HaV. walter RCSS, by request, went
over to Toledo Sunday to ASST Rev.
G. r. Ellsworth in holding the eleven
O'Clock meeting. Mr.. Ross preached
the sermon. The meeting was we'll
attended and the services were very
interesting.
Miss Alma Ross entertained the Ep-
worth League at the parsonage with
lawn panty. The Leaguers were well
represented and all speak Of spending
a very pleasant evening. The yard
was lit up with Chinese lanterns which
mAIde a very beautiful appearance
The evening was spent in playing
amusements. II is important that the
young pe;Dle should have healthful
and pleasant enjoyment. This keeps
them from going to questionable am
alsemen.s. These places of amuse-
ments should be provided by the teach
ers and parents. If young people don't
have good, suitable places to go to fer
their amIsements they will go to bad
places.
