Last Easter Sunday flower seeds were given to the younger members of our Bible School All children who planted these seeds or raised flowers this summer, are requested to bring to the church next Saturday at o'clock, flowers that may be used for decora- tions.
 Septen Der 24th will be observed in our Bible School as Rally Day. Make your plans to attend. The primary object Of the day is to get together all the forces of the BibleSchool and make the attendance for that day as large as possible. A special program is being prepared to make the day especially attractive. Might it uot be a good plan to extend the effort so as to em- brace the morning and evening ser. vices. We are confident the choir would furnish good music, and an at l tempt would be made to make the pulpit address as stimulating as possi- ble. The officers and committees of the C. l.. society could easily rally the young people, and the day would be made in reality what 1t is in name. Why not invite all your friends to at tend all the services of Rally Sunday. Remember the date, September 24th.
 At the midweek service last Thurs day evening 1t WAS suggested that more interest be taken in the members of our church who are away from home. Some Of our young people are occupying positions of trust and re- sponsibility, and their hearts would be gladdened and confidence in the sue cess of their work strenp thened if they could feel that they were remembered by the home church.
 A meeting of the leaders and friends of the four young peoples associations was held last Friday evening, and plans for the coming year were dis eussed. Some radical changes were proposed and suggestions offered as to the most effective way to carry on the work. The first meeting of the @. of A. will be held September 26. The Pilgrims have already commenced their work.
 Sept 70 the Ladies Social Circle will give peach and .chating dish supper followed by an entertainment and so- cial hour. This is the first social of the season and a general attendance is desired.
 The proposition has been made that each organization in the church. Bible School, C. F.. Society, Ladies' Social Circle, etc.-be asked to be re- sponsible for one or more socials dur ing the year and have them so ar- ranged that A definite plan can be carried out. If this could be brought about there would be much greater church. The Ladies Social Circle have an excellent plan. Why not ex tend 1t to other organizations? | Next Sunday the offering is for the American Missionary Association and we have the promise of Dr. Gutterson to present the work of the society. The announcement that he Is to be with us should insure large congregation. He is always a welcome guest and his coming Is blessing to us all.
