EVERYBODY AT CHURCH SUNDAY
Gall to Worship Heeded by Many Ex-
 tra Hundreds.

There was a whole souled response in Putnam to the Everybody at Church call Sunday. and large congregations were the rule at all of the churches, both at the morning and evening ser vices. The welcome that was extend ed at every church was a hearty one, and there is no doubt that many who are not regular church. -goers were made to feel that additional happiness would come into their lives if they formed a resolution to be at church every Sunday. The sermons were made especially forceful for the day, and the music at various churches was of a special nature. Out of town pas tors occupied pulpits at two of the churches at the evening services, pr. A. A. Berle of Boston at the Cougrega- tional church and Rev. Fl. Douglas Pierce of Woodstock at the Baptist church.
 At the Congregational church the floral decorations were the gift of c. <. Andem. For the illustration, Home of Our Childhood the church was in debted to Artist Thomas J. Thurber ot Putnam Heights.
