Classes for every one. Sermon at 11, ‘ ‘Thy Kingdom Come. ’ ’ The Christ ian Endeavor society will hold its last service of the present contest. The special effort put forth by the young people has been gratifying. The even ing service will be made more attrac tive by the large choir. The subject of address is: “The Valley of Dry Bones.” This is an evangelistic ser vice and an after service of prayer and testimony will be held for all who wish to remain. The loosing side of the con test in the Presbyterian Christian En deavor society will entertain the winn ing side on New Year’s Eve. The Brotherhood and Mizpah class is also invited to enjoy the evening. The ex ercises will be held in the Endeavor room of the church. Evangelist Kellums will begin a ser ies of meetings at the Christian church tomorrow. These meetings will con tinue until January 1. Commencing. Sunday evening Janu ary 2, and continuing until Sunday evening the 9th, the Presbyterian, Bap tist, Christian and Methodist churches will hold a series of meetings together. The gatherings assemble at the usual hour, 7:30 p. m. Each service starts off with song, prayer and testimony, followed by a sermon. The Methodist church will be the convening place Sun day and Monday; the Christian church" Tuesday and Wednesday; the Presby terian church Thursday and Friday, and the Christian church the final service on Sunday evening. Every effort is to be made to make these gatherings sea sons of great blessing, and it is. hoped that the results shall more than com pensate preachers and people for the extra efforts put forth. Next week the complete program of speakers and top ics will be given. The Methodist Brotherhood held a most interesting meeting Tuesday even ing in the church. Three new members were initiated into the craft. • At the close of the program the brethern went down to the gymnasium where an appe tizing lunch had been prepared and was served by Messrs. Hall, Sanford and Monroe. Judging by the comments these members will often be asked to serve in a like capacity. “King Saul” was presented at the Armory on Wednesday night, and will be given again tonight—Thursday. The play is under the auspices of the Royal Intermediate school, and is staged very creditably. Rehearsals have been in progress for several months. The sev eral participants acquitted themselves splendidly, and received applause af ter applause from the large audience present last night. “King Saul,” Judge Willis Perkins’ sacred cantata, deals directly, a s its title would indi cate, with the life of the first king of the Hebrew nation, a time through which there was no grander, excepting the reign of David and Solomon, which immediately followed Saul’s reign. The cantata opens at the rejoicing over the conquest at the Amalekites, wherein Saul so nearly obeyed God and yet the prophet told him that complete obedi ence was necessary then as now in or der to please God. And inasmuch as Saul tried to shift the responsibility on to the people, God rejected him and in his downward path he finally goes so far as to consult a familiar spirit. David receives praise because of his valor, and this makes Saul more angry and he tries to kill David. Saul’s army is overthrown in battle and Saul and his sons are killed. David is crowned king, and the cantata closes with all sounding the praise of the new king. Those who take parts in “King Saul” are: Saul, King of Israel, A.

With only a short time remaning be fore Christmas, the rush becomes more pronounced and business people are meeting the demand. All of the elev enth-hour buyers are being heard from. The belated male shoppers must yet do their buying. Some storekeepers aver that the absence of men is to be ex plained largely by the fact that the average man has his wife or sister or mother do his Christmas shopping, But that does not relieve him from the ne cessity- of buying something for his shopping representative. The store keepers quite generally are expecting a rush of male shoppers Friday night. Concerning the increase in trade over last year, it .has- created everywhere among business people spirit. The in creased sales over one year ago makes everybody feel good. It has surpass-' ed expectations, and all are happy in consequence. Frame Your Xmas PICTURES HOLIDAY R. W.
