Mr. Crafts from the Ways and Means Committee adopted the following report which was unanimously adopted.

The Ways and Means Committee report that they have made a thorough canvas of every source for raising the amount necessary to sustain the Church for the rest of the year and have only raised $12.00 in actual subscription, but may get $100 more through Rev. Chaney assistance. Even with the latter amount included we shall be $675.00 in debt at the end of the year and we recommend that it is only just to advise our Pastor of own standing so that he may govern his future accordingly.
