he was here the attendance at
Sunday School was 18.
Dur­
ing the past year the average
attendance has been
in the
seventies.
Also during this
period the membership of the
church has increased over four
times. A t the annual business
meeting last week he received
a unanimous vote o f confidence
to serve the church the coming
year.
In the spring of 1956 a build­
ing program was launched and
an annex containing 4000 feet
o f floor space was built. This
includes Sunday School class
rooms, Junior Church auditor­
ium, kitchen and office space.
Many hours of labor as w ell as
money was donated for the an­
nex.
The church has a Boys’ Club
for boys 9 to 12 years of
age.

ft-EMouiAL i > ay ! Our prayers o f gratitude incense the
heavens for those whose lives have bought our
freedom upon the altar o f war’s cruel sacrifice. Forget
the valiant dead? We can not breathe one breath or live
one moment which has not been bought by their heroic
blood. We can not, we will not forget.
But what o f the living heroes, the four million who
wear the wounds of selfless struggle, the living veterans
disabled for our sake, who daily die the living death of
pain? Shall they have no part in our remembrance on this
hallowed day? These are they who with virile valor faced
the advancing foe, with calm courage stood their ground,
with forthright fortitude bore the wracking wounds—
and won the victory that America might live in the whole­
ness and unity o f freedom’s peace. These are the four
million who rode into the valley of death and endured the
maiming blows of bitter conflict that the wounded world
might be healed by the blessed balm of liberty.
With sorrowful heart often have I seen them— those
once crushed upon the battlefields of Europe, broken upon
the broad Pacific’s isles, torn asunder on Korea’s heart­
breaking hills. Proudly they will carry their scars of battle
to the grave, yet wonder they must at our unmindfulness.
Shall they, then, be forgotten on this day of memories?
Shall they who bled to save us all not know the thanks
and help of those they saved?
America, God-blessed land, embrace your injured
soldier sons. In the blessed Name of Christ, Whose wounds
were borne fo r u3, hold out your hands to console, to
strengthen, and to heal our veteraps disabled by the
brutal strokes o f war. Take to your heart those
whose hearts poured out their purple blood for
us, fo r peace, that freedom’s holy light might
never dim.
