We feel that we have the church sehcol organized better now than it has been for some time, and Mr. Kleinhesselink is to be congieteu- iated on the way he has things organized. We believe that he has a group 'of teachers now serving that will fully co-operate in building up a really fine school. Classes are offered for everyone, and everyone should be in a class somewhere. Church school opens at 9:45. Next Sunday will be \rally\ day in the church, also. Sum- mer vacation is over now and we have a most promising year ahead. None could help being pleased with the progress made this fall, and it bids fair to ex- pect a full attendance at all Ser- vices in the near future. Were- ers are needed and we have lois of talent that will be thrown into the work soon. If you have a talent undiscovered to US, Come around and consecraee it to the service of the Lord and the up- lifting of mankind. It has been most gratifying to learn of so many folks who are finding a friend and bring- ing them out to worship ser- vices on Sunday. That is the - kind of spirit. that we need and will build up the - - e b urc h. Church service will begin at 10:50, commencing this Sunday. B. E. Albright.
