'Evangelical Church
The Sunday School is doing
excellent work under the leader
ship of the devoted Superintend
ent. Mrs. Hall. They arc in the
midst of their preparation for
the celebration of the birth of
the Christ child. The program
and the manner of carrying it
out will be unique, and while a
little out of the ordinary, I am
sure will be one of the very bost
entertainments that the people of
St. Johns have enjoyed in the
celebration of the "Yule Tide."
The "rally day" was one of
the most successful in the his
tory of the church. $G00 was
raised in cash and good subscrip
tions, (this includes a few dollurs
that was pledged since "rally
day") the church prior to this
time, only owned one COxlOO ft.
lot which gave us but little room
aside from that occupied by the
church and parsonage. Mrs.
Smith who owned the lots adja
cent to the church property, and
who hns always been interested
in the church, offered the church
a lot adjoining for $G00 which is
not nearly what the lots are sell
ing at, so the church secured it
which gives the church a splen
did property and plenty of room
when they are ready to build a
modern chinch, although at pres
ent wo have a neat attractive
place of worship.
The revival services arc plan
nod to begin the first Sunday of
January. The pastor exiiects
the assistance of Hev. J. A.
Goodo of Portland. These ser
vices will bo announced later.
A good fellowship meeting or
a rally was held on Wednesday
ovening. Revs. Poling and Pratt
were on the program for short
toasts. This was interspersed
with music and the program was
followed by a lunch in the base
ment. A most excellent spirit
exists among the members and
friends of the church and the
outlrok for the future of the
church is bright indeed.
Regular services each lord's
day at the usual hours, with
Sunday School at 10 A.M.and K.
L. C. IC. at 0:S0 P.M. A cordial
invitation extended to all.

A Dos Moines man had an at
tack of muscular rheumatism in
his shoulder. A friend advised
him to go to Hot Springs. That
meant an expense of $100.00 or
more. Ho sought for a quicker
and cheaper way to cure it ami
found it in Chamberlain's Lini
ment. Throe days after the first
application of this liniment he
was well. Kor salo by all dealers.
