the needs and the efforts being made
to meet the needs of the religious
life in our own state.
The mid-week meetings are being
well attended these Thursday nights.
Tonight the pastor is concluding a
series of talks on the Psalms, Be
ginning with next Thursday night we
are to have a series ui unusual inter

meeting and Praise features, for we
would not want anything to displace
this main object for our gathering,
we are going to study the life of some
celebrated character in the world’s
history, and note particularly THE
INFLUENCE OF THE BIBLE IN
THEIR LIVES. The first of these
series will be the life of the late Pres

sident Harding, and the influence of
“his text” in his life.
