to teach in Sunday school programs.
The council will be held in the
Methodist church of PaSco on each
Thursday evening beginning jan
uary 9th, from 7:30 pm. to $50 p.
m. Two classes or discussion groups
will be held in each of two periods
and an interval of relaxation in
worship will be carried on in be-

attend who will be interested in
any one discussion or perhaps in
one during each of the two class
periods, thus enabling them to get

not requiring any more of them
than their interest dictates. BY the

follows:
The New Testament, It's Con-

The Christian Life Council will be
run on strictly non-denomination-
