Vblks working in town--including •Mae of the store owners--were taking up all of the space along Main Street. . Farmers coming in to shop never found a place to park, and sometimes had to lug stuff a half mile or so. Some started to do their buying -in other towns. Finally, store owners and farmers had a gettogether-- with the result that the empty field near the depot was fixed up for all-day parkers. Now farmers get their shopping done comfortably, and the merchants have a better place to park than they had before. Just took a little friendly co-operation to make everybody happy. From where I sit, most differences can be ironed out by just talking things over--maybe with a cup of coffee or glass of bear--and seeing the other person's side ef it Next time yon have a problem or a little difference to settle, why net try just that?

Beginning on Sunday, May 8, regular Sunday evening serving will be every Sunday, instead of only twice a month as heretofore. We have for a long time felt that a house of public worship should not be dark and closed in the evening of the Lord's Day. We believe that we owe It to the people In our community to keep our doors open to welcome one and all on Sunday evenings as well as in the mornings. Our full and' regular schedule of services from now on will therefore be Sunday Bible School at 10 a. m., Sunday Morning Worship Service at 11 a m Sunday Evening Gospel Service at 7:45 and Prayer Meetings on Thursday evenings at 8 o'clock. The Evangelistic campaign closed last Sunday night, with a great message from the Word by the young evangelist, the Rev. Floyd Ankerberg of Chicago. The meetings were on the whole, well cttended and wonderful in spirit. The preaching, as well as the musical program, was excellent. Rev. Mr. Ankerberg will address the Youth for Christ Rally in Mc- Herny on Saturday evening, May 7. This meeting will be held in the high school auditorium. Mother's Day will be observed at the Center on Sunday, May 8. The mothers will be our honored guests at the Sunday School Session and at the Morning Service.
