In the morning Rev. Grantham
will talk on "Man of Destiny." In
the evening Rev. J. T. Alexander
will speak on. "The Laboring Man
and the Church," As this is one of
the most important subjects in the
Uuited States today, this servict
should be unusually interesting.
Rev Alexander has been a mem
ber or labor unions and is thorough-
ly acquainted with the conditions
of which he will speak. Hear his
talk next Sunday evening. It will
do you good.
