The Christian Endeavor Society de.
serves credit for devising new and at
tractive things. One of the last is, Gn
which they have the full cooperation
of the pastOr), a day set apart for the
"shut-ins"-those persons who from
age, feebleness or what ever cause, are
shut in at their homes the most of the
time. Another designation has been ole
Folks or Veterans day. Next Sunday
if good day, will be devoted to this
purpose, and the pastor and his
helpers would like to see a large at.
tendance. The services will doubtless
be made interesting.

with tonight. The Methodist churcl
could not make the change from
Thursday night this week, but will
