is Club was entertained by the pub
lie relations committee, composed
of AL Humes and Bill Burke. by the

Golden text is: John lis. No
man hath seen God at any time /;
the only begotten Son. which is in

When the even was come, they
brought unto him many that were

healed all that were sick.
A correlative passage from the

Christianity as Jesus taught it was
not a creed, nor a system of cere-
monies. nor special gift from a
ritualistic Jehovah; but it was the
demonstration of divine Love cast

not merely in the name of Christ.
