Twilight Union
Services Planned

Silverton, Or, July ct is said
that series of twilight Sunday even
ing union church services will likely
be one of the attractions in Silyerton
during the summer. If the PROPOSE
tion spoken of by some of the mem
bers of the churches reaches full de-
velopment, beginning at O'Clock the
meetings. will be held in the park and
will combine the regular sacred con-
certs preceding the sermon. 1t is also
believed that a band or orchestra may
be secured for the occasions.
A short address will be given each
Sunday evening and singing of famil-
lar hymns will be led by choir com
posed of singers from the different
congregations in the city, or by the
orchestra if such is secured.
This proposed system is something
new in Silverton and members of the
churches interested are in hopes to in
crease the attendance at Sunday even
ing services. Open air meetings have
been conducted in Silverton from time
to time, but they have not included the
concerts, and have also commenced at
O'Clock, making it necessary to use
lighting for the meetings.
The purpose, 1t is said, is to make the
OF this summer informal and
as restful as possible.
If the plans can be consummated
each of the ministers in the city speak.
IL, however, speakers of unusual tafen, I
from out of Silverton are here, they |
will of course, be given the oppor-
unity to speak. The. program each |
