SUNDAY SCHOOL ANNEX ASSURED
The erection of a modern Sunday school annex by the Methodist Church is assured as a result of a drive made Thursday, according to an announcement made this morning following a meeting of committees last night to review the results of the drive. Ample funds have been pledged for the Sunday school building.
The new building, which has been made necessary by the growth of the Sunday school, will be erected on the lot just east of the church building, where the old parsonage now stands. It will be three stories in height and will contain an auditorium with a seating capacity of over 500.
The basement will contain a kitchen for use by the ladies and will be used for the primary and kindergarten classes of the Sunday school. The first floor will contain an auditorium to be used exclusively by the men's classes and two classrooms for the junior boys.
The top floor will contain classrooms for the junior and intermediate classes.
The old parsonage now being used for Sunday school purposes has been sold and will be moved off the property at an early date. Work on the new building will begin immediately.
