CHANGE OF SCHEDULE AT
MARTIN LUTHER CHURCH
It has been 24 yearssince that November
11th we originally observed as Armistice
Day. And again our Fighting Yanks are
shedding their blood in the cause of free-
dom, tolerance and decency on
wide battlefronts.
Just as the Yanks swung the
world-
tide to
glorious Victory in 1918, so will our sol-
diers, sailors and marines carry on re-
lentlessly to finally smash the dictators
who would enslave the world today.
So let's pause on Armistice Day and pay
deserved tribute to our Fighting Yanks
... to the heroes of today, as well as to
the heroes of 1918,

the Son of God there is spiritual
darkness in the world. He also
reminded the officers to be install
ed that they, like the moon, would
give no light of themselves, but
would shine only as they reflect
Christ in their lives.
He called attention to the moon
being the new moon, appropriate
because they, as officers of the
class were beginning a new year
with new hopes and new ideals
and should, at the end of the year,
be able to portray their class with
a full moon, repeating the words
of the Master when he said: "Ye
are the light of the World.”

Miss Esther Behrend, daughter

AND MISSION STUDY
ot Giddings, became the bride of
who was called by the ancients the
, Morning Star when visible in the
morning and Evening Star when
visible at that time of day, and
told that she would have to work
both early and late to keep the
class progressing, and that by the
help of God she could "Let your
light so shine before men, that
they may see your good works,
and glorify your Father which is
,in heaven.”
Mrs. L. M. Smith was reminded
that she, as membership vice-pres
ident, should be like Jupiter who
was the brightest star next to Ve-
nus and by doing her work of
bringing in the unenlisted to the
best of her ability she could hear
her Saviour say “Lo, I am with
■ you alway, even unto the end of
the world.”
Mrs. R. C. Donaho, as fellow-
ship vice-president, was told that
as Mars is the first planet with
which we come in contact after
passing the earth's orbit, so it is
that she should be the first to
greet the members of the class
when passing to the classroom,
and teach them to love their neigh
bors as themselves.
