in Debt But Now It Doesn't Owe a

Plan Proves to Be Practical Mort
gage Burned With Pleasuro Prop
erty Is Worth $60,000.
Tbo annual meotin-; held last night
of the congregation nnd offhera of the
ProviJenca Prosbytorian church was
interrsting in that it revealed the suc
cessful culmination f u roally groat
Qnanoial ohnroh work.
Ouo year ago yesterday the church
was $10,000 in debt. Daring the your
the amount was raised and also a snm
BUffloient to pay the running expenses
of ihe church. On Monday Ilia last
dollar of the mortgage was paid to
.Samuel S Ciilburt. of Gilhertsvillo. N.
Y., and as a fitting culmination of the
cancelling ot tha obligation the mort
gage was burnod last night in too
pretence of the congregation.
D. 15. Atberton, president; Charles
Von Storch, troasurer. and II. II Mc-
Keeban were re-aleeted to oontinna ou
the board cf trustees. W. J Lewis and
B D. Athertoti continue to servo on the
board.
HOW IT WAS DOXE.
It is lntiTostititr to know how the
feat of clearing the church from debt
11 feat Becond cnly perhaps to t!io grat
bin t ark church work was accoui
plUhed. The fact of a debt whs 1

President D. B. Athrrion oama forth
with n icbame, utiiuuo in iia wuv,
which at the start was looked upon by
tuo ooartl as itntiractical.
ihe plan of Mr. Atherion was to as
sess eacu member of th ) congregatiou
ono-tenth of his iuoomo. At the start
11 whs 11 on kuowh wiiut Bsiariei or iu-
comes belonged to the members, nor
was it known how many would con
sent to tho Scriptural authority to give
tliutr tithes, however, 111 a few days
lollowlng the announcement of the
idea, the various resources of the indi
viduals of the congregation were very
accurately ascertainud uud nil agreed

Ihe mouey was all paid 111 May l,tha
mortgage paia later, and, very prop
erly, this iitinouuueinent was made
formally at last night's meeting.
Remark wero mado by Rsv. George
E. Guild, W. J. Lewis, D. D. Athertou
and F. M. Vandiing. The sentiments
expressed were a source of gratification
to those present, who knew that during
a few years, with comparatively little
to commence with, the church has
now a property valued at $03,000, in
cluliug the parsonage adjoining tha
church on North Main avouue.
A GIANT HAS ARISEN.
Thseo fficts ore presented in detail
for the reason that many residents
who are wrapped up in cnurch work of
the central city have lost sight of tha
fact that a church giant has arisen in
Providence.
Mr. Guild, the pastor, in his remarks
was disposed to placo the credit of the
great work upon the trustees, and thoy
in turn very modestly were disposed to
nttriboto much of the great success to
tiie pastor; but the fact remains that
the feat has been accomplished and
the church is willing that the world
should know it.
