SPECIAL SERMONS

Christmas and Sunday! To those who
are religiously inclined and possess the
spirit of gratefulness to a highly de-
veloped degree this is a happy com
bination. In celebration of the day
services have been arranged in the
various churches of the city of an ap-
propriate and elaborate nature.
The music of course will be the
special feature at the majority of the
services, although the theme of the
sermon to be preached and the man
who will do the talking will be the
drawing card iE other instances. For
example, DR.. +. L. Loveland, of the
First Methodist church, who since he
came to Topeka from Omaha, Neb,
has been drawing large crowds on ac-
count of his pleasing oratory and sound
logic, will speak in the morning on
subject of general interest, 'Interna-
tional Peace VS.. The Menace of Mill
tarism-'
DR.. Charles NJ. Sheldon at the regu-
lar church service hour at the Central
congregational church will read an Or
iginal story based on an incident which
occurred in Topeka a few weeks ago,
and entitled "A Little Child Shall Lead
Them"
At this service there will be special
music by the regular church choir. In
the evening all of the church organiza-
tions will combine. At $3.50 children's
exercises will be held. Later gifts will
be presented which will be for the aid
of those at the county farm, and the
girls at the colored Crittenton home.
Gifts for special charitable purposes
will also be received.
