the Rev. Vinol E. Hills of Whining

er of the church to preach the ami
, veTsary sermon at 1920 o'clock, the
i invitation having been gladly accept
ed by Rev. Hills and his former
members are looking forward to his

The audience last Sunday morning
, was quite small both for the Sunday
School session and for preaching
services, due to a number being away
for the holiday period.
A patriotic anthem by the senior
choir preceded the sermon and was
thoroughly enjoyed. The subject for
the morning was Our Fettered
Christ" and the lesson and text were
from St. Matthew'S Gospel, 18th
chapter and verses SO to 5S inclusive
Jesus rejected by his own cOun-
trymen.
