Prayer Meeting, Thursday s 100 p. m.
After going year without Union
services the Ministerial Association
and Church Boards have decided to
try them again. The meetings will
be held on the west lawn OF the
Christian church. In many ways the
arrangement is unique. The loca-
ton gives us privacy and is also re-
moved from the noise of the street,
with a church near by it will be pos
sible for us to take care Of the ser
vices should there be a storm.
Especial attention is also called to
the unified program of the morning
services The Sunday school service
as you will note, begins fifteen min
utes earlier and closes at 10:15, or
rather there will be transition from
the Sunday school to the church ser
vice. 1t is guaranteed that the
church service will close at 11:15 or
sooner. l feel that this is move in
the right direction. This gives us
the church services in the cool Of
the morning and gives people an OPP
portunity to visit or use their cars
in any way they see fit during the
larger part of Sunday. We solicit
your hearty cooperation, and with
all objections possible removed in
wife you to the services of the church.

were able to make.
After the sermon the matter was
left open for remarks by the congre-

marks by ". r. McGinnis, DR.. f. A..
