AVENUE M. E. CHURCH

Following the new time schedule of
services for the first time last Sun
day, it was most gratifying to greet
two hundred and fitty-seven persons
at the Sunday school session. The
prea ching service which followed was
also very largely attended.
Looking into the near future pro-
gram of our church three items in
cite our immediate interest;
First, our centenary clock. Have you
seen it? If you have not seen it we
are sure you have heard about it, All
contributions made to the centenary
fund during this month are registered
on this clock. II has been our great
privilege and pleasure to have mis-
sionary pastor, Mr.. Edward, Everett
Dixon, represent our church in China
Shall we keep him there? If so, the
hands of the clock must keep moving
swiftly enough 10 Strike twelve by Oc-
tober 28th.
Second, the loving cup party. You
read. in The Chronicle last week con-
cerning the social evening to be held
at the chapel on Wednesday, October

ing out plans to furnish you with de-
lightful evening. The more members
and friends of the league who come to
participate in the evenings program
the greater the amount of fun to be
shared by all. So come yourself and
bring others with you.
Third, the evangelistic campaign.
Just as far as possible we trust that
all social and business engagements
will be laid aside during the series of
special meetings which are to begin
October 2Sth. Evangelist George w.
Cooke, of CASTLE, N. Y, and his gospel
singer, Harold Vignuelle, join the pas
tor on the 31st. Mr.. Cooke is a man
of world travel, and comes to us with
forceful gospel message. Mr.. Wig
nuelle's experience as a singer is also
worldwide, having recently been with
the Orpheus Choir of Cleveland, Ohio,
in Wales, where they won the inter-
national singing trophy. He comes to
us to organize a great chorus choir Of
men and women, boys and girls that
through the ministry of song some
souls may be reached that might not
otherwise be reached. AS a church de-
voutly interested in the salvation of
mankind let us begin now to pray for
a great revival in OUR midst.
