CHURCH LIFE

The all-day rally of next sab
bath, the 26th inst, will open
with the school at 10 a. m. sharp,
with q preaching service to fol-
low at II a. m. At 2 p. m. a Sec
ond preaching service, closing in
good time for such as come from
a distance to reach home for their
chores. At z p. m. the Epworth
League will conduct special SER
vice to be followed, without for
NAL closing, by sermon by the
pastor. Our friends from the
country are invited to share all
of these. especially those of the
morning and afternoon.
There is more in this plan than
the mere gathering of the out-of-
town people for day of spiritual
profit and enjoyment. Keota is
postal and commercial center for
a large territory, within which
almost every schoolhouse has its
Sunday School. But few, if any,
have preaching services. This is
a matter Of great concern to the
new pastor. He is unwilling that
it should continue as now. But
manifestly it has difficulties that
can only be met with much effort
and with faith and patience. The
rally is to set the ball rolling
countrywards, and make ac-
acknowledgement of the interest of
Keota in the people outside of its
own precinct. Let these come to
