Horn's ministry. The main sanctuary and. chancel was remodeled and re decorated. A new look was giv en the chancel by building a wood rail and the choir loft, all refinished in a modern style "blonde" finish. The seating was rearranged, making all in the main wing face the pulpit. The floors were sanded and refinished. During all of this improvement the pas tor worked as carpenter and la borer, doing whatever was to be done. A truly co-operatnig proj ect was completed by many members joining in the "do it yourself" and pay as you go programs. When completed all was free of debt. This not on- g 1 ly improved the church but li brought the membership closer not to work, at least to con- t-riVinto financiallv Rev. Horn then gave the win dows a real change by install ing imitation "Gothic" colored material on the windows, giving a stained glass window effect, adding to the sanctuary a bet ter lighting effect also. "There were three baptismal certificates which the Rev. Horn had to present to those who were baptised in the church the previous Sunday. The Rev. Horn is retiring from a church pastorate, but already had a call to conduct an Evan gelistic meeting for a minister who he formerly conducted a revival service for. He preaches the gospel according to the Bible, and lives the life accord ingly. The entire Elmwood commu nity will miss the Horns as they were workers in the entire com munity.
