Church Notes: Our pastor, the Rev.
Clarence T. R. Nelson began a
series of three sermons in consider
alton of our responsibility to three
classes of persons connected with
the war effort, on last Sunday
morning. keeping Faith With
Those in the Armed Forces" was
the subject of the sermon. Pastor
Nelson listed four things we should
do in keeping faith with" or full
filling our responsibility in the
matter. They were: ~ Becoming
intelligent, that is, learning the true
reasons for the war; ~ writing
letters and in every way possible
keeping in contact with our mem
bers in the armed forces; 81 pray
ing for them; az working and do
ing everything possible to make our
own country a better place for the
service people to return.
After the sermon the pastor made
an appeal for an offering for help
ing to send the delegation from the
Twin Cities to Washington to urge
the passage of the bill for a perma-

most generous from the small con-
gregation present and $4,000 were
raised.
