Methodist Church Notes

Sunday school at 9:45; preach
ing by the pastor at IL a. m. and
8 p. m.
The official board at the last
meeting arranged to have Sunday
school at the regular hour and to
have the morning service as usual
with the exception that the morn
ing service will close at 11:45,
giving persons who wish to attend
in the morning and go to the
chautauqua on No. 3 time to reach
the train with hurry. People
who wish to and can attend the
c6autauqua should do so. It is
vacation and a good place for
recreation, and a good place if
properly used for social, intellect
ual, moral and spiritual improve
ment. The pastor shall be con-
tent to preach to small congrega-
tions while our people are enjoying
better things. But since there are
many of our children who cannot
attend the services there and some
of our people will not go, we feel
it our duty to serve them here.
You are most cordially invited to
attend the morning and evening
service.
