favorable, a community singing is
being planned for nest Sunday
night.
This singing will be held at the
Perry Methodist Church and will
begin promptly at eight o'clock.
It will be Rtrictly a song service,
consisting of solos, duets, quartets,
and congregational singing.
Not only are all the churches of
the town asked to unite in this
service, but those of the entire
county. This service will abound
in good music and good fellowship.
It is to stimulate interest in church
going in the community, as well as
to furnish the people with an en
joyable and uplifting service.
Everyone who possibly can
should come and help to make this
a great occasion. Remember the
place. Perry Methodist Church,
and the time, 8 o'clock Sunday
night! Come!
