BORDER BRIEFS

Our pastor, Rev. D. P. Young, has
begun a special series of sermons
on the Advent of Christ. He will
continue this on Sunday morning,
and the climax will be reached on
Christmas Sunday morning. Our
choir director, Mr.. C. c. Underwood,
will also esum leadership of the
choir at this service. We are happy
to welcome him back and share in
his bereavement.
The attendance at all services
last Sunday was reasonably large
in spite of our recent cold wave.
The Lords Supper, of which a large
number partook, was served for the
last time during the current year.
The cold weather proved to be no
disadvantage to the Sunday school
children, who continue to add to
their membership each week. An
interested group of young people
attended Epworth League Sunday
evening. A lively discussion was ably
conducted by Miss Bernice Brown
on the subject, "Is My Life Pre-
destined?" After a spirited ex-
change of ideas, the Epworth Lea
guer were served refreshments by
Mr.. Warren Kingsbury and Miss
Odessa McAdams, who made a very
acceptable host and hostess.
