AT PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH
Rev. j. r. Galley, Pastor, Announc-
es Services For Week and Sunday

Last week the First Presbyterian
Church had the love of God and
His providing power bountifully
displayed in her midst. A check
was received from a good friend
and former member of the church
which enabled US to pay off in its
entirety the obligation which we
had assumed in renovating our
property. If we were personally
to receive a gift from a friend we
would be very prompt in visiting
that friend in his home and telling
him how much we appreciated the
gift. Let us then, all come to the
House of God and thank Him for
the gift which He has led our
friend to give to us.-The Young
Peoples Meeting, which would or
dinarily be held this evening will
be postponed until next Thursday,
October 18th, when it will be held
at the home of Mr.. James An
thony.-The regular weekly choir
practice will be held in the church
Saturday evening at 7:30. = The
following services will be held on
the Sabbath: 10 a. m, Sabbath
School; II a. m, the Quarterly
Communion service will be observ-
ed. Any one who desires to unite
with the membership of our church
at that time will please inform the
pastor or any member of the Ses-
sion. The evening service held at
7:3O, will be our Fall Rally Day
service. At this time the Sunday
School and the Congregation will
unite in giving a great impetus to
the work of the fall and winter.
Our church has so much to be
thankful for, and such great
reason for serving the Lord, that
we should all rally to His cause,
and come to this service with
which we open our winter program
Let it not be said that we are un-
grateful, but rather let it be shown
by our active participation in the
program of the church that we re-
joice in the blessings which God
hath given US, and that we give our
lives to Him in return. Please
note that there will be no Young
Peoples service on the Sabbath
due to the combined evening SER
vice.-The usual mid-week service
of prayer will be held in tn Chapel
Wednesday evening at 7:3O, at
which time we will discuss the re-
quested subject, The State of the
Soul After Death
