Church of the Redeemer. (Rev. Edw. Fulenwider, Pastor). Nothing preventing the following pogram of divine services will be ob served at the Lutheran Church of the Redeemer next Sunday: 11 a. m. there will be an "Old Folk's Service." .The pastor will preach a special sermon on the subject. "Com pensations of Old Age." Text, Psalm 71:18, "Now also when I am old and greyheaded, 0 God, forsake me not; until I have shewed thy strength into this generation, and thy power to every one that is to come." An old man is like an old tree. He is the product of the storms and the zephyrs, the sunlight and the frost of the years. We should not forget to respect, comfort, and cheer those who are growing old. For such a man wearing his gray hair as a halo o1 righteousness is a witness of the innumerable mercies of God. So the Psalmist prays that he may be spared to give his testimony to the genera tions that shall follow him. In this sermon an attempt will be made to say something that will encourage, comfort, and cheer those who have reached the shady side of life, and also help those who are rapidly ap proaching the same period. 8 p. m. there will be the first of a series of Sunday night evangelical revival services. The sermons will be short and practical. The pastor will remain in the church a while af ter each service to talk with any who are interested in the salvation of their souls. The subject of the first sermon in the series will be, "The Most Stu pendous Utterance Ever Recorded in Human Language." The sole pur pose of these services will be to help those who are trying to live Chris tian lives in this world of sin, and encourage those who have not done so to enlist in the army of Jesus and march forward under His banner to help save the world. We are in the day. The opportunities are ours. We must all realize our individual re sponsibility. The singing at the night services led by the young men of the college and the young people of the congregation is inspiring. The public is cordially invited to all the services.
