 heard. but, judging from the interest shown and plans proposed at its first meeting of this year. It will be in- creasinGly felt as Il vital influence in the life Of the church and commun- ity during 1924.
 l am slire that the organization of our ladies needs nc special com mendatiou from me. for theirs is q "going concern" They have lived up to their reputation during the past year. and that is saying good deal. l know that we sl heartily a pre- ciate what the members of La ies' Aii society are going and has done for thi, church. They are always 10 b. count 'd upon and when w igh I iu tho balance" they are not found wanting We are glad that they have church. but have helped along ou- city hospital and in a few instances where there have been cases of sTe- cial need. We hope that as time zoe. on they may become increasingly useful along these lines.
 We welcome 10 our family of or ganizatious tonight repre- entatives from the recently organized society of young people. known as the "f'rieud- ly club" l feel that this club is helping 10 meet a real need ot our young people, whose importance both to the church of the present day and of the future can not be oy yerestimated. l feel that the Friendly club is gaining ia, fY,ta etr ic T serving of the friendly cooperation of the other organizations of the church.
 l feel sure that n word of appre- citation of our organist and quartet is not out of place in this connection. As q church. l believe We are very fortunate in the musical part of our church service. We only hope that the concert so acccptably given this past year can be made an annual af- fair 10 which we wrll look forward with rrcst pleasure.
 The purchase of a rotospe,d ma chine during the latter part of the past year will, is has reason to be- lieve, increase the efficiency and effec- tiyeness of the church and its sev- eral organizations and serve to keep pastor and people in closer touch with one another.
 With this brief general survey of the year that has passed. let us now for few moments turn in prospect to the year lying just ahead. l hope that none of HIS are completely satis- fled with the attachments of the past year. They may be good, but there is "better' yet 10 mock us, The close Of the present year upon which VIC arc just entering must not find us in just the same place as we are now. We must continue to advance. Allow mo to suggest just few lines along which l believe it behooves us to 20 forward.
 In the frs, place [ am very anxious that we make our Sunday morning service of worship n more generally attended rallying point weekly for all the members and departments Of the church. This is the one time during the week when we should all--young old, and middle ged. get together for tho service of worship. prayer in- sirnetiou and inspiration. We all need the help and inspiration of worship
  going to nllfull our place in life with Christian joy. peace and love. and are going to keep the allied organ- aaiions of the church true Co the Ideals and purposes of Him who s the great head of the church. Is il not well for us to remind ourselves that neither the church scbool nor the Ladies aid society nor the Mpn's club nor the Friendly club, nor the board Of trustees nor tho standing commit tee are sufficient unto themselves They are only parts of the body which is the church Of Christ, and Il is their purpose. not to serve them selves but 10 serve the church. Let us make then. this year a special ef- ford to or-ordiuate the work of all these organizations and let lis take as our working slogan: "Al for each, and each for all and each and all for Christ and the church.
 To this end, Furthermore. let us see that every one on our membership roll has some definite thing to do in connection with the work of church and its allied organizations. besides regular attendance at tho Sunday morning service Of worship. No one can expect 10 remain vitaily inter ested in any organization In which he hasn't at least one particular duty in connection with it. To case there is anyone here who perchancc hasn't found anything to do or hasn't boen given definite job I hope that's uch n one wtli not fail to volunteer his services 10 the pastor or to the prcsi- dents Of any one Of th" allied orgsni- cations.
 If the members of any organization arc 10 work efficiently and happily together they must know each other
