments. Also, we want a liberal donation from all to assist us. Our members and congregation have given $500 in cash and subscription this winter. We appeal to you to help us clear our church of debt. Kev. W. C.
