A clever pass by Nelson, a pretty

The club team was composed of star
men who have won fame on many a

Seventy Five People Respond to the

The services on Sunday at the Cen.

Rev. l.. M. Williams spoke In the
morning on the subject OF "sanctihca.

chapters. The work OF the church az
Thessalonica was discussed in a thor.

given OF their zeal and enthusiasm.
Rev. Williams gave a strong ~presenta.
