unexpected blessings Of Christ at
trying times when often we best can
appreciate them, was the sermon sub

Our Pastor preached the funeral
services Of the late William Wesley

story OF a Medford man who devoted

Shiloh Church School will observe the
Christmas season this Sunday with
Christmas Tree and appropriate ex-

Most clubs elect ordinary secretaries
and expect them to do all the work.
If your club hasn't a publicity or
press agent, you are away out of
date, folks. And did we hear runor
of a local serviceman's club for this
community?
