Zion was in a continual spiritual UP
roar all Of last Sunday. In the morn

by wonderful sermon coming from
our pastor. While on Sunday afternoon
the communion service) the spirit of
the Almighty seemed to have visited
everyone present. Their was a. reioic
Ing and praising as never before aa
His steadfast soldiers poured out pra's
es to their Maker.
We regret, however that the seating
capacity is insufficient to accommodate
, the large numbers that are now con-.
ing out but plans are in operation for
, the enlargement Of the present build
: ing to meet this demand.
We desire to state further that 'he
, program for 1922 is now being prepar.

moss at a very early date.
Their are quite a few sick among

leave with them bit OF sunshine OF
, word Of cheer.
