Local Church
Has Made a Fine
Financial Record
. .
ci. isn&t s episcopal nmrcn Une in
State to Have Received Honor
able Mention.
From Monday's ra!ly
The St. Luke's Episcopal church
of this city has received honorable
v i iiuo i lit uao i-ivi nuuui calsav-
mention in The Crozier. the official
church publication of the Episcopal
ruplication of the Episcopal
church in the Omaha diocese and
which is a very fine showing for the
local church.
The local church . has made full ,
payment of all of its obligations for
the year 1927 as well as all arrear
ages for the year 1926, being are
only church in the state to have all
of their obligations paid up for the
year and being clear of all indebted-!
ness.
This is especially pleasing in view
of the fact that the church has a
very small congregation in the first
place and suffered the loss of consid
erable money several years ago in the
collapse of a local financial institu
tion and the splendid management
of the church affairs and the sup
port of the church by its members
have enabled them to place the
church in the best of shape finan
cially. The showing of the church is very
pleasing also to Father V. C. Mid
cileton who has served as the rector
here for the past year and who is to
lenve in a short time for Denver to
take charge of the St. Luke's church
at that place, leaving here with a
church that is in the best shape of
any in the state as far as finances
are concerned.
In the final wiping out of the
church's Indebtedness there is a very
interesting story. The church debt
had been reduced to $100 and this
fact was learned by a prominent New
York City business man, who also
found the size of the church congre
gation and their earnest efforts as an
example of real progress in getting
their church in shape, and this gen
tleman gave a check fcrthe needed
amount that made the "church free
of debt and establishing a real re
cord snwne the iabraska -ehurenes.
