The union prayer meeting at our
church Wednesday evening was very
we'll attended. There is to be anoth-
er union service at the Christian
church this evening. A splendid
christian spirit is manifested in
these union services and should com
lnand the admiration and support OF
the ohurch-going public. These
meetings also have for their cons1d-
Grafton an evangelistic campaign in
Leon. Certainly a spiritual awaken
ing and greater church loyalty and
zeal is needed in our city. Let US
welcome whatever means that will
bring this blessing. Plan to be at
prayer meeting this evening.
The Leon people responded real
we'll to Tie cleanup" campaign
which was started last Friday But
that was just a beginning, let the
good work continue. There ought
to he civic pride as we'll as an indi-
vidual pride. The old Grecian adage,
cleanliness is next to goodness" is
sometimes accepted as spiritual ad-
monition, and it surely has enough
gospel in it, that it should be relig-
iously observed. Friday afternoon is
set for cleanup at our church. Let
our people take notice. II
Good reports come from the Jun
ior meeting Sunday afternoon. The
children enjoy their service and
readily respond to it.
The business-social meeting of the
Young Peoples Society is to be held
next Monday evening in the base
ment of the church. Let the young
people plan to be there; good time
awaits them.
Next Sunday is anniversary Sun
day at our church. This should in
te:est and enlist every member OF
the congregation. Let every mem
Der make a special effort to be at
the services Sunday.
