FINLAYsON METHODIST CHURCH

The regular Sunday services were
held in the Finlayson Community
Methodist church Oct. 81, with the
pastor preaching on the subject:
"A Prophetic Nation Missing its
Mark"
''It is tragic when the people of a
nation think that they are prophetic
nation. We cannot today escape any
God-sent impulse or order, and we
cannot escape truth. 1t is easy to
stay away from the path of duty:
Rome, as nation, ran away from the
opportunities that she had; political
parties have departed from the real
issues of the day and do not face
them as Lincoln did when he said:
This nation cannot exist half slave
and half free' Churches are fast
losing many of the opportunities that
they might have had to serve others;
individuals have left the beaten
path of duty, and none of them have
succeeded to any great extent. Which
way will you go?"
The first meeting of the Vesper
discussion club was held in the
church Sunday evening. 1t was de-
cided that such an organization, with
the membership including all the
young people of the community, be
continued during the winter, and a
committee was appointed to locate a
suitable place to meet. For the
present the discussions will take place
in the church at o'clock on Sun
day evenings. Sunday evening the
discussion will center on the topic
of voting: Should voter" A week
from Sunday the discussion will take
the form of an informal debate on
the subject: "Can I LiveSa Christian
Life in This Community" Everyone
is invited to come.
The Sunday services in Finlayson
and Rutledge will be held as usual
next Sunday. A program commem-
Grating the signing of the Armistice
will be put on. The subject of the
sermon will be Patriotism"
