vey in a very small measure our
feelings toward then). We sincerely

Epworth League Anniversary
a Decided Success.
Last Sabbath the anniversary ser -
woes of the Epworth League were
preached in the Methodist church by
Rev. Allied Brown, of (4oderich, to
large and attentive congregations.
In the morning the text chosen was
Phil. 4th chap. and 3rd verse from
which stifle sermon was given on the
obligation and privilege of being call-
ed to labor for the Master. The
Junior League members, in addition
to the church choir, rendered suitable
musical selections.
At the evening service the speaker
eloquently and practically dwelt upon
Nehemiah's rebuilding the walls of
Jerusalem. The discourse was out of
the ordinary but will not soon be for-
gotten as the duty of personal service
was pointedly emphasized and illus..
Crated. It was most applicable, to the
occasion and was stimulating and
optimistic. A male choir of 30 voices
sang two rousing choruses and lead •
the regular praise service. Church was
tastefully decorated with flowers.
