church working in teams sent out
by the pastor.
Goals for attendance have been
set and everyone is anxious for the
first Sunday of the services to come:

der to put the program across as
successfully as last year when all
the goals set were reached.

this service and an effort will be
made to keep a record of those at
tending the services during the pro-
grams.
1 The Junior Christian Endeavor
Society will change it's time of meet
ing this week from Friday afternoon
to Sunday morning at II O'Clock. 1t
is thought that this arrangement
will be helpful to all concerned. The
parents will be able to attend the
church services in the morning
while the children are in the c. E.
meeting, and it will give the chill
dren their time free during the week
after school. Mrs. Eliza Dutton is
the superintendent of the Junior
! Society and all parents are asked to
send their children to Sunday school
and then have them remain for the
C. E. service.
The NJ. P. Church here is making
arrangements to entertain the Coun-
ty C. E. Convention to be held April
1. C. T. Vent has been named as
the county registration chairman
and all registrations from the coun-
ty will be sent to him. Awards will
be given again this year for the
number of registrations sent in
and it is expected that very keen
competition will go on between the
societies. Other committees on en-
tertainment and decoration in the
local church will be appointed soon
The Ladies of Reynolds M. 2.
Church will meet at the home ot
