all under the direction of Rev.
William G. Harpold, pastor of the
Urbana Methodist Circuit.
The invocation was an inspira-
ton given by Rev. James p. Kerr
of the Boyds Presbyterian
Church. The opening prayer was
given by Rev. Ben F. Hartley of

And a most wonderful message
was given by DR.. Charles F.
