M. E. Church Notes
Rev. S. A. Draise, Pastor
The New Year social and watch
night exercises of, tho young folks
was greatly enjoyed by the large
crowd present. Although they were
perfectly willing to bo crowded they
all wished they had more room thim
the League room afforded. Tho pro
gram was planned so that they were
seated most of tho time. It consisc
cd of a study of automobiles. They
had a great time in the contests and
honors were about equally divided
between tho "Fords," "Overlands,"
"Hudsons" and "Paiges." But when
this part of tho program was over
there was not a ono but what needed
"gus" and "tires," and ifll kinds of
repairs. Many of them required four
tires and an extra; but the suppl
was on hand and no one needed more
than they received. And tho wny
they joined in the, singing everybody
must have voted it a good time nil
around. Tho close of the evening
was singing "We are building for
eternity," and tho tolling of the old
year out while everybody present
stood perfectly quiet, and then the
glad welcome to tho New Year, as
the church bell rang joyfully, and nil
joined in singing America. Every
body wished everybody a, Happy New
Year and started for their homes.
There were forty present.
Where were those absent Sunday
school scholars last Sunday? Only
sixty-four present. That moans 40
absent. That is too bad. Most of
tho absentees were big folks nearly
all tho primary and junior and inter
mediuto folks were there.
Children, wonder when folks nretoo
big to go to Sunday school. If every
one was too big after awhile theru
would bo no Sunduy school. Wonder
what woud happen if tho faithful
pullers would give out and have to
quit?
