Methodist Church on Sunday eve
ming and enjoyed the inspiring. ed
ucational film David Livingstone
in Africa" A six reel motion pic
ture story of the life and work of
that famous missionary, saint, sci
enlist, DR.. David Livingstone. The
feature was obtained and presented
by the Rev. Alfred W. Strickland,
pastor of the Methodist Church.
In whole-hearted cooperation, the
Rev. L. Rodney Boaz, pastor of the
Presbyterian Church, assembled
that church's young peoples socie-
ty at the manse and marched with
them to the Methodist Church in
ample time for the evening SER
vice.
Earlier in the day the Methodist
congregation had the pleasure of
welcoming a former pastor, the
Rev. C. w. Strickland, who occu-
pied the pulpit. At this morning
service a large service banner was
dedicated to the young men in the
U. S. armed forces, from families
affiliated with this church. The
blue stars representing these youths
have been placed on the white field
in the form of large V.
1t is interesting to observe that |
the elder Rev. Strickland was the
pastor here during the World War. |
Thus father and son of that family |
chance to be Frankford's wartime
pastors.
