Scripture Reading — Rev. A. — Rev. Dr, Tamisel Sunday evening at 7:30 the First Presbyterian Church at White and Washington Streets, will feature a movie showing the third mission- ary journey of St. Paul. Christiani- ty was pretty well known through- out the then civilized world and on this journey Paul found consider- able trouble with the churches he had originally founded. Many of the so-called Christians from Jer- usalem set out to oppose him creating division and confusion in all the churches. This strife and opposition only added to the faith and determination of practicing Christians to carry on their pro- gram of evangelizing the world. This experience of the early church and since seems to have strengthened the work and is am- ple proof that'the very gates of hell. cannot prevail against the church of the living God. On Sunday morning at 11 o’clock the Rev. Mr. Rogers will use as his subject, “What Christianity Means.” To some it means merely having their name dn the church , to others it means social pres- all cannot devote our entire time to professional service as preach- ers, teachers, missionaries, can enlist in the worthy service of evangelization by giving of our time, talent and funds with our Prayer that His Kingdom might "| speedily come.
