convene at 10 O'Clock and there are classes
for all ages, from the little tots in the church

and at meeting recently the officers for
the ensuing year were elected as follows
superintendent, Charles Boyer assistant
superintendent, Brooke Vincent secretary
treasurer, Clarence Case organist, Mrs.
James Ofutt; assistant organist Mrs j..
W. Lowden.
Remember the Sunday School and make
an effort to attend Do not say to your
children, 60, but rather lead the way and
say. come. This will prove for all parents
eieantically strong investment and In
later years will return the principal plus
compound interest.
The regular hour for morning worship will
be at II O'Clock, when the pastor, Rev. J..
W. Lowden, will preach. This will be
memorial day service and the theme will
be in keeping with this thought. 1t will be
patriotic in character and the little chill
dren. led by Miss Lizzie Rice, will take an
appropriate place in the service. Remem-
Der those who sacrificed for our country,
and honor their memory by your pres
ence at this service. They have done
much to make our country safe for democ-
racy, and let us. at least, respond in a
grateful manner.
At the evening hour, 7:30 this Sabbath,
instead Of the regular Y. P. S. c. E. meet
ing, there will be a missionary service,
which will be led by Mrs. j. W. Lowden.
At this time there will be four ladies pres
ent from Washington. D. c.. who will ad-
dress us. These ladies are leaders In their
respective departments and beyond q
doubt will be interesting to listen to. This
service will be under the auspices Of the
Womens Missionary Society, and a warm
invitation is extended to all who possibly
can to come and enjoy this hour
1t is gratifying. indeed, to see the splen-
did attendance at our Sabbath services
and to see the many new faces from time
to time. To any who have no regular
church home and who feel they can wor-
ship at Darnestown Church, we offer the
right hand of fellowship and extend a
most hearty welcome.
The regular weekly prayer service is in
the church parlor Friday evening at s
O'Clock This is led by the pastor. who takes
up the Sabbath School lesson for the fol-
lowing Sunday.
The ladies of the church are making
preparations for a strawberry festival to
