CHRISTIAN CHURCH NOTES.
the
The eleventh anniversary of
organization of the church was fit
tingly observed, as was advertised
would be done, last Sunday, and at
the roll call 235 persons responded.
Though it was quite cold In
morning when the crowd assembled
beautiful lawn at the home;
the
of A. E. Wood, the place was
well sheltered that the basket dinner
was a most enjoyable occasion. The
afternoon meeting was largely
tended by the members of the church
and a number of visitors from other
min
so
at
churches who listened to the
ister's sermon upon the ideal relation
between church members. In
evening the minister went to Cald
well where he preached the bacca
laureate sermon to the graduating
the
class of the high school in the pres
ence of a very large audience assem
bled for that purpose in the opera
house. The night was spent in
hospitable home of Supt. and
P. A. Bout Ion, who were parishioners
of Minister Peters years ago in Mls
the
Mrs.
souri.
Owing to the pressure of iucreas
been
'°g duties the minister has
compelled to surrender some of the
country work, so that for a time the
Tuesday
evening service at- Fruit
id and the Little Willow service
are to be suspended.
The time of the state convention
draws on apace. Keep in
June 1S-20. Plan now for it. There
is not too much time to get ready.
Miss Ellen Hill made the good coa
mind
*essiou last Sunday morning and adds
another name to the large list
young folks who have come into the
during-eii's
of
membership of the church
the last year?
Next Sunday is Mothers' Day in
c,,r church service. Every mother
who bas a child in our Bible school
and every mother who is in any
way interested in the work we are
trying to do, and every other mother
in the town who does hot regularly
attend other church services, is in-!
vited to be present. As a token of
work
of
white flowers will be presented to
each visiting mother and the ser-!
our interest in the mother's
and her problems, a bouquet
mon will be an attempt to pitch a
high note for our vocational life.
The evening sermon will be
pecially evangelistic, and
es
everyone
who thinks at all about the! questions
of the higher and best life and the
»1«» who has trouble with those ques
tions, is offered a most sincere in
vifation to be present. May be we
ca n help a little; we'll try anyway,
