CHURCH IN POLSON
OWES NOT ONE CENT

Presbyterian Meeting. Discloses Good Condition.

Polson, April 1.--(Special.) The annual dinner of the Presbyterian church was held Friday evening in the social rooms of the church. Nearly 100 attended. Addresses were made by the pastor, Rev. George W. White, and Charles H. Lyman. Following this a business session was held, interspersed with various features of an entertaining order. Reports showing great progress and success were made by the Ladies' Aid society, the Sunday school, the Christian Endeavor society and by the pastor on behalf of the church. A gratifying increase in membership was shown and every report showed all debts paid and a balance on hand for the first time in the history of the church.

The officers whose terms expired were re-elected and Charles H. Lyman elected a trustee to fill the unexpired term of D. J. Gillam, who has moved from the city. The officers now are: Elders, W. A. Gregg and A. D. Maynard; deacons, I. L. Maynard, C. W. Wiedman and E. E. Anthony; trustees, J. A. Johnson, L. L. Marsh, A. D. Maynard, W. A. Gregg and C. H. Lyman; treasurer, Mrs. J. A. Johnson.

Miss Schmidt sang a solo; Miss June Whiting read charmingly, "Opening the Missionary Box," and the male quartet, Rev. G. W. White, H. C. John, P. O. Spaberg and C. F. Riebe, rendered several selections to the delight of the audience.

The great success reported for the past year put everyone in a happy frame of mind and sufficient pledges were made of financial support to insure a like success for the coming year.
