ing discussed In religious circles, for
new arrangement for our prayer meeting
services. The idea 10 this: That one
night, In mid-week, be set apart as the
night for exclusive prayer service In all
our churches, to be conducted as usual,
but to be held In all the churches the
same night. The suggestion has grown
out of the fact that with the growth of
the town, comes the increase OF business
there are only two nights of the week,
leaving out tho three for prayer service
at the three churches, when other meet
ings can be held. II one night in the
week is set apart for the prayer meeting
It vii! soon become understood thatno
other meetings, social or otherwise, are
to be held on that night, and the attend
meetings will naturally be increased.
Some have objected to the plan hecanss
it might discourage the intermingling of
our several denominations at the prayer
meetings. On the other hand, advocates
of the plan say it will induce large at

denomination knows for a certainty that
the congregation will depend on its own
individual efforts. We are sure that the
thing, pro and con, will be csrefully

The oncs-a-Week Club will resume
work this week, the opening meeting to
be held with Mrs. Luke Werner. The

opening meeting will not be a social one,
as has hitherto been the custom with the
club, which departure is induced by seri-
ous sickness in the home of the vice
president and death in the family of
the president.
