lent prayer. Then all sang "Thert
is rest for the Weary," then the

timber; third, the goodwill tourfqurth,

stating that the publishing house
with its building and equipments
cost $000,000 and the total b; lance
due was $108,000. *>

we listened to a, real soul stirring
message-from the pastor, the same

much research on the part of the

St. Luke 11:3, subject, "The Lord's
Prayer is potentiil power, in a
christian's life." Very fine and lip
propriate music was rendered by
the choir.
At 4 o'clock the funeral service
of Mrs. Angeline Jamison was had.
At 7:30 p. m. the evening service
began . The pastor took his
text from Isaah 63:1, subject, "A
plan of salvition promised." The
message was well received. Every
one enjoyed the same. Despite the
fact that there were a number
of other attractions on Sunday
night, the attendance at the evening
services was good.
