That Beacon Light is still active
was evidenced by the wonderful
program given Sunday, April 18th,
by the Young Peoples Missionary
Volunteer Society. The attendance
was very good and the offering
was far above what most of US ex-
pected, which shows what can be
accomplished when everyone does
his best.
Every patron received lovely
boolmark in the form of a cross
with Bible promise on ia re-
hinder of "The Challenge of the
Cross" the title of the play given.
Pm sure all received a spiritual
feast as well. That we should bear,
not wear, the Cross of Christ.
Everyone on the program did his
or her best to make it a success.
Miss Marlys Griffen, an out
standing young musician and one
who will some day be a leader
among our group and an honor
to her parents, was the guest art
list.
Mr.. David Faisson, a prospective
future violinist, accompanied by
Miss Annabelle McQuery, did much
to make the program a success.
That the old folks can do some
thing besides talk was proven by
Mrs. Morton McQuery. The read
ing was "Love Wrought All This"
Remember Beacon Light well
comes you at all their services for

Baptist Church. The church is
sponsoring a Junior church night
under the direction of Mr.. Harvey

chance to display their talent.
There was large attendance of
party eight present at the B.Y.P.U.

ject was "Christ Is Teacher"

The President said Conner had not
filed claim for benefits under the re-

quired, and he saw no reason why
Conner should be singled out for
preferred considerat ton to the ex-
