The Sunday School of Central Christian Church is peculiarized hy its all summer sessions each

Sunday morning. The recorded at- tendance for the summer quarter was 89, with considerably higher attendances during the other quarters when vacations do not interfere so greatly.

One of the chief points of inter- est noted in the exceptional fin- ancial picture was the individual and personal acceptance of stew- ardship responsibility. Another encouraging highlight is the min- ionary lnterest shown in the an- nual report. Ap roximateiy one- fifth of the ent re proceeds in mfts and offerings have been devoted to missionary work in 11; various aspects.
