DOW CITY, Oct. 21-special-
REV. Mckay field secretary of the
BidWell deacOnness home at Des
Moines, was a passenger to Dow City
Saturday afternoon, he being sec. red
by the local Woman's Home Mission
ary society to give the address at
their annual thank offering service at
the Methodist church Sunday morn
ling. The service began at 11:45, the
usual preaching hour, with Miss Mil
dred Virgins in charge of the devo-
,tional exercises OF the day, after
which the speaker was introduced.
Il His address was exceptionally fine
and was we'll received. Those who
were not present missed r. tr' {.
At the close Of this splendid discourse
the thank offering was taken, tnl, lea
ture also being of an exceptional ma
ture in that 1t was more literally re-
sponded to than ever before, with an
unusually small audience at this time,
which was due to. sickness and be-
reavement in several of the church
families. The offering received upon
this occasion was $3.50. The largest
offering ever received heretofore was
$122. This neat increase at this time
goes to show the great interest and
! Willingness of the people in helning
along this worthy cause. Next Sun
day the local Methodist Sunday school
will observe rally day. Beginning
at 1O:45 a. m. an appropriate program
will be put on in which the little folks
will give a demonstration of their
work as carried out in the primary de-
partment. Supt E. G. Virgins is plan
ming on securing a good speaker for
the day. The Sunday school session
will follow this service. to which ev.
eryone is invited and especially re-
quested to be present. Please note
the change of time andlet every zone AZ
range to be present at both OF these
services and make this a record
breaking attendance. A special offer
ing will be taken which will go to the
board of Sunday schools.
On account of the Baptist conven-
ton which is being held in Sioux City
this week, beginning Wednesday and
continuing over Sunday, there will be
no preaching service at the local Bap-
fist church next Sunday morning and
evening. The Sunday school session
will be held at the usual hour, how
