do for those less fortunate than we
in our own fair land as well as in
foreign lands for as we SOW, so
shall we reap.

The program which the WSCS
presented last Sunday evening for
the Week of Prayer and Self-De-
nial' was most inspiring. Mrs.
Ethel Johnson was program chair
man with Mrs. Mabel Kirkby as her
assistant and they did a wonderful
job.
The guest speaker for the occas-
ion was Mr.. John Rogers of Milford,
the Lay Leader for the Dover Dis
trict of the Peninsula Conference.
He gave a wonderful message on
Prayer. He took his text from Mat
thew 1923 which reads, "And when
he had sent the multitudes away,
he went up into the mountain apart
to pray; and when the evening was
come he was there alone" should
say everyone seemed to be inspired
and / hope it made some of us put
our thinking caps on and remember
what sincere prayers can do for
us, for Prayer is the key to Heaven.
On Saturday, October 81, begin
ming at 10000 a. M, house cleaning
of the sanctuary and Sunday school
