Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of St. Paul's Evangelical Lutheran Church, Wilmington, North Carolina, 1858-1958 Our indebtedness, at the present, is about namely, on the adjoining lot which we were compelled to pur chase, and $750 on the church as it now stands. If we are to complete the church before next meeting of Synod, we must then raise the sum of and even then there will be a debt of remaining. The above calculation is made on the supposition that the church is to be finished in the simplest style possible. No al lowance is made for fencing the lot, or the introduction of gas, etc., so that you see we are greatly in need of help from the churches belonging to our Synod. Members of Synod responded, Shall our worthy brother plead in vain for his infant and needy congregation? Shall the want of a few thousand dollars retard the good work, already begun with so much prospect of success, in planting a Lutheran church on the seaboard, and in the largest city of the Old North State? Surely such will not be the case. Let pastors and people strive to excel in contributing to this very laudable undertaking.
