(Thursday. Aug. 1)
At the Church
The Sunday morning service was
one of deep reverence and real
worship. Mrs. J. D. Morrison at
the organ began a soft prelude
which was taken up by Mr. Mor
rison as he sang a medlev of hymn
stanzas as a vocal meditation.
Congregational participation in
prayer, song, reading, and re
sponses seemed to come from
hearts and souls rather than as
mechanical action. According to
his usual custom on the first Sun
day of the month, Pastor Perry
brought a tender, loving message
to help in better understanding of
the Lord’s Supper, which ordinance
followed the sermon. For the last
time of their summer vacation Mr.
and Mrs. J. I). Morrison of Char
lotte were guest musicians, and
many people tarried after the ser
vice to express appreciation for
the gracious way in which these
gifted friends have helped.
The Royal Ambassadors are
working, and hoping to realize a
goodly sum from their “God’s
Acre” project because the proceeds
will go to Japan to help missionary
Worth C. Grant establish a chapel
building in Yoshioka. This is a
town of 25,000 people where no
Christian work (either Protestant
or Catholic) has ever been done.

Friday night there were some tense

stole home from 3rd base, break
ing the tie in favor of Ridgecrest.
Again on Monday evening R. A.’s
