We desire to urge the importance
of heeding the call of our leaders to
make next Sunday a great church
going Sunday. We most earnestly
request every member of our local
Methodist church to be present. Let
us make it a great day. No sub
scription will be taken. Bishop
Hendrix, on behalf of the College of
Bishops, says: "The hour has come-
Gxd's hour and man's hour. Other
churches are also planning to observe
this on a smaller scale, but the world
is challenged to observe the dignity
of the observance of Methodism
which at once celebrates a hundred
years of organized missionary effort
and the close.' of the world s war.
Let the campaign which opens on
May 18th be ushered in by a great
church-going Sunday that shall fill
all our churches, both with crowds of
worshippers and the spirit of faith
and prayer. It is our. Lord who sum
mons us to meet Him in the place of
worship. Let ours be the church s
answer to His gracious Call for serv
ice. He is mobilizing His army. Let
the foundation of hell tremble under
the footfalls of the hosts of the Lord
as the cry goes up to Heaven, the
Lord of hosts is with us, the God of
Jacob is our refuge.
We again urge you to come.
