C. E. MEETING INTERESTING

The Christian Endeavor meeting
at the Presbyterian Church on Sun
day evening was very inspiring
and interesting one. Miss Elizabeth
Stidham was leader and from the
remarks by the different members it
was shown that much thought had
been given the topic. Charles john
son and Mr.. Bennett gave a very
well rendered duet. These young
men, though members of the Chris
ton Endeavor Society Of the M. P.
Church were very willing to help us
with our meeting and proved quite
an addition to the program. Remem-
Der these meetings are held every
Sunday evening from to 8 o'clock.
Come and enjoy them.
