Presbyterian Church Notes.

All lines of work in the church
are prospering. The members feel
they owe duty to the community
and it is our aim to give all who at
tend something to help and inspire
in the struggles and tolls of life.
We ask the thoughtful consideration
of all who sincerely desire the church
to attain her fullest mission in bless
ing and uplifting manhood and
womanhood, and in guiding the foot
steps of youth. For this reason we
invite the public generally to attend
next Sabbath mornings worship and
consider with us: "The Mission and
the Challenge of the Church."
Since the coming of Miss Seifken
the music of the church has i'm
proved wonderfully and good music
is in store for the worshippers at our
church.
Sabbath school and Christian
Endeavor at the usual hours next
Sabbath. Let all Endeavorers be
present next Sabbath at $3.50 p. M,
as at that time delegates will be
elected to the state convention.
We want the men of Leon to at
tend the service at the Tabernacle

The Tabernacle Meetings.

The Union Revival at the taberna-
Gle is meeting with great success in
every way. Great crowds attend
night after night. The sermons of
Mr.. Hills are full of Bible and great
power. He goes after sin without
gloves. If you have not heard him
be sure to come. The interest in
this revival meeting is something be-
yond all expectation. Mrs. Hills is
expected to be here today and will
preach tonight and tomorrow night,
1t is expected that she will stay until
the close of the meeting and assist in
every way. She will conduct a
meeting for women and girls Sun
day afternoon at O'Clock at the
Methodist church. Mr.. Hills will
speak at the tabernacle Sunday af-
ternoon in mass meeting for men
only. Boys under twelve years of
age will not be admitted. His sub
ject will be Facts for Men to Face. :"
Every man in Leon should hear this
sermon. We are expecting the Leon
band to be present and play for this
occasion.
One of the noticeable things in
this campaign is that there have
been conversions at every service
since Mr.. Hills began to give the in
vitation up to and including Mon
day night, when there were five con-
versions making a total in five days
of thirty conversions. The chorus
is doing most excellent work under
Mr.. Osborn's direction. His solos
are highly enjoyed by all.
