Last Sunday at the morning hour
the Sunday school and church serv-
ices were combined and assembled at
10 o'clock Superintendent of Sunday
school, E. E. Cayord, was all smiles.
He had urged that the Sunday school
should have two hundred in attend
ance The number exceeded this
amount by fifteen or twenty.
The night service was a service of
enthusiasm and fervor The pastors
text was Acts 1882: Thus Jesus hath
God raised up, whereof we all are wit
nesses."
Peter and these others were wit
nesses to the fact of the resurrection
of Jesus Christ They staked all upon
this wonderful miracle. The early
Christians were constantly proclaim
ing it, 1t is the chief corner stone
of our faith. Let us all appreciate
the great fact of the risen Saviour.
The collections were for the orphan
age at Ruston and the church and
Sunday school will jointly send more
than $1,000. There were some nice Of
ferings announced for the new church
building fund. Miss Luella Dunn,
president of the Missionary Society,
thanked the congregation for making
it possible for the society to realize
S51 90 net in the matter of taking
subscriptions to the Holland Maya
zine. The funds are growing, but we
are not to the goal, $4,000. Maybe
some one who reads this may desire
to help us. Now would be a good
time to buy Liberty Bond and give
it to the fund. You could thus help
the boys lover yonder'' and help us
with our new church all at the same
time.
