Our loyalty crusad<· bt-gin~ Sunday. March 24. We will solicit an expression of Intention from all of the unchurched people of w:tom we lParn. Our 1-'JM>Cial etrort will be to reach the Lutheran people of our community who have no church borne In Wilm ette. The fact that you are not a Lutheran should nnt keep you away from our church. \Ve welcome all kinds of Inquirers. There are a. few people ' In Wilmette as in other communities who are prejudicE>d against the Lutheran church. It is probably becau~e they han· never learne d just what the Lutheran church stood for. The Lutheran church il'; the mother of Protestantism. She ha~ betn true to her trust ~ince hpr beginningand today Is pure In doctrine and in practice. She belie\·es the Bible to b e the Word of God and her ministen; preach Jesus Christ crucified-, the Redeemer of the world. She has no rule book for her member& conduct, believing that the truth should be .the criterion of life. By the truth we mean the eternal truth of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. "YP !"hall km,w the truth and the truth !'{hall mak·· vou free." Our church Is willing to co-operate with every agency for good in the community, yet they do not believe in lobbying either Ln Springfield or in WashIngton. You will find the Lutheran church ae solid as the rock upon whi(·h it is built. "Thou art the Chrif;t, the son of the living God." Special holy week st:rvicN:; will he held In our church from March 25 to :\farch. !9, Inclusive. The history of Christ's last days on earth before his crucifixion will be read and commt:Jnted upon by the pa~ tor. Preparatory Rervlce will be held on Wednesday evening and the Holy Communion will be celebrated the following night. This yearly custom has found contdderable favor among our people. The Holy Communion was instituted on a Thursday evening nearly two thousand years ~o. \\re like to think of the sacred a880Ciatlon1-1 of Its institution as we partake upon the anniversary. The Sunday sch0(1J ~upE>rintE-ndent was very agreeably surprised by the rel'ponse ot the children to his chal~enge to be on time for the ope_ ning of Sunday school la.8t Sunday. Only three or four were late. That is an excellent record. In addition to this the attendance mark was one above the average goal which the auperlntendent had mentioned. The Luther league is meeting Friday night, March 8, at the home of Ted PeterBOn, 1202 Chestnut avenue. Unchurched ~.oung people are cor~ially t.nvlted to join our young people's organization.
