Financial reports were not com

indications were, that the year would
-result in increased givings, with the
mission. allocation again beng over
subscribed. It is not an uncommon
occurrence for the Presbyterian con
gregation to oversubscribe this al
location and it is an interesting fac|^-^
that during the -ten-year pastorate
of Rev. C. H. MacDonaldy-'fhis con
gregation has raisjyP'more for mis
