services were both unique and inter
esting. The church was decorated
with large American flag and nu-

Der by the choir, "The Flag" and
a solo, 1.-THE Star-Spangled Banner"
sung by Mrs. N. c. Davis, were very
effective. The sermon by the Rev.
Howard Davis with Gideon and his
hosts" as the topic, was dOubly in

teresting when the congregation re-
as a chaplain in the late war, and the
