CHURCH SERVICES

" United Brethren Church -8. P.

In that early day this Was a period of preparation, for the larger things of the kingdom. The United Brethren church has taken as their theme for this period, “Thy Kingdom Come, Thy Will Be Done in Barth.” If you have not as yel received your folder with the special textg for this period for each day's meditation; please ask the pastor for it. Ag all services will follow these thoughts.

10:35 Morning worship, subject, “Conditions of Discipleship,” Specia] music by the choir. It hag been very encouragng to see the large num ber of people who are interested enough in the kingdom to support the worship service of thely church. After all the real test of a Sunday schoolclass is the desires that it creats, and the direction of the irterest jt brings. I am sure that much of the credit of the large attendance at the morning worship is the result of the fine instruction given by our teachers. And the splendid example that they get themselves.

6:30 Senior and Intermediate Christian Endeavor, with a program that will challenge you, be sure and be present. 7:30 Evening: worship subject “Making Disciples.” Special musiz an hour of worship that will fit yon for the labor of the week that is before you. Your supprt in the past has helped to make these ' services what they have been, they will be in the future just what you make them, and your suggestion will always be welcomed ,that we might better them.
