Herbert   Your pastor is deeply appreciative of the splendid spirit of cooperation that has been manifested in the program of the church during the past year.  These have been testing times through which we have been passing, but the report your pastor will make at the Annuyal Conference on Tuesday, will reflect credit in a most splendid way upon a loyal, liberal and faithful church.  And most especially does he wish to thank you for every courtesy shown to him and the parsonage family during these two years. The Board of Stewards wish to heartily thank the members of Central Church for the splendid way in which they have responded to the financial program of the church this years.  However, we regret to announce a deficit of $450.00  The board is hopeful that the offerings received today and the contributions received before tomorrow night, when the books of the year will close, will enable our pastor to make a report in full at our Annual Conference on Tuesday.
