We present to interested Bible stu
dents the Bible class in connection
with the Peoples Presbyterian Sab
bath school, where researches are
made every Sabbath morning for half
a nhour from 10 to 10:30, in Bible
study The class is growing weekly.
The verdict of the scholars, among
whom are some of the most eminent
students of the Word, is that the les
sons are instructive and inspiring.
To be in line with all the progress
i've moves in the city along the line
of religious activities, we once more
| enjoin on all our members and friends
to make the sacrifice to attend all OF
the Sabbath services as well as the
Wednesday night prayer and song ex-
J ercises.
The community is once more re-
minded that Thanksgiving services
will be observed at this church at II
O'Clock Thanksgiving day. Dinner
will be served by the ladies at the
close of the services. A program will
be the feature at night. The music
| for the occasion will be appropriate
and inviting as usual. The members
of the church are reminded of their
special Thanksgiving offertory.
We submit for pulpit treatment to-
morrow two very interesting themes.
The former is to expressly locate each
of the ethic heads in history and re.
ligion and thus lay bare the false as
sumption that some people make with
regard to monopolizing all of the good
in both history and religion of the
past and present The evening ser
mon provides comparison of pro
gram between the Christ and modern
representatives of the Christ. Every.
body is invited.
