The contest between Harrington
NJ. p. and Milford Presbyterian and
Houston NJ. e. Sunday school is go
ing forward quite rapidly. Our Sun
day school made 237 points last
Sunday which ties with Harrington
again. We had 142 scholars and tea
chers out last Sunday and nearly all
of that number stayed for preaching
services. We urge every member of
the Sunday school to work their
best and try to bring the attendance
up to 200 next Sunday as that is the
last Sunday that anyone will have a
chance to win five extra points for
the attendance of ten Sundays.
There will be extra music in the
Sunday school next Sunday morn
ing, furnished by Mrs. KentOn and
Mrs. Dickerson of Milford. The pri-
mary department and one class of
the juniors will meet in the parson-
age on Sunday morning which will
afford more room in the church for
adults.
The revival meetings which began
last Sunday evening were well at
tended and there will be services
every night except Saturday night
for two weeks.
Edmund Purcell, a solOist from
Cheswold has been asked to come
and spend the day in the services on
Sunday. Special singers from Mil
ford, Harrington and vicinity will
render selections, also our male
quartet will be present This special
singing is in charge of the music
committee which consists of Mrs.
Emory Webb, Mrs. VIM. Chism and
Mrs. S. NJ. Messick. Anyone having
friends that will sing for us, the
committee will be glad of the assis-
tance. Also each evening if there
are any persons who have old fav-
Orite hymns they wish to be sung,
if they will name them, the choir
will be glad to sing them.
