Mount Vernon, the First Methodist
church has recently completed a
redecoration program. The total
cost of the program has been $5,-
500. In March 1940 the official board
of the church voted to undertake
a campaign to raise $3,750 for this
program but the actual amount
subscribed was $5,500 making pos-
sible a more complete program of
redecoration. Members of the re-
decoration committee were: F. G.
Brooks, chairman; Charles Hedges,
Roy Nelson, W. B. Gray, C. L.
Rich. Special committee: Name
Lathe, Mrs. Russell Cole, Mrs. El-
mer Moots.
WOMEN'S CHURCH GROUP~
Ladies Aid society of the Meth-
odist church, which began in 1896,
is important in the history of the
church. It has been the job of this
society to raise money many times
for the support and improvement
of the church. Mrs. Alonzo Collin
was the first president.
A ladies aid society was organiz-
ed, Dec. 1867. The church was de-
corated and new furniture bought
at a cost of $892.18. It came to
the rescue and paid part of the
bills, but the pastor's salary was
nogleeted. He was an individualist.
He collected several hundred dol-
lars for repairs, and refused to turn
the money into the treasury until
his salary was paid. Again the Imd-
ies Aid saved the day; the cash was
raised and the preacher got his
pay. A parsonage was built on the
lot adjoining the church on the
east, June, 1874. Miss Harriet J.
Cooke was made a committee to
procure the cash and purchase fur-
niture for the parsonage.
Two other units active in the
church work are the Women's For-
eign Missionary society and the
Women's Home Missionary society.
Church pastors, from the Rev.
L. C. Woodford in 1849, 1850, to
the present pastor, the Dr. W. G.
Rowley, have been the very basis
for the history df Methodism tn
Mount Vernon. Their leadership
has been incorporated to produce
the church and its constituency as
it is today. Its history has been
frequently marked by religious
awakenings and renewed dedica-
tion.
