week. or a month.
The situation further has been
complicated by the informal agree
ment reached by many senators to
remain in session here until Pres

forthcoming increase Z World war

These senators want congress to
have an opportunity to ass it over
his veto, in case he declines to sign
it.

the house is scheduled for passage

ST. GEORGES

It is hoped that number of the
children attending the church
school of st. Georges Church will
find a way to attend the Daily Va
cation Bible School that is to be
held at Bethel M. E. Church, Ocean
View, under the direction of Miss
Lindseth, beginning Monday, June
8. The school will convene every day
except Saturday, 1or two weeks,
starting at 8 o'clock each morning
and closing at 1880. The work will
consist of worship period, Bible
study, recreation and handwork. Sta
tistics show that the average child
does not receive more than 25 to 30
hours of instruction in the Sunday
school throughout the year. When
we stop to consider that the two
week Daily Vacation School gives
that amount of instruction to the
child. it's value is easily understood.
It would be a splendid thing If a
bus-load of st. Georges boys and
girls might be regular attendants Of
the school. Other details of the pro
gram will be given later.
