BROTHERHOOD
Will Meet at the First Church of
Christ.

Several weeks ago there was organ
lied at the First Church of Christ an
organization for men called "The
brotherhood of the First Church of
Christ" Officers were elected and
constitution and bylaws have already
been adopted. The first meeting will
be held Tuesday night in the Sunday
school rooms of The church at 7:30.
Rev. II. A. Cooley, pastor of the Ce-
dar ave. Church of Christ, Cleveland,
will make the address. At the close
OF the address there will be a social
session and refreshments will be serv-
cd. The Brotherhood started out with
go charter members and it is hoped
that each one of these will be present
at this meeting The Brotherhood is
not exclusive, but provides in its con-
stitution for membership, both of men
who are church members and also
those who are not. The aim of the or
ganization is to develop the spiritual,
intellectual and social life OF the mem
bers. All other classes of people have
their different societies in the church
suited for their respective needs, but it
seems that the men have been left
out; that is, there is no distinctive or
ganization for them, To supply this
lack the Brotherhood has been organ
lied in the First Church of Christ.
Rev, Cooley is a forceful and interest
ing speaker and his address will be
well worth hearing. A good social
time is promised. Quite a number OF
complimentary tickets have been given
out for this meeting, This part of the
work is in charge of the secretary, Mr.
Earle Tannar.

which they have their respective
perches, and thus all is dark as before.

1t follows:
To the officers and Members of the

Dearly Beloved Brethren: For two

hour disturbed, and pray God in His
wise providence to send you man
richly equipped for all successful SER
vice, with large personal and spiritual
gifts. God grant you divine wisdom
and grace to ever live together as one
