The Baptist and Methodist church
es united forces last Sunday and held
a big union service in the Baptist
church. Rev. Harry A. Wann of the
Methodist church delivered the ser
mon.
Sunday was notable as Armistice
Sunday and was also chosen by Pres
ident Harding as a suitable time for
pastors to devote a part of their ser
mons to the topic of disarmament.
The disarmament conference meets
in Washington this week.
The church was crowded to the
doors. The attendance was the larg
est that has been out for a church
pervice in many months. A choir
from the two churches delivered
some excellent selections, A duet
was rendered by Mrs. W. A Correll
and Mrs. M. R. Baker.
The sermon of Rev. Wann was de
voted to the subject of disarmament,
the text being taken from Christ’s
| rebuke to Peter when he warned his
follower to put up his sword for they
that take up he sword perish by it.
The present situation of the world
was held to leave no choice but dis^
armament and ruin.
