Remington Methodists Have Raised Over $12,000 for a New,Church. With the large attendance at all services at the Remington Methodist church on Easter Sunday came the definite assurance of a new church when announcement was made that the subscriptions had reached the amount of over $12,000. The day was an inspiration to everyone in attendance. The Sunday school attendance was 4 17, winning the contest over the Brook school with 385. The Easter offering here was $78.92.

At the evening service the house was crowded to the limit and people turned away who came to hear the cantata rendered by the choir. The building of the new church will go forward at once. The quarterly conference on Monday night appointed as building committee: W. L. Gumm, chairman, Chas. W. Brand, A. A. Fell, J. A. Washburn and (’. G. Galbreath. Plans were presented and considered but not accepted. Plans will be determined and offered for construction as soon as possible.—Remington Press.
