PASTOR MAY ENGAGE
IN OVERSEAS WORK

Subject and Subjector" is the
theme of Rev. David A. JohnsOn's
sermon at the Central Presbyter-
ian church Sunday morning. In
the evening he will preach the
fourth of a series of sermons on
the general theme of How God Has
Favored the Struggles of Peoples
Against Tyrants and Autocrats.
The subject for the evening will
be "DestroyerS of Temples and a
Champion of God" These sermons
are patriotic in the deepest and
truest sense. The minister under
takes to show that God has always
been on the side of those who have
struggled for freedom and indie
pendence. The illustrations are all
taken from the bible. Those who
do not attend church elsewhere are
extended an invitation to all the
services of the Central Presbyter-
ian church.
The minister also promises to
make a definite statement in the
evening as to whether or not he
will ask for a years leave of alb
sence to go to France in the inter
est of the American army. A meet
ing was called a few evenings ago
of the session and the board of
trustees for the discussion of this
matter, but no definite conclusion
was reached. Rev. Mr.. Johnson is
exceedingly anxious to enlist for
overseas service but states that he
is willing to make the sacrifice of
remaining at the home base if he
can be convinced that duty calls
him there. Those interested in the
matter are requested to be present
| Sunday evening to learn what the
| final decision is to be and for any
| expression Of the" congregation
that may be necessary.

they will go a hundred yards past.
