Methodist Church Notes
BY the Pastor

The Sunday school rally day
services last Sunday morning and
evening were we'll attended. The
officers, teachers leaders of depart
ments, scholars and friends of the
church seemed to do their full part
in making the day real success.
Both the attendance, 235, and the
collection, something over seven
dollars, was the largest for years.
This is great school, and each one
should strive to make it better.
We are now nearing the end of
the year, and every report should
be brought in at once.
Please hand your benevolent
card and money to the pastor and
every one back on the budget fund
should put their balance in the
basket, hand 1t to their steward or
to L. E. Hamilton, the treasurer.
Every member and friend should
help the church to close a good
year.
All the regular services next
Sunday. The pastor will preach
morning and evening.
The official board will meet next
Monday night at 7:45. Every
member should be present.
The annual conference convenes
in Cameron, Mo-, Wednesday,
October 6.
Members, friends, visitors, stran-
gers and the public all have a
most cordial invitation to attend
the Sunday school, church services,
league and the mid-week meetings.
