Stop! Read! Come! Be sure to

will sing special numbers at each

solOist. The people of Williamsville
Church give everyone a most hearty
welcome to spend the day at this old
church. We especially urge all those
who ever worshipped here, or who
have relatives buried here to be
present. After being closed for a
great number of years this quaint
little church was reopened for SER
vices ON July 2, 1888, by one who is
deeply interested in the Masters
work. Many improvements have
been made, and now this is an oP-
perfume time to come and see them.
This will be fine time to renew old
friendships and bring back to your
minds the days of yore. Come, thus
saith the Lord. Let us go into Gods
Holy Temple and worship Him, and
give thanks for our many blessings. !
Remember the little old church by
the side of the road will swing it's
portals wide for you on Sunday; so
don't dissappoint her.
