The violin solos by Miss Freda
Teale last Sunday morning and ev-
ening were a very helpful cOntribu-
ton of the church music that day.
Miss Teale is taking her mus cal
course at Northwestern University,
one of the largest schools of the
church.
The Sunday school has closed q
prosperous year. Back debts have
been paid, and supplies for part of
the next year provided for in ad-
vance. The weekly attendance
throughout the year has averaged
23 more than last year. We pur-
pose to make another gain during
the New Year.

At the Christian Church.

A good sized audience listened
with interest to the sermon on THE
Model Church" last Sunday morn
ing. In the evening another famous
musical concert under the leader
ship of Prof. T. Johannes was rend-
cred. The program was excellent
from start to finish, and the great
audience went away we'll pleased.
These sacred concerts have become
very popular and never fail to at
tract a large audience of apprecia-
tive listeners. Watch for the date
of the next program.
The Bible school elected officers
last Sunday morning. Mr.. J. W..
Scott was reelected as superintend-
ent, ]. NJ. Chastain as assistant
superintendent, Winnie Housh as
secretary, Leila Brann as treasurer,
and Tressie Tullis organist. The
school has set it's stakes at 200 for
the coming year. We can have this
number, if the older members of the
church will turn over a new leaf
and come to the Bible school.
On Thursday evening OF this week
a teachers conference will be held
at the pastors study in the church.
Every teacher and officer of the
Sunday school is requested to be
present.
The regular services of the
church will be held next Sunday
morning and evening. Let us start
out with the new year with a large
attendance. This would lend new
courage to every member as well
as the pastor.
