SPECIAL SERVICES AT THE .METHODIST CHURCH SUNDAY On next Sunday morning there will be a special service at the Metho dist Church. The Sunday School gession and the preaching service will be merged and the sacrament of the Lord’s Supper will be administered. Dr. Smith is very anxious to have both the parents and the children at this service so that they can worship together and come to the Lord’s ta ble as families. The family pew has come to be almost a memory but it was a great and good institution and we have no good substitute for it. It is a sign of real spiritual disease that families are seldom seen together in the house of God at the present time except at weddings or funerals. It ic high time that the hearts of the fathers be turned to the children and the hearts of children to the fathers and the prophet warns us that with out this we will be visited by sore punishments from God himself. WEEKLY EXAMINATIONS TO BE HELD TO FILL POSI TIONS IN CIVIL SERVICE So urgent is the Government’s need for bookkeepers that civil service ex aminations to fill positions of this character will be held throughout the United States each Tuesday until further notice. Women as well as men are eligible. Two classes of examinations are announced. A grammar-school edu cation or its equivalent is required of applicants for either class with the further stipulation thaiy those who wish to take the bookkeeper-type writer examination must have had at least six months’ experience in book keeping, and those who would under take the clerk-bookkeeper examina tion, one year’s experience in clerical work, six months of which must have been in bookkeeping. The vacancies to be filled from the register obtain ed from these examinations are in the department service at Washing ton and offer entrance salaries of $l,OOO a year. These examinations are open not only to all citizens of the United Stae only to citizens of the United States but also to subjects of alllied nations who are otherwise qualified for the positions offered. OFFERED ANNAPOLIS APPOINT MENT. On Wednesday Archie D. Sessions received a telegram from Congress man Lee offering him the appoint ment at Annapolis. : It wa sentirely unexpected, and only a week’s time is given for the physical and mental examination, but Archie wired his acceptance, and left on Thursday for Annapolis ac companied by his father, Mr. M. M. Sessions, who also had other business in the east. To qualify for the appointments it is usually necessary for a young man to take a preparatory ecourse covering some months, but Archie hopes to be able to pass or get an extension of the time allowed for preparation. His high standings in school at home is evidence of his mental quali ty, and his gentlemanly character and deportment will help to place him in the front ranks of any company in which his lot is cast. His many friends regret to lose him to Marietta, but join in wishing him succeds and happiness wherever he may go. GG et oqm s i o — ‘PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH. At the Presbyterian Church next‘ Sunday morning at 11 o’clock, the roll will be called. Every member of the church is earnestly requested to be present. That was a splendid congregation last Sunday evening, and they came through the drenching rain. It indi catés what the men’s organization can do. The different committees are hard at work this week to put on a splendid service next Sunday even ing. The choir is preparing an ex cellent program, a quartette by Mrs. Wyatt, Mrs. Dobbs, 'Mr. Hemp, and Mr. Beyerle, with Miss Bailey the brilliant organist, will be a marked feature of the service. The sextette who rendered three choice selections last Sunday even ing is under promise to sing again’ next Sunday evening provided they do not return to Camp Gordon. Dr. Patton will preach at this ser vice on the Unbecoming Conduct of a Sixtecen year old boy. It will be interesting for each one to seek to ascertain the scripture in which this ugly lad is found. A large re ception committee of men will be at ‘the front to welcome everybody, also }a number of ushers to provide com fortable seats for all. On the whole ‘we are looking forward to a great service. l The men of the church have as sumed all responsibility for the Sunday evening services, and they extend a cordial invitation to all the people of Marietta to be present. * Young people especially invited to lattend this service. | e ] Marietta Auditorium lb B ’ .Thursday Night, April 11th { e et 'The Marietta U.

IN MEMORY OF GRADY WEEMS. The many friends of Mr. Grady Weems were profoundly grieved up on learning of his death last Monday April Ist. He had lived in our com munity practically all of his life, and was loved by all who knew him, It seems doubly sad for one, in the zenith of life to be snatched away so suddenly, but most comforting is the thought that he was prepared fo this sudden call. He has been. a member of Bold Springs church the past two years. Grady was sick only a few days, and said when he was taken that he would not get well, but was recon ciled to death and spoke very beauti fully of his willingness to answer the Master’s call. Realizing That death was e’en a gain to those Whose life to God was given, Gladly to earth his eyes he’d close, To open them in heaven. Our hearts melt with sympathy for his aged Qfather‘ and mother, Mr. and Mrs. Wash Weems, his brothe: Mr. Rondolph Weems, of Sardis, and sisters, Mrs. Merner and Miss Ophe lia Weems. The latter to whom Gra dy was especially devoted. Her be ing almost an invalid the last two years during which time he cared for her as only a kind and loving brother could. ~ We can only point to them the God in whom he trusted, who has power ;to heal their broken hearts, and re member = i His wills are past . His work is done, And he is fully blest. : He’s fought the.fight, The victory’s won, He's entered into rest. : A FRIEND.
