class of men during the latter's
absence on his recent trip
abroad, made a good impres-
sion. His address was along
piacjical 'mes, magnifying the
Bible and its study, and empha-
sizing the importance of reli-
gion and Bible study in the lives
of men.
The closing address by the
pastor was a strong appeal to
the men of the church for co-
operation in Kingdom work—
not merely for the pastor's sake,
but for Christ and humanity’s
sake. He paid tribute to Lhe
women of the church, who are
doing such splendid work in the
various activities of opportuni-
ty for service, and asked that
the men respond to a call soon
to be made for an organization
of laymen in the church for de-
finite work.
The means of co-operation
urged include attendance upon
church services, prayer, finan-
cial support and personal work
in winning the lost to Christ.
Thanks were extended the
women for their generous cour-
tesy in furnishing the banquet.
