midweek prayer meetings between the
Presbyterian and Christian churches
will close with the last Thursday in
October. 1t has been in progress dur
ing the months of September and Oc-
tober, and up to date the Christian
church is ahead. It has meant much
to both churches, as new members
have been taken into both congrega-

more than doubled. There has been
contests before, between the same
churches, but have never been so inter
esting and created as much enthusiasm
as this one has.
