CHANGE IN THE HOI B
OF SERVICE FOR
SUNDAY NEXT ONLY
Owing to the fact that exercises
are to be held at the Court House at
8:30 Sunday morning for the draf
tees who leave at 9:45 for Camp
Lewis, the Holy Communion will be
celebrated at the Church of St. Philip
the Deacon at 7 o’clock Sunday morn
ing instead of 7:30. The service will
be a half hour earlier. As this serv
ice lasts only about thirty or forty
minutes all who desire to do so can
attend and have plenty of time to get
to the Court House to bid goodbye
to the boys. Why not come to church
first and offer special prayers for
those called to the service of their
country?

of candlestick making, which has ;

i which are not supplied with gas, « hnv j

Tlie capture of Jerusalem by Eng

centuries was to .stand as the center
and pivot of the Jewish nation and i
faith. Tin- time catne. however, when

later by the onslaught of Titus, the
Homan enipegor. who encompassed tin

Following this, for a considerable
period the cky remained in Christian
