NEW SERIES
AT GRACE M.E.
Dr. Bagnell Will Have Charge
of Services in Drive
For the Kingdom
Dr. Robert Bagnell, pastor of Grace j
Methodist Church, has announced the
Grace Church Drive For the King
dom from February 10 to March 3.
Services will be held every night ex- i
cept Saturday, beginning at 7.45
o clock and ending shortly after it |
o clock. Tho Sunday evening serv- !
ices Will start at 7.30 and will be
a series on "Is Christianity Facing a
orld crisis?" and Dr. Bagnell. in
these sermons, will discuss the "Out-
J?? ,? Rel 'Bi°n When the War Is
Over. The four Sunday evening
special sermon topics are as follows:
"is Christianity Facing a World,
Crisis?"— February 10, "The New
Opportunity of Christianity Growing
Out of the War;" February 17. "The
Elements of Menace Which Will Be
Made More Serious by the Results of
the War:" February 24. "Will the
< hureh ITave the Vision and Cour
age to Make the Necessary Readjust
n-.ents?" March 3, "Will the Church
and the World Give God the Right
of Way?"
The services during the weekdays,
which begin at 7.45 and close short
ly after- 9 o'clock, will be conducted
in a straightforward, simple way and
nothing will be done that will be
embarrassing to anyone who wants
to hear the questions of the religious
life discussed In a reasonable way.
The first fifteen minutes will be de
voted to a song service and the good
old Methodist Hymnal will be used.
There will be a large chorus choir of
more than 100 voices in charge of
the singing, under the direction of
John W. Phillips, and there will be
special musical features every even
ing.
Campaign on Business flails
Dr. Bagnell will preach short, di
rect sermons telling of the vital
problems of life. This campaign lias
been organized in a businesslike
manner. Committees have been ap
pointed to handle every phase of the
city's life and efforts are being made
by the chairmen of the various com
mittees to reach as many of the
People of Ilarrisburg who are not
church members as it is possible to
do. There are more than 600 peo
ple working on active committees
and women's conferences are being
held almost daily in various districts
of the city. There have been several
businessmen's lurfrheons and a com
mittee of ninety-seven, having charge
of the young people's work, have
also been exceedingly active. Dr.
Bagnell feels that in these stirring
times, with the entire membership In
active service and unceasingly using
the power of prayer that God has
given us, that the members of Grace
Church will not fail if they give
themselves wholly to God and this
work and If the attitude o t every
one Is "Lord what wilt Thou have
me to do?" Grace Church has been
stirred with the preparations for this
campaign as never before and it
looks as if she is going to do great
things for the Kingdom. Sunday.
March 3, will be the last Sunday of
the Grace Church Drive For the
Kingdom and will tie membership
day. All efforts will be concentrated
on this day to win to the church all
who are won to Christ, to recover
lost lotters and to welcome to their
fellowship all who have no other
church home.
The Epworth League will hold an
especially important meeting at 6.30
o'clock in the lecture room of the
church to-morrow evening. Charles
W. 8011, president of the Ilarrisburg
District Epworth League, have
charge of the meeting and -*lll make
an address on "What will \the Ep
worthians Gain in the Grace Church
Drive For the Kingdom?" Special
solos will be a feature of the serv
ice.

secretary of the Presbyterian Coin- ,
mittee on Men's Work For the United >

Dr. Weir is very capable of dis
cussing the subject, "Is the Church
an Obsolete Institution?" He has
had years of association with re
ligious leaders and the nation's best
thinkers. He will discuss this ques
tion because it is one frequently
asked in these stirring war times,
