The low est rough estimate they received for the type of house they wanted was in lhe neighborhood of $9000 Applying the adage "If you want anything done do it yourself" the preacher and his church

Me morial Methodist church started out to build a parsonage with little cash but a world of determination and In tiful will be ready for occupation and in the Church fercnce when the pastor who led the project might be moved The house would bring a flock of buyers if it were placed on lhe market for $10000 or even at a higher figure But lhe total cash outlay for it as it stands was only about $6500 There are only 106 active mem bers on the roils Of the Curtis Memorial church Thirty seven of these were added during the three years Mr Carlton has been its pastor How story As soon as he was moved here from Columbia the energetic 28 year old minister 'he was only 25 them put the proposition up to his congregation and found them fa vorably inclined toward erecting a parsonage rom that day on he and his members began accumulating money a little here a little to be used for the church After a year and a half the building whole i started to build irst thev purchased lhe lot joining the church Then they or dered a set of plans Mr Carlton had had a litQe ex perience as a "jack leg carpenter" so he drew the assignment of con tractor financier personnel man ager materials manager general supervisor and any other title th it might be connected with building a house Between helping out with saw and hammer Mr Carlton pounded the pavement looking for money It wasn't always easy to

hope that vith the construction of a parsonage they will be able to get a station preach er here At present Mr Carlton serves a circuit including Webb Kinsey nd Rocky Branch churches "If we can't get a full time preacher for this church we should go to town on building it up" he says "The town is growing out here ana there should be a lot of members in this section who aren going to church now" Since the beginning of the par sonage Mr Carlton's preaching has been confined mainly to his Sunday work His visiting and con tact work has been seriously cur tailed but most of that is past If he stays he can devote time and energy that went the parsonage to building church If he moves his successor will have nothing else to do Either way lent will beat terials s' cot through pane Lis 106
