The Glee Club Sings a Number

----------
Methodist Church Notes

The Revival services at the Methodist church increase in interest each night and much spiritual progress has been made. On Sunday night the pastor talked on "The Influence and Responsibility of Leadership." On Monday night the subject was "The Thirteenth chapter of Corinthians, the Sanctification Chapter of the Bible." This was a unique presentation of an expository sermon on that beautiful chapter.

On Tuesday night the Y.M.C.A. philanthropist, Mr. Arthur Pearson, of Topeka, gave a lay sermon, the subject of which was "Bible Study, Prayer and Personal Touch."

On Wednesday night the pastor held a special service for the Sunday School Board, giving an illustration of the Bible and its usefulness, by drawing a tree representing the Old and New Testaments.

Thursday night was used as "Official Board Night," and the pastor spoke of the Board as the Reflectors of a church or the pastor's eyes through which he sees things, and the church's torch by which they get light on how, what, and how much to give and do for the church.

Friday night is especially for the Young People, and the Epworth League. At the service there will be special music. The Glee Club sings a number, the Choir has charge of that contingent known as the "Epworth League Choir," who will also sing for the first time in public. Each member of the League is to wear a white carnation, and it will be something worth while.

On Sunday morning the pastor will preach on "The Dignity of a Son of God in Ellis," at night from this subject "The Things that Find us Out."

The services will be held every night next week except Saturday night, and every afternoon. There will be special singing every night and the choir will have charge. Every Christian man and woman in Ellis is invited to attend and help in this campaign.
