Pastor Phillips and the Shi-
lob Junior Choir conducted
early morning services at Mat
tappan Staae hospital last Sun
day morning before the regular
morning services at Shiloh. This
is another example of Our un-
selfish church program, extend
ing service to those outside the
community. Such a program is
to be both commended and en-
couraged. Many churches to-
day are similarly extending
their services. Measured by
many standards, Shiloh for it's
size and facilities, is doing a
far better job both inside and
outside the community than
many people yet realize. A fit
ting response of appreciation
calls for more and more COM
munity families to contribute
to the church work. The Shi-
lob Women's Day Rally next
September is designed to en-
courage more community church
support for the religious temple
which has provided our basic
baby ChriStenings, Baptisms,
Church Schooling and final rest
ing place ceremony for over
half a century; certainly the
most influential institution in
fluencing our lives in this COM
munity. Rally envelopes are
now available to everyone, wish
ing to further the work of the
church. Let's all donate to our
community church.
From Brockton comes a no.
tice that the Messia Baptist
Church, Rev. John Clark, Pas
tor, is presenting the church
annual Lawn Party, Saturday,
Aug 7, at the home of Mr.. and
Mrs. Matney, 1872 Water street,
in Rockland, from 3-S P. M,
with free admission, and re-
freshments for sale. With plenty
of space for parking and base
ball, there will also be races,
fortune telling and prizes. All
Medfordites and others are in
yited. Rockland is reached after
motoring along route 2 to 1913
to Columbian Street, Weymouth.
Once in Weymouth, follow Col
Umbian street to the square OF
the same name and then take
Union street left to Rockland
Center. 1t looks like a pleasant
drive next weekend, with Mr.
and Mrs. Matney as your genial
hosts. Of course this invitation
Is also open to all Of our out
of town neighbors who read
the column. From weekly
Guardian reports 1t is noted
that more and more activity il
taking place among our neigh
bors around the birmingham
Weymouth. Brockton areas
which are attracting more peo-
pie from the hot crowded cities
The vicinity around the South
Shore, including the Cape, viii
Of course, grow and grow.
The West Indies vacation trip
by the Hugh Bosf1elds and form
err Medfordites, Mr.. and Mrs.
Bill Robinson of Wellesley, was
inioyed immensely by all con-
cerned. Islands visited included
Haiti, the proud little Republic
of French background. The
trip was made by motor and
plane and many interesting
souvinirs and pictures were &C
CURED during the trip. While
nothing official is being released,
there is at least some thought
being given to a plan to spon-
sor annual community travel
groups to places like the West
Indies, Mexico, Canada, etc.
The first expression of this plan
came from Shiloh and in years
to come, this program could be-
come a valued reality, first with
a small group and later expand
ing. Travel to-day is now made
conveniently by part payment
and credit. About as convenient
as buying TV set. And around
the same cost. So, our church
leaders are keeping pace with
the times and the church is
a most important busy center
of community life deserving the
fullest support of all our CT
items. Help it grow. Perhaps
by 1916, Shiloh groups will be
taking planes for trips abroad
as calmly as taking buses for
Salem willows. Church folk
know nothing is impossible I'M
der God. The founders discover
ed that over a century ago.
