FIRST CHRISTIAN CHURCH

Another great and interesting day
OF services at the First Christian
church Sunday. A marked gain in
the Bible school--a splendid tourists
class, conducted by the pastor, and
classes for all ages were well attend
ed. The morning sermon and service
was especially for the Woman's Mis-

cember being our regular annual day
for the observance of the c. W. B.

Missions) organization. The pastor.

his theme "Woman's Ministry at the
Cross and at the Sepulcher," as sug-
gestive of her spirit and genius of her
work in the Church of Christ today.
Here we note her love, as she stood
by the cross to the last, and first to
stand by the open seuplcher, anxious
ly enquiring, where have you laid
him. Again we note her loyalty:
LET me take him away Her cour-
age is also shown, that even while
il was vet dark they made their way
to the tomb Her earnestness is noted
as being the first there, unlike the
drowsy and sleepy disciples in the
I Garden-and last her unselfish SER
vice, in the thoughtful preparation
and coming to embalm the body OF
her Lord. This example comes with
an earnest appeal that the woman
hood of the church today should be
inspired to greater love, loyalty, cour-
age. earnestness and unselfish serv-
ice for the Christ, who not only died
and was laid in the grave, but as we
know. has risen the life. light and
hope of the world, and thus giving to
womanhood her exalted place, which
IS one of the glories of the Christian
