Rally Day Service at
Reformed Church
Rally Day service at the Reformed church yesterday morning
was an event of more than passing interest and one that will go down in the
annals of the church as the greatest rally day yet held. A number of boys who
were absent in France last year were present, a number of visitors and new
members were reported, and the attendance in general was record breaking.
Great enthusiasm was manifested and many resolves were made
to make the coming Sunday school year one of much usefulness and helpfulness in
carrying on the work.
Rev. W.W. Rowe had charge of the services and short,
interesting talks were made by Messrs. C.H. Geitner, superintendent, B.B.
Blackwelder, assistant superintendent, Dr. J.H. Shuford, L.F. Abernethy, W.R.
Weaver, J.W. Warlick, Claude Abernethy, and Frank Allen. The junior chros ahd
charge of the music, which was beautiful and inspiring. Two sons by the primary
department were greatly enjoyed and it may be said that the young folks in this
department are making rapid progress under the graded system. Mrs. H.C. Menzies
is superintendent of the primary department and understands her work
thoroughly. She is assisted by an able corps of teachers. The cradle roll was
called by Mrs. Joe Abernethy and several infants were present to answer to
their names. Two new teachers volunteered for work in the Sunday school
department yesterday to take the places of those who will be absent this winter
teaching school or entering colleges.
The services were carried on into the 11 o’clock services,
at which time Mr. Weaver, in his usual way, delighted the audience with a solo.
