Inasmuch as nearly all the local Presby-
terrain churches have dispensed with Sunday
evening preaching service the congregation
of the Washington Heights Presbyterian
Church has decided to omit the morning
preaching and hold a service at night each
Sunday during the summer months. 1t Is
the aim Of the pastor and others Of the
congregation to make this evening service
popular and attractive and for that reason
special music will be a feature Of the wor-
ship. For the first few Sundays Mrs Thos
c. Noyes will sing and the choir will render
special selections. A short sermon will be
preached by the pastor, Rev. E. Lawrence
Hunt. 1t is thought because of the splendid
location Of the church on Washington
Heights, where there is usually a cool
breeze, that the plan will meet with graft
flying success. Members of other Presby-
terrain churches who have no place to go for
Sunday evening worship will be heartily
welcomed to these services.
