Now that the festivities connected with the twenty-fifth anniversary of our church are all over we can say that the services, as well as the social meetings which followed them, were enjoyed by all who attended them. There were an unusual number of visitors present from neighboring churches, and this together with the fine attendance of the members of St. John's more than taxed the seating capacity of the church at every servict>. After the service on Thursday eveninethe Ladies· Aid and Missionary society together with the two Young People's societies sprang a surprise of their own on the pastor and his wife. Not to be outdone by the men of the church who had presented the pastor with a beautiful watch. these sr·cieties equipped the parsonage with the very latest in gas ranges. a gift to the pastor's family. 1\leettn~s During ~ recent ~ek eleven meetings were held m the church and in the homes of the church with a total attendance of ~ell over four hundred.
