Laymen’s Patriotic Vesper Services.

On Sunday evening, at 6:30 o’clock, on the court house lawn, the churches will unite in a patriotic Vesper service, at which laymen will speak, national airs will be played by the band and sung by the audience. Music Band Invocation .Rev. J, C. Parrett Music ...., “America” My country! ’tis of thee, Sweet land of liberty, Of thee I sing; Land where my fathers died! Land of pilgrims’ pride! From every mountain side Let freedom ring! My native country, thee, Land of the noble, free, Thy name I love; I love thy rocks and rills, Thy woods and templed hills; My heart with rapture thrills Like that above. Let music swell the breeze, And ring from all the trees Sweet freedom’s song: , Let mortal tongues awake Let all that breathe partake; Let rocks their silence break, The sound prolong. Our fathers’ God to Thee, Author of liberty, To Thee we sing: Long may our land be bright With freedom’s holy light; Protect us by Thy might, Great God, our King! Bible Reading .... Rev C. O. Johnson Music ..... “Battle Hymn of the Republic” “The Historical Fourth,” L. H. Hamilton. “Patriotism and Noise,”’Prof. I. N. Warren. “Patriotism and Religion,” O. H.
