Presbyterian Managers Asked to Complete Canvas and Then Put up School Room

[The Telegraph, 14 June 1910]

             A meeting of the congregation of the Presbyterian Church was held on Thursday evening for the purpose of receiving the report of the canvassers from the campaign for a new Sunday School room and alterations to the church. It was found that while the canvass was not nearly completed, almost $2000 had been subscribed and about a quarter of that amount guaranteed each year for sinking fund and interest.

             In view of the circumstances the congregation instructed the managers to complete the canvass and then proceed with construction.

             On Friday afternoon at a meeting of the Ladies Aid of the Church, it was decided to increase their contribution to the fund from $100 to $200. On Sunday Mr. Cunningham suggested that the new school room be termed “McCuaig Memorial Hall.”
