*Under this head are all amounts received for other than benevolent objects.
TIn this column are grouped regular and special collections or the church and Sabbath school, Kemerer scholarship fund, Christian Endeavor Societies and special offerings.
#Women's Societies, Bands, etc., indicate all offerings received from these sources, including the Ladies' Aid Society.
The exceptionally large amounts in certain years in the Congrega- tional Expense column include sums raised for the erection of new buildings.
The early records being incomplete, the above is presented as an approximately correct statement.
After almost a century's experience with the pew rent and other systems, the East Liberty Presbyterian Church finally, after careful investigation and study of the entire plan of raising money, both for expenses of the church and for the various benevolences thereof, on July 1, 1909, adopted the voluntary pledge system. Pledge cards were given to each member on which they were asked to state the amounts they were willing to contribute for congregational expenses and benevolent funds, and envelopes were furnished to contain the amounts. At that time approximately two-thirds of the membership contributed their quota, thus manifesting general approval of the plan.
We have now had ten years' experience with the voluntary pledge system, and believe that if the system is energetically handled, it is superior to the old idea of pew-renting and more democratic, and gives every member an opportunity to do his share in the support of the church and its work, and thus distributes the burden more equally among all the congregation, instead of allowing a few mem- bers to carry the greater portion of the load.

THE CENTENNIAL HYMN-(Tune Alford, Hymnal 261)
O Church of Christ in service Think of Thy risen Head, Who died for thee on Calvary And for thy sins He bled.
O Church of Christ, now waiting,
The promised time draws near
When He who said I'll come again,
In glory shall appear.
O Church of Christ, in suffering Be faithful to thy Lord, Who promised to sustain thee In His own precious word.
O Church of Christ triumphant,
Thy toil, thy warfare o'er,
Glory and honor with thy Lord,
Is thine for ever more.

And Paul came to the congregation and preached freely the name of Jesus Christ our Lord. Then spake the Holy Ghost: "Set ye apart Barnabas and Paul for the work whereunto I have called them." And when they had fasted and prayed and laid their hands on them they sent them away. Now we are ambassadors in the name of Christ, and God beseecheth you by us, in the name of Christ. How lovely are the messengers that preach to us the gospel of peace. To all the nations is gone forth the sound of their words, throughout all the lands their glad tidings.
