Christian Church.
Hy 11. F. Jonkh.
Greetings to all the strang
ers. We bid you welcome to
our church home. Make it yours
during your stay.
We can prove it by last Lords
days' attendance that the sum
mer slump is not here.
A treat for everybody is
found in the Bible lessons used
in our school. Get your share
next Irdsday morning at 10
o'clock.
We way differ in matters of
human opinion but we must agree
in the things on which God has
spoken.
Fathers' Day will be ob
served next Lordsday morning
in both the Bible School and
morning service. Come and en
joy this day with us.
A very persistent old lady
is making eyes at Uncle Sam.
From indications, she is about
ready to propose. Just what the
American people will say is a
matter of conjecture.
43,104 additions to our
ranks have been reported since
January 1st, 1914.
You can't fool all of the
young people. Somehow they
have discovered that the young
peoples' meeting at 7 o'clock
Lordsday evening is a live one.
Cheer up! Oregon is go
ing dry. That is, if every moth
ers' son and daughter of us get
busy.
lion t use all or vour hatri
otism on fire crackers and pop
next Saturday. Save some for a
great patriotic service next Lords
day evening at 8 o'clock.
Whether we will be bene
fitted by the ministry and mes
sage of the church will depend
on two things: Whether that
ministry and message can be
' verified by the Bible and what
our attitude is toward the reve
lation of truth contained in the
Bible.
It is some distance from one
Lordsday to the next. You need
the midweek service with its rest
and spiritual refreshing. We in
vite you to visit us next Wednes
day evening at 8 o'clock.
That Normal class in the
Bible School has outgrown one
room and indications are good
that we'll have to have more
room yet.
"Come thou with us and we
will do thee good."
