Pastor Gets Radio for Christmas.
According to a report just given
out, the Methodist Episcopal Church
has Just closed one of the best years
in the history of the church. The
pastor and officials are very CRATE
full to the members and friends for
their hearty cooperation, which was
necessary to obtain the results.
Plans have already been laid for the
new year and their goals may be un-
der the following headings: First,
An average of one new member add
ed to the church every Sunday. Sc
cond, Bible school increased by 100.
Third. more devoted reverence for
the Lords Day, to keep it Holy.
Fourth, mid-week prayer meetings
increased 100 per cent in attendance.
Fifth, Make both branches of the Ep-
worth League and important agency
for Christian Training. Sixth, Gull
tivate human helpfulness, cooperate
in community betterment. Seventh
Church papers and periodicals OF the
church in each home. Eighth, In
fusion of the evangelistic spirit into
the whole program of the congrega-
ton. Ninth, A family alter in every
home and daily intercession for the
unsaved.
Probably one of the happiest fami-
lies in town during this Christmas
was Rev. E. H. Collins. His many
friends knew he enjoyed radio pro-
grams and several days before
Christmas they quietly took up sub
scriptions toward the purchase OF a
radio. The committee was very sue
cessful and the day before Christmas
the radio was installed, much to the
surprise of the pastor and his fam
ilv. The Ladies' Aid Society of the
church also presented them with
fine Christmas dinner.
