have Mrs. Ernest H. Wray \\dth us, v;ife of our beloved Pastor in "whose
memory the Chapel v;as built. Surely God has blessed the opening of
_;.the Chapel and the days that have follo^ved have been days of enjoy
ment in its use. Our School also enjoys using it for daily Chapel.
There is still a debt on the Chapel of i.575.00 or 4205,0,0, It
is truly a small debt considering the expense and short time of our
construction ufork. But bills nnast be paid. The hardv^rare stores are
being patient and each iveek we lay back a bit toward the debts. Be
cause of you who are still helping,
are able to do this.
Wedding bells rang for the first time in the Chapel, March 20th,
v^en Lorraine McKay and Carl Stexvart were united in Marraige, It was
a beautiful wedding and Lorraine, formerly a Wortley girl, was a
lovely bride.
