J Sunday school services will be I held Sunday at 3:00 p. m. This is J the regular hour on first Sundays, ' but we want to be on time so there 7 will be no delay in the church ser . vice. Mr. Shannonhouse, rector of J the Pittsboro Episcopal church, will > preach at 3:30 p. m. Let’s not for get the hour. The attendance at Sunday school ) Sunday was below par. Let us each be considered a committee of one to [ help better the attendance for next 5 Sunday. In this work, as in a great ’ many other kinds, there is inspiration ’ in numbers. In our rush to meet trains, secure the Sunday papers, and * to be a part of the many little things that can keep us from the regular Sunday service—if we just let them — let us try not to confuse our sense j of values and neglect the really I worthwhile things of life for a few hours of passing pleasures. Too, our continued absence from Sunday school has its influence on those who do try 1 to make the work a success, for they become discouraged and wonder after all if it pays to strive for the bet ter things. So many times when we are careless about such we regret the lost opportunity later. But one of the tragedies of life is that we pass this way only once. “Lost yes terday some where between sunrise and sunset, sixty golden minutes, each set With sixty diamond seconds. No reward is offered for they* are gone forever.” i pi Harris Family Have Reunion On Thanksgiving Day the home of Mrs. Dora O.
