and Savior, Je!-us Christ. This great
event, this divine tragedy will be em- j
memorated at St. James Lutheran

for a service of such . duration may
be found in the words of record
And it was about the sixth hour,
and there was darkness over all the
earth until the ninth hour." Ihiring
this service the pastor will preach at
intervals 'on each of the "Seven
Words" of Jesus from the cross. A
service,-"The Death of Jesus." has
been prepared by Pastor MaeLauh
lin and will be used on this occasion,
as well as by a number of Lutberan
pastors at other places. Those Chris
tian people who do not have the priv
ilege of attending service in their
own churches at this time are most
cordially invited to worship with the
people of St. James. Each person is
at liberty to come and go as he wish
es, remain for all this service if he
can, or having only a few minutes
ion worship.. Xeel . free to. spend that
time at his disposal in God's house
on good Friday.
Vespers again at 7:30, using
"Jesus' Holy Passion," and address
by the pastor, "Dead and Buried."
