announced In the news columns OF
your valuable paper, the annual

by the company for their accom-.

comments ON the part OF the ladies
concerning the certain need OF
change. To ride seated, however,
the ladies should have chartered q

says that the reason his union men
cut telephone and telegraph wires

who started the false reports.

Last Sunday was one of unusual in
terest at both services. At the morn
ing hour, the Pastors text was Ephes-
ians Sis, And be not drunk with
wine wherein is excess; but be filled
with the Spirit" One of the inter
esting features of the service was the
launching of the Junior Choir, which
has just been recognized by DR.. Fay,
director, and Miss Heloise Hebert,
pianist. The leaders have the appre-
citation of the entire congregation for
this splendid work that will be so
much help in the services. DR.. Fay
sang a beautiful solo, accompanied by
Miss HelOise Hebert at the piano, and
Mr.. SANFORD HILBERT with tromb one.
The congregation was larger than
usual. This is encouraging to the
Pastor and other workers.
At night, the emphasis was laid upon
the Christian Educational Campaign,
which is now under full Roadway with
$33 200, 100000 as a goal. Capt c. j.
