INTERESTING SERVICES AT
FIRST BAPTIST LAST SUN

Attendance at all services last Sun
day was very good. The encourage
ment which this gave the pastor seem
ed to be reflected in the deep earnest
ness which characterized the sermon
at both hours. In stressing the need
OF greater faith in God, especially in
times of stress and strain, such as
many are experiencing at the pres
ent time, DR.. White seemed to touch
the hearts of his hearers with an I'M
usual tenderness.
Sunday school attendance is very
encouraging. Looks very much like
we will reach the four hundred mark
for which we are striving" Live Cos
pei singing, augmented by good or
chestra, makes this a pleasant place
to spend an hour or two on Sunday
morning.
AT the morning service the church
granted the pastor a leave of alb
sence in order that he and Mrs.
White may send'a vacation with some
friends in Florida. They will be away
about two weeks.
