Beginning on New Year’s Eve and continuing thereafter on the last Wed- night of each month during the win- ter and spring months. a cafeteria supper will be served by some or- ganization in the church at a nominal price, jhe idea being not to make, a little money, but to alford the mem- ‘bers and friends of the church an op- portunity to come direct from work and there meet the other members of the family for the evening meal that night instead of going home. The plan is to serve the supper from 6 to 7 o'mlck to be followed by a gmat‘ Praise and Prayer Service from 7 to (‘1 o'clock. CLASS 50. Fixed. Members depos- CLASS 25. Fixed.
