E. B. DuBois, who was recently commissioned a captain in the United States army and assigned to the intelligence bureau, continues. He has had no more loyal supporters than some of the leading spirits in the Washington branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, but a storm of indignation broke loose when the members read and editorial in the July Crisis, in which he advises the colored people to forget their special grievances and unite in fighting the German foe. The editorial follows: "This is the crisis of the world. For all the long years to come men will point to the year 1918 as the great Day of Decision, the day when the world decided whether it would submit to military despotism and an endless armed peace—if peace it could be called—or whether they would put down the menace of German militarism and inaugurate the United States of the World. "We of the colored race have no ordinary interest in the outcome. That which the German power represents today spells death to the aspirations of the darker races for equality, freedom and democracy. Let us not hesitate. Let us, while the war lasts, forget our special grievances and close our ranks shoulder to shoulder with our white fellow citizens and the allied nations that are fighting for democracy. We make no ordinary sacrifice, but we make it gladly and willingly with our eyes lifted to the hills." At a stormy meeting of Washington members of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People the sentiments expressed in the editorial were regarded as a surrender on the part of Dr. DuBois of the principles for which he and the association have been contending. It is also said that the editoria board of the Crisis strongly objected to Dr. DuBois holding both the editorship and the army captaincy. It is also rumored that the board stipu- THE DAYTON FORUM her to repeat the entertainment. On Friday evening the Higgin Sisters will appear at the Cloverdale Baptist church again.

Since he received the degree of doctor of philosophy from Harvard University in 1895 Dr. DuBois has been regarded as one of the ablest and most consistent advocates of equality for all in America. He has at all times spoken in a high and uncertain tone against discriminations based on the accident of birth of race. He was one of the strongest critics of the policy of the late Dr. Booker T. Washington regarding racial interests. He is said to have written the appeal sent to Europe a few years ago protesting against race discriminations in the United States. An able and forceful writer, he has been dreaded by those who would discriminate against the race. His outspoken utterances have aroused some race leaders, a notable instance being an editorial that he wrote a few years ago in which the Negro newspapers were severely criticised. He is also said to have had serious disagreements at times with leading spirits in the National Association regarding policies that should be instituted for the race. Dr. DuBois strongly criticised the discharge of the 167 soldiers for alleged complicity in the shooting up of Brownsville during the Roosevelt administration. He has also strongly condemned in the Crisis segregation and other antiracial measures started at Washington during the present national administration. Scott His Sponsor. It is said that Emmett J. Scott, special assistant to the Secretary of War, strongly urged his appointment to the intelligence bureau. He is rumored to have had considerable opposition in securing the appointment, but when he insisted that the giving of a commission to Dr. DuBois was necessary to unify various elements in the race President Wilson and Secretary Baker signed the commission naming the editor and publicist. DAYTON, OHIO, FRIDAY AUGUST 2, 1918 Editors Conference Yields Big Results President's Strong Stand Against Lynching- Colored Nurses in Army and Probable Early Recall of Col. Young to Active Duty, Follows Appeal for Justice Bids the Race to Persevere Washington, D. C., July 29.—Already there are numerous evidences that the recent conference of Colored Editors and leaders held in this city in June, which was called by Emmett J. Scott, special assistant to the Secretary of War, at the suggestion of the war department and the committee on public information, to consider the relations of the 12,000,000 Negroes in this country with the general government itself, and to discuss ways and means how each might cooperate most effectively in the work of winning the present world-wide war, is bearing fruit. Three results of the most significant character have been worked out within the past fortnight that fully justify the holding of the conference and other issues not less far-reaching are well on their way toward a satisfactory conclusion. The first in importance and human interest of the helpful results that may be said to have grown directly out of the recent conference of editors, and the co-operation of Negro leaders and friends of the Negro people, is the frank, positive and unequivocal declaration of the President of the United States against the mob spirit, which has been sent to the four corners of the earth by cable and through the newspapers of the country. President Wilson's firm stand for law and order ranks with the finest of the great state papers that have emanated from the White House, and it has electrified the entire country as it has seldom been thrilled before. It will be remembered by those familiar with the proceedings of the conference at the new interior department building that the full force of the leaders who spoke was marshaled in opposition to the lynchings, burning and inhuman mob violence practiced mainly against colored people in various sections of the country and that this lack of respect for the common rights of citizens was given as the most potent cause for the unrest among Negroes. This was the underlying reason for bringing the conference together from far-distant points. The proceedings of the conference reached the President through the committee on public information, of which Mr. George Creel is chairman. The President's message is a wholesome rebuke to ruthless violators of the law, who almost invariably think they will be immune from punishment by the courts or by an outraged public opinion. The colored people are jubilant over the timely and straightforward pronouncement of the President of the United States and that such an utterance from the highest authority in the land will cause a wave of patri- MOORFIELD STOREY ENDORSES FIGHT BOSTON, Mass., July 20.—Great interest has been taken here in the attitude of Hon. Moorfield Storey as expressed by himself toward the National Colored Liberty Congress which called 115 delegates to Washington from 30 states and at the close of a whole week's sessions with five nightly mass meetings had a race petition presented to congress and entered in the records of the house, asking for the enforcement of democracy for Colored Americans. The interest was greater because of Dr. otic enthusiasm among them and inspire a keener impulse to assist in the many constructive war activities throughout the Republic can not be doubted. The second outstanding achievement growing out of the conference is the opening made for the employment of the large number of colored trained nurses who have patriotically registered their names with the American Red Cross society for work among the colored troops on the field and in the base hospitals. The conference strongly urged that these skilled nurses be used at the earliest possible opportunity. According to an announcement made through the office of the Special Assistant to the Secretary of War last week, plans have been laid by the Surgeon-General of the Army to have colored nurses assigned to six of the base hospitals in this country, where approximately 38,000 colored troops are stationed; namely: Camps Funston, Dodge, Grant, Taylor, Sherman and Dix, with a practical certainty that these skilled agents of mercy will have a further opportunity for service among the colored soldiers over seas. With the constant increment of colored men in the army the number of women to be utilized must be correspondingly enlarged from time to time, with a constantly expanding area of usefulness and spiritual influence. This signal triumph has heartened beyond measure the women of our land, who are called upon in time of war to make the heaviest sacrifices—and yet are the most willing to sacrifice and to serve when called upon to do so. This is the second big achievement that may be justly credited to the recent conference and it will prove to be a vital factor in alleviating the unrest that has been breaking down the morale of Negro Americans. The early recall to active duty of Colonel Charles Young, the idol of the young colored men of red blood and sturdy public spirit, also urged by the conference, is before the War Department. It has become known that the Secretary of War from the very beginning has sympathetically considered the whole matter of utilizing the valuable military experience and services of Colonel Young, who until his retirement some months ago, was actively identified with the regular army. The two concrete results here referred to, and the third one now "on the lap of the gods," would seem amply to justify the recent conference of Colored Leaders and Editors, who sacrificed time and business interests to crystallize requests into tangible realities, and demonstrate the value of intensive co-operation with the National Government. DuBois' editorial in The Crisis against agitation in war time and the attempt of Major Spingarn to prevent the congress. Without being consulted at all, Mr. Storey sent the following letter to the Executive Secretary: 755 Exchange Building, Boston, Mass. July 8, 1918. Dear Mr. Trotter: I congratulate you on the success of your Liberty Congress. Persvere, "Who would be free himself must strike the blew." Sincerely yours, (Signed) M. Storey.

In the foreground at this historic spot a Tommy outside his dog tent is enjoying his rations. Colored Troops Lauded WITH AMERICAN ARMIES ON THE MARNE, JULY 25 The attack of a part of the 93rd Division of American Colored troops on the front running Southward of the Chateau-Thiery has been stubbornly contested by the Huns but early today the black troopers gained an advantage in addition to inflicting heavy losses took many prisoners and guns. A regiment of these "Black Devils" as they are called by the Germans, known as the "Buffalos" alone captured 300 Germans. The Germans apparently seemed fearful of their safety when they faced these shouting colored boys and in many cases gave themselves up without conflict as prisoners. When informed they would be relieved by fresh troopers after holding their line for nearly 36 hours of continuous fighting they reported that they needed no relief but began pressing "Heinie" back farther. On the northwest bank of the Marne where three regiments of colored soldiers had been holding an important sector for some time these troops made an advance attack to the town of Jaulgonne, driving and capturing the Huns in their dugouts as they pushed forward in their mad rush to put the Stars and Stripes flying over this town. Paris, July 24.—News has arrived here that north of the Ardre, American colored troops along with British and Italian troops were thrown into the fray. The attack of the Italians was feebly developed and rapidly crushed. But the black troops pushed forward with the British and French in support. Between the forests of Fere and Riz, the colored troops are fighting their way forward. Just before the capture of Armenières, our boys ran thousands of Huns from their trenches and a fierce hand-to-hand struggle followed with the bayonet and rifle butt. The boys had planned a raid on the Germans which was carried out with success all along the line. Hundreds of German dead were on the field behind their five mile advance on the town of Oulchy-le-Chateau and Brecy. When they reached Brecy one of their bands struck up a lively American tune which was received with shouting and cheers by these battle-scarred heroes.

COLORED CHIROPODISTS BARRED The following communication has been sent to all colored members of the National Association of Chiropodists: Boston, June 24, 1918. Dr. N. Johnson, Chiropodist, 1311½ S. Jefferson St., Dayton, Ohio. Dear Doctor: It has come to the attention of the N. A. C. that it is an inflexible rule of the Planters Hotel that colored men or women are not admitted to any of its rooms, parlors or cafes. Immediately this became known the other hotels were approached and it was found that the same rules were in force at all St. Louis hotels. The late date of the receipt of this information and the limitations of the powers of the officers of the N. A. C. to make any change in the convention city makes it imperative to carry out the program as voted at the last convention. The officers feel that the situation, which beyond their power to change, is to be regretted most deeply and it is to prevent any unpleasantness to the colored members that this letter is being sent. This is but one of the many difficulties which the present administration has had to meet and it is hoped that you will appreciate our position and recognize the fact that we wish to spare the colored members the humiliation which would result if they were not informed of the conditions which would be met at St. Louis.

SOMEBODY ALWAYS ON JOB "Y' Guy" Can Be Depended Upon to Get Move On In Emergency—Men Made to Feel Perfectly Free and Unrestrained. By CLARENCE BUDINGTON KEL LAND. Paris.—Thirty sailors off an American war vessel hired a motor truck and drove nine miles to get to the Y. M. C. A. club in a famous French city. I asked them why. "Because it's a regular hangout," one of them said, and another added. "Because you get white bread with butter on it, and eggs fried on both sides and coffee with piano accompaniment." As soon as I broke into the place I found why men would ride nine miles on a truck to loaf there from eight until eleven. It wasn't the sort of place folks in the United States imagine a Y. M. C. A. to be. It was a swelteringly hot night, and the broad front steps were lined from end to end with men in khaki and men in navy blue. They were gassing and smoking until the place looked as if the captain had ordered a smoke screen to help him through the submarine zone. From the street you could hear a piano doing business and a lot more men in uniform howling, "Joan of Arc." If the mothers of these boys could have heard that racket their hearts would have dropped off a pound of weight and increased their beat by ten to the second. They sang as if they were glad to be alive. Right on the Job. And then somebody busted up the game. A sailorman came in and made the announcement that the driver of their truck refused to take them back to quarters again, and it was a walk of nine miles on a hot night, or a stretch in the brig for them. Gloom descended. Then somebody turned around and bellowed, "Where's one of them 'Y guys?'" A "Y" guy happened to be on the spot and in a second he was surrounded, not by a crowd of men who were angry or in a mood to demand something, but by fellows who were mighty courteous in an unpleasant situation. That was something worth remarking, and it made you sort of glad to be around. They put the thing up to the "Y" guy and one fellow said sort of bashful-like, "We don't want to act like we was puttin' this up to you. 'Tain't your fault, but—" It was apparent they had gotten the idea somehow that you could depend on a "Y" guy to get a move on him, and the "Y" guy allowed as much. "Sure, it's up to us," he said, "that's why we're here." Inside of twenty minutes he was back with a big truck with a red triangle on the side of it. He tucked the thirty saloormen into it and off they went to keep their appointment with their boss. That, quite likely, is one reason why they rode nine miles to spend an evening in the Y. M. C. A., because they knew somebody was on the job. Like You Owned the Place. Another reason is that you don't have to knock, show a ticket, wiggle your first finger or roll over and play dead to get in. You just walk in like you were there to foreclose a first mortgage on the place. When you walk through the front door you don't run into a lecture hall, though there is one upstairs, and the odor that comes to your nose isn't the odor of sanctity. It's the smell of fried eggs. The cafeteria is the first thing you meet, and if you are wise you get acquainted with it and stay acquainted while you are in this locality, for it is the best and cheapest place to eat in town. I know because I tried several. The most impressive thing about it is the complete absence of an ostentatious welcome. You just help yourself and nobody says a word. You wander in and eat and wipe your mouth on your sleeve and hike upstairs to mess around on a piano or write a letter or play billiards, or to do as you doggone please. You are free. To be able to make a huge number of men feel perfectly free and unrestrained and at home is quite some little accomplishment. I haven't had time to find out how it is done, but the next time I have a party at my house I'm going to try it on. It's the real thing in hospitality. SURPRISE FOR CHURCH FOLKS Called an Hour Earlier for Prayer Meeting and Set to Digging Dandelions. Denver, Colo.—Every member of City Park Baptist church was urgently requested to attend a special mid-week prayer meeting and be on hand an hour earlier than usual. When the "worshipers" arrived the pastor produced an old case knife for each member, pointed to a church lawn badly cluttered by dandelions and told men and women alike to get busy. At the end of an hour of digging the lawn was clean of grease. AT EAKER A. M. E. CHURCH In Defense of His Connection With THE EAST ST. LOUIS RIOT Admission Free Everybody Welcome PORO SYSTEM.—For the Poro System of Hair Dressing call at 266 Hawthorne street. Bell Main 7795. Mrs. Dillard Estell. The president takes this opportunity to inform the Dayton Branch and the public that the N. A. A. C. P. has withdrawn its assistance to Dr. LeRoy Bundy of East St. Louis, Ill., because of its discovery that Dr. Bundy's seeming misapplication of funds given him for his legal defence and his refusal to give an accounting for such funds. Dr. Bundy's idea is that he should "pay his personal living expenses out of funds he may raise," but tells of no definite plan to raise money to assist in his defense. The Association retained at the outset of the case "competent and well-known attorneys to defend Dr. Bundy" under the personal supervision of Hom. Charles Nagel of St. Louis, former secretary of commerce under President Taft, with the approval and consent of Dr. Bundy and had already paid them the sum of $1,500.00, as fees to represent Dr. Bundy. No others were needed than these two law firms; but that the Doctor's general conduct and lack of frankness in vital matters compel the Association to withdraw from him its support. The public is also informed that it ought not judge the character of the official faculty of the organization by the apparent or proved weakness of one, or even two of its members. One swallow does not make a summer. It is desired that some, at least, of the evils which are heaped upon colored people in Dayton be attacked. To this we all say, Amen. But it will be more than stupid to attack blindly or attack weakly. And then, we need individuals, suffering to be bold and courageous; to stick to their complaints if just, no matter what happens; not to sell out; not to compromise; not to be weak-hearted and fearful. Where the people are weak the leaders will be weak. We can kick out a weak leader; but how shall we deal with a weak people? Be strong, my people! SERVICES AT EUCLID SERVICES AT EUCLID Members and friends of Euclid Avenue A. M. E. church enjoyed a splendid discourse last Sunday morning delivered by Rev. John W. Arnold, who is leaving to assist Rev. F. D. Day of Eaker Street in a gigantic financial rally.

The Red Cross Home Nursing class for 1918 is now in progress, and showing much enthusiasm. Seventeen of our most promising women have taken up the work as an emergency and preparatory measure, with regular Red Cross nurse from the Miami Valley hospital in charge as teacher. The class meets each Monday and Thursday evening at the Red Cross headquarters, on West Second street. At the first meeting a splendid talk was given by Dr. L. H. Cox, our Red Cross representative, on the opportunities and demands of the times and the necessity of taking advantage of each opening that is made for us. Since so many of our own nurses in the various hospitals where our women are being trained, are enrolling for over seas work, it is possible that there will be some openings made where some Dayton woman who so desires and so qualifies may enter for the full course of hospital trainin. The 1918 Red Cross Home Nursing class was taken up as an educational feature of the Dayton City Federation of clubs. Mrs. Bertie Ellis is class president, and Miss Nellie Young is secretary. The City Federation will meet in the W. C. A. parlors, 800 West Fifth street, Sunday, August 4, at 3:30 p. m. Every club connected with the Federation is urged to be represented.

CHURCH OF CHRIST (Tabelnacle) The attendance has been exceedingly good for the past two Sundays. Three have been added to the membership, and $71.55 raised for the work. Rev. Bell of this city, preached a very able sermon last Sunday evening and the attention was fine. Some time ago a misunderstanding among the workers of the C. W. B. M. Missionary society was brought to the attention of the officers of the --- church for advice and adjustment, and after a careful investigation the officers suspended the service of the C. W. B. M. board from the membership for reasons which they deemed justifiable. Last Sunday the officers announced at the morning and evening services a call for all the ladies of the church to meet Wednesday evening, that they proposed to lift the suspension on Wednesday evening, and the ladies might re-organize their work. The meeting was held Wednesday evening at the residence of brother and sister Oldham, on Williams street and a large representation of church ladies were present. After a few remarks by the officers and pastor, the suspension was lifted and the ladies proceeded to re-organize. The following ladies were elected officers of the C. W. B. M. society of the Norwood Avenue Church of Christ for the ensuing year: Mrs. J. B. Parsons, president; Mrs. Emma Oldham, vice president; Mrs. John Rice, secretary; Mrs. Lizzie Riffle, assistant secretary; Mrs. Julia Cowan, treasurer. Associate members of the Executive committee: Miss Maud Brown, Mrs. Lue Ryan, Mrs. Carrie Jones. They will hold their public installation services at the tabernacle on Norwood avenue Thursday, August 8, at 8:30 p. m. The installation will be conducted by the state president of the C. W. B. M. board, Mrs. Bradley of Oxford, Ohio. A musical program will be given under the management of their program committee, Mrs. Emma Oldham, Mrs. Julia Cowan and Mrs. Lizzie Riffe. Refreshments will be served after the close of the program. A cordial welcome is extended to all.—Respectfully, J. B. Parsons, pastor.

GRANT Patronize Our Advertizers ALL KINDS OF PRINTING SEA RISK FOR ARMY IS SMALL Infinite Care and Secrecy Attend Transport of Troops to France. MOST TRIPS ARE UNEVENTFUL Elements of Danger Are Anticipated and Reduced to Minimum—No Uniform on Deck Seen When Ship Leaves Harbor. London.—No greater care and secrecy could attend the shipment of royal jewels than is observed in shipping American troops to France. To safeguard his boys Uncle Sam takes every possible precaution, from the time they embark until the transport has reached its destination. He leaves to loophole for the machinations of enemy agents. Usually, as a result of this elaborate protective system, the trip from "An Atlantic port" to the French or English port, as the case may be, is remarkably uneventful. All elements of danger have been so carefully anticipated that the risk is reduced to the lowest minimum. Until the troops and civilian passengers have reached the pier they do not know the name of their ship. It is only a number to them. On the regular troopships it is difficult for a civilian, unless he is engaged in war work, to secure a passage. Those who manage to do so are subjected to close scrutiny, and their credentials and luggage are thoroughly examined. Embarkation Begins Early. Embarkation often begins several days before the transport sails. All good-bys have been said before the troops start for the ship. No relative or friend may accompany them to the pler. This rule applies to the officers as well as to the men. Once aboard, there they remain, no shore communication being permitted. This regulation imposes no hardship other than inactivity. Until all troops have been assigned to quarters and organization has been effected, the men are left pretty much to their own devices. No restriction is placed on writing, and bags are kept open for soldiers' mail up to almost the hour of sailing. This privilege gives many a chance to get off neglected letters and postcards, although these, as a matter of precaution, are not put into the mails until the ship has passed through the submarine zone. The troops also take advantage of an arrangement devised by the government for the sending of "safe-arrival" messages. Telegrams or postcards advising family and friends that the writer had made the trip in safety may be prepared in advance and left in charge of the authorities at the port of sailing. As soon as word is received by cable of the ship's arrival on the other side, the telegrams and cards are released to the wires and mails. Not only is much time saved by this plan, but the soldiers are spared the high cost of cabling from Europe. With the exception of the ship's executives and the officers in military command, no one aboard knows the hour fixed for sailing, and this becomes a favorite topic for speculation among the men. But finally the last soldier has come up the gang plank and the last piece of freight has been stowed away. A busy little tug appears alongside and begins to nose the vessel like a terrier investigating a greyhound. Soldiers Ordered Below. Suddenly there is a blast from the ship's whistle, and then are enacted a few details of the familiar scene which before the war was witnessed whenever a transatlantic liner left its pler. The comparison, however, is extremely limited. The call of "all ashore that are going ashore" affects only a few stevedores and perhaps an official or two, who move leisurely off. What excitement there is is confined to those on the ship. There is none on the pler for the reason that it is now empty and its great doors are closed. Only a blank wall looms there. On deck the movement, instead of being toward the transport's rails, is away from them. Orders have been given for the troops to go to their quarters, so that when the ship is leaving harbor no uniform may be visible to any prying eyes on shore. Slowly the big vessel is coaxed by the tug into the stream, and majestically she gets under way. A few civilian passengers, to the envy of officers and men, hang over the rails and watch the city's skyline fade away. Soon the port is only a blur in a veil of mist. It is safe now for the troops to appear. They rush out on deck, boyishly eager for the sight—strange to many—of the open sea. A glance is cast toward the vague line on the horizon that is home. Then they turn and peer forward into the mystery of the unknown, toward the scene of the great adventure—over there. Likes Hotel: Buya It. Hillsboro, Ore.-William McQuillan liked the Tualatin hotel here. He'd boarded there for twenty years. So when the proprietors decided to go out of business McQuillan bought the hotel for $10,000 so he could keep on living there and enjoy the cuisine. AN EXPLANATION The committee having in charge the show given July 25, at Memorial hall, feel that an explanation is due the public: First, we desire to thank the public for their courteous attention and good natured humor. We also take this means to thank those who gave that part of the entertainment rendered. Our intention was to give the public a good show, and had so arranged, but at the very last minute many of the participants, especially those who were to take part in the minstrel, first part, deliberately "laid down." A few remained loyal and did all they could to entertain. Had we been aware of this before the show started, we would have willingly refunded the ticket money to any who did not desire to stay and dance. We regret exceedingly the failure to stage the minstrel show, and we feel confident its production would have met with the hearty approval of the public. Thanking all who did take part, and the public for their generous patronage and exceedingly good behavior, we remain. The Committee. MARCOS LAND NEW TWIRLER Pryor, the new southpaw secured by the Marcos, is said to be one of the speediest pitchers seen in these parts in some time. He formerly was a member of the Indianapolis A. B. C. champions, but was landed by Manager Matthews two weeks ago, in his first game with the Marcos he beat the crack Farmland, Ind., team on the latter's diamonds. The new left-hander is scheduled to work for the Marcos either Saturday evening or Sunday. Saturday night at 5 o'clock the Marcos will go up against the Dayton Wright Guards, and this twilight affair with the Moraine City tribe is expected to be one of the best contests of the season. The latter have not yet made known their line-up, but they have a number of former professional players in their ranks, and there is little doubt they will be able to make the Marco gang step some to win. Sunday at 3 p. m. Matthews' aggregation will meet their old enemy, the Dayton Gyms. Both games will be at Westwood Field. THE N. A. A. C. P. The executive committee of the Dayton branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People will meet in regular session Thursday evening, August 8, 1918 at 8 o'clock, in the Y. W.

MARGARET'S NEWS On the other hand the children of this world, the pleasure-loving the gamblers, the worshippers of sex-passion, the thief, the liar, the deceitful, they are most astute in the prosecuting and procuring of their desires. They use every known blandishment, every art in vocal speech; every eye-compelling form of beauty in dress, and what the vulgar call gumption—the study to excel in shrewdness—bad shrewdness in order to understand those they wish to win, and in order to compass their end. Their end ultimately is evil, but they think of the present good only, and so study out how to win that good. Some will even go so far as to bring disgrace upon home and family, shame upon friends and relatives, in the pursuit of that evil which to them is a good. They are incarnates of gross selfishness. They give not a fig for anything nor any one. Our Lord takes the cleverness of these misguided people, purifies it and recommends it to the children of light. Be wise in your goodness; be clever in your religious dealings; be astute in your Christian will. Be not weak, soft, effeminate Christians. Be strong in your loyalty to Christian ideals. Be ready, apt, capable and wise in your Christian understanding and life. Have faith in God. Services Sunday, 10th March 10 a. m.—Sunday school. 11 a. m.—Holy communion and sermon. Your are cordially invited to these services. A hearty welcome awaits you. Come early.
