Kgan of Plush and pre sented to the diocese to be used as a home for nuns. Parishioners do nated time and money to ren ovate the old building. They cleaned, painted, and did the necessary carpentry and electri cal work, which amounted to ap proximately W.000 in repairs and restoration. The original invest ment in the property was $18,000. The convent has three bed- 1 ooms, two baths, work room, din ing room, chapel, reception room, and basement with utilities and garage. Rev.

LORELLA FI LL GOSPEL The Lnrella Full Gnspel Church was founded by Mrs. Belle Kid- well and Helen Voi ce at a meet ing in the Lorclla Community Hall in the summer nf 1927.

Hagerman was accepted as pas- tnr and built the present church structure on an acre of ground do nated by Tex Evatt. Improve ments were made from time to time with volunteer labor under the direction of succeeding minis ters. The parsonage, included in the initial plan, has been enlarged and equipped with all the mod em facilities. An annex for Sun day School rooms was added in 194K and again in 1950. and wood furnace was installed. From 19ii0 to 19M the church planned a tltree-vear improve ment program. The church plant has already been completely re decorated, and the exterior and in terior have been repainted. Ex panded parking facilities and land scaping were completed last vear.

The work was done by the men of the church and the Mc- Guire Construction Company of Klamath Falls for an approximate cost of $1,200. The work has not yet been completed, and mem bers expect to spend an addition al $200 for siding for the ex terior, as well as paint and ma terials for redecorating the in terior. Money for the project was obtained by a loan from the Oregon District Assemblies of God. The church property has an in volved history. It was first deed ed to the Bculah Methodist Episco pal Church by Mr. and .Mrs. Jo seph Nichols for $1 on Sept. .1. 1902. This is the first record nf the church at Bonanza, but many old-lime residents say the history of the present church goes back farther than 1900. After some years tlie work in Bonanza was abandoned by the Methodists. In 19-17 the property was purchased bv the Nazarene Church, which had been function ing in the community for several years, but the Nazarenes also abandoned their work in 1935. The present Community Church was organized around 1954 by Hev. Bill Alsup. an Assembly of God minister; and Ihe present congregation completed purchase of the property, owned by Ihe Nazarenes. in 19H2. The Oregon District Assemblies of God loaned the local church the money for the purchase and granted $511(1 outright. This loan has since been repaid. In nrder to prevent members nf the community from having to buy this property again, as it has exchanged hands numerous times. the deed granted tn Bonanza Cnm munity Church carries a provi sion that should-the Assemblies of God ever cease their interest in the work in Bonanza, the prnp- erly will revert, without charge, to the community. However, the community must use the properly for church purposes in accord with the basic principles of evan- lical Christianity. 1 K I day at First Baptist Church. : Delegates from alvoul I7 Ore. jgon ciiunhc. were a-tendinc. lee - mg were scheduled IhrniuK Thii: i.-tv I!irL- Care . $50 to S 1 23 10 developed cr TU 4-3161 of Klcmoth FoM
