Episcopal churches do not build
as a rule unless they have the
money and the local congregation
set $5000 as its goal. Money has
been coming In from all over the <
United States as well as from local
parishioners. Trinity Church In
New York of which Rev. Mr. John-
son at one time was rector has
given $500 and one man in an-1
other congregation gave $250. Part
of the money raised was realized by
lectures given by Father Johnson
on the very storm which wTccked
the church. Several lectures were
given on the hurricane in the
Valley and one in San Antonio.

sion causes farmers In the United
