Evening Republican, Volume 22, Number 93, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 21 April 1919 — SPECIAL SERVICES WILL END [ARTICLE]

SPECIAL SERVICES WILL END

The special week of services of the First Christian church will come to a close tonight with a baptismal service when there will be thirty to be baptised. These services have ■beeuumasually successful. Nothing but the visible results can be determined, but of these it can be said the attendance at the meetings were largely attended and fifty-eight came forward to take membership with the church. The invitation will be given at the service tonight. A large attendance is expected tonight.

A reeent letter received from Dr. C. E. Johnson by a friend here states that he is very anxious to get home as he has seen all the so-called beauties and wonders of the old country. He further stated that a friend of his, who thought he was extending him a great favor, had recommended to the War Department that he be sent to Russia as a member of the American Food Relief Committee. Which is only another reason that the Rensselaer physician has taken considerable stock in what Sherman had to say anent wars.
