been crushing its foundations into the ground until it was on the
point of falling. Our own missionary and student force lifted it up, put under it new foundations and repaired it in every part. At a cost of between $4,000 and $5,000, they saved a $15,000 building which engineers and contractors pronounced a hopeless wreck. At Jackson, Miss., our church has been nicely seated with new pews. At Hammond, La., a new church building has been erected. At Straight University, a new industrial building has been put up with student labor, and a small greenhouse has been built. For a long time the need of enlargement there has been felt, and a lot near the present buildings has been bought, on which is to be a school house for the primary and intermediate grades. At the Fort Berthold Mission, North Dakota, a new church, school and mission home building has been built and named the Moody Station, after the giver of the money which built it; also a small church building at Moody Station No. 2. At Standing Rock a new school, church and mission building--called after the donor, the Sankey Station--has been erected. At Fort Yates, we report a new church building--the Darling Memorial. These are the most important enlargements and improvements. Of course, there are many other smaller ones throughout our large field. * * * * * |
