Rensselaer Semi-Weekly Republican, Volume 41, Number 82, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 2 July 1909 — Patriotic Vesper Service. [ARTICLE]

Patriotic Vesper Service.

Since Sunday is the Fourth of July, it has been deemed appropriate to make the union vesper service, which is to be held on the court house lawn at 6:30, a patriotic one. Members of the band have volunteered their services to assist in furnishing music for the occasion. The general subject for the evening is, “The Meaning of Christian Liberty.” “Civil Liberty," Rev. H. L. Kindig. ’’Religious Liberty,” Rev. J. C. Parret. "Personal Liberty," Rev. O. E. Miller. "Liberty of the Other Fellow," Rev. G. H. Clarke.

As Rensselaer is not celebrating this year it is hoped that the citizens will turn out and make this a notable Christian patriotic celebration. If weather is unfavorable the meeting will be held in Christian church at 7:30. . J
