A playlet—“AA’ings of Eagles” fea
turing the student loan fund of the
Presbyterian church will be given
Sunday '.night at the from
eight to eight-thirty o’clock. The Stu
dent Loan Fund of the Presbyterian
church was launched in 1009. Up to
March, liVJtl, loans had been made to
more tlum sixteen hundred young peo
ple who had thus been enabled to at
tend college. Of this number, more
than fifty per cent were young men.
'Flit' fund now amounts to nearly three
hundred thousand dollars, the larger
part of which has been secured
through Memorial Scholarships of
SOOO.OO and upwards. These funds
permit the loan of $150.00 for each
of the four year college course. These
Memorial Scholarships offer wonder
ful opportunities by which perpetual
rememheranee of father, mother or
other near and dear Relatives and
friends may he.translated Into service.
It would he a fine thing If Conyers
would establish one or more such
scholarships. A cooperative church

|>e equally fitting, even if begun in a
small way.
Tllie Conyers l'resbjjterlan chuiVh

ship fund Sunday night and cordially
