ent on Wednesday evening and con-
dncted the Second and Third Quarter

ficers and stewards OF the church were

Armistice Day was observed In our
church with n splendid sermon by the
pastor, Rev. John Cooper, from the
text found in John 1927 Peace
leave with you, my peace I give unto
you" and the thought expressed thru
out the sermon was that world peace
can be brought about only by the
peace of God in every individual heart
ana life. Mr.. Cooper cited many
ways IN which men have tried to Sc
cure peace by powerful armies and
navies; by treaties: by commercial
trade between nations; by philoso-
ply; by poets, writers and painters
and earnestly declared that humanity
could never obtain peace through
these means. but was longing for the
peace mentioned in the Bible and ex-
efnplified In the lives of Christian
FOLKS.
The choir sang "The Fight Is On
with Miss Louise Shaw organist, and
a pretty flag service was given by the
children Of the church. In the even
