praise of the music of the evening.

In its sweetness and powar.
The sermon of the evening was
preached from the words found in
Genesis 6:24: “And Enoch walked
with God. and he was not. for God took
him." The subject was "The Story of
the Saint Who lilnded'Well." A pro~
found impression was made by the
sermon. and the service was one long
to be remembered an uplifting anti
spiritually helpful.
The rendering of Neldllnner‘s “The
Lord Is my Shepherd" was artistic and
enjoyed by all. Mr. Albrecht's solo:
“A Song of Praise." was finely inter
preted and beautifully rendered. All
will remember this.sorvice as thor-
oughly helpful and full of the spirit

There was an attendance of 110 men
at the pastor's lliblo class at l2 o‘clock.
and much enthusiasm was manifested
during the steering. An effort is be-
Ing made to have an attendance of 100

expected that this ntunherudll be or-
