Congregational Church.
Opens the new year with a new
olan. The system to be more
thoroughly explained.
Because of several requests for
•he teachings of the Congregn
tional church to be made more
public and the people given an
opportunity to understand them
better, the pastor will give a por-
tion of the morning service to the
■xplanation of the teachings. He
will show who the Congregation
alists are, what they believe, and
what is their mission.
There will be a change in the
evening service, also. 'Ibe motion
pictures will be discontinued for
a few weeks, and the evening will ^
lie given over to the discussion of
the timely topics that were dis-
cussed in'part at the morning ser-
vices a few months ago. I his
change is made because several
have expressed themselves as be-
ing somewhat in the dark as to the
[truth of some of their early be-
liefs, and would like to hear the
modern ideas, but could not get
to the morning services. It is to
he hoped that these evening ser
vices will prove as helpful and get
as many people into the right way
of thinking as the* morning ser
vices did when these same sub-
(jects were discussed before.

of Mr Iwi,v ■ first Sunday in January.
