Evening Republican, Volume 20, Number 34, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 9 February 1916 — Union Service. [ARTICLE]

Union Service.

The union service at the Christian church was well attended last night. The main audience room was weU filled with earnest Christian people, While we would have been pleased if both rooms had been filled, the value of the service to the community cannot be determined by numbers. All the resident pastors were present and Rev. J. Budman Fleming, of the Presbyterian church, preached a very interesting and appropriate sermon. It was fitting that at the first of a series of union meetings our attention should be so helpfuly called to the great thought of union in a divided Christiandom. The audience followed the thought of the sermon with helpful reactions. The offering of the evening was given to the charity board and the people responded with a liberal sum for this worthy community -service.
