METHODIST CHURCH NOTES
Benj. Kuhler, Pastor
There was nearly a house full out
last Sunday morning to hear Dr.
Sehreekengast, who failed to arrive,
owing to matters that required his
presence in Lincoln. We did not get
the telegram until too late to change
the announcement. But I)r. Schreck
engast promises to come Sunday, Dec.
21st. We shall look for a full house
again on that day.
The Sunday School also took a
jump in attendance. We find in our
calling that a considerable number
have sickness in their homes, which
cuts down attendance. We hope this
will not last long . We invite you
again to all the services next Sunday,
you who have no churph homo.
Rev. Johnson announces that his
subject for next Sunday evening will
be “Prohibition.” Services to be held
