CHURCH NEEDS
ARE OUTLINED
The choir of the Methodist church
gave most excellent song service lua’
eveiling assisted by Mr. Enberg as
soloist. After the song service. Rev.
Carter read a portion of the fourth
chapter of Paul’s letter to the Ephes
ians for the scripture lesson of the
evening. He then took his text trom
the 16th verse of the 10th chapter 01
John’s report ot^ the Ciood News, to
wit; “I have other sheep which do not
belong to this fold; l must lead them
also, and they will hear my voice, and
they will be one flock and one -.hep
herd”.
“ 1 believe in denominations, said
Rev. Carter, “but. as Jesus indicated,
these various denominations are only
branches of the one great flock, which
is the Church.
“There are three fundamental or
ganigations, the Family, the Stat*
and the Church, and these are all d»*
pendent one upon the other. Tin*
Church can not grow and develop un
less the family life is right. 1 he fam
ily being the primary organization.
vast deal depends upon it. Unless t’ «
family and the church are right the
State cannot reach its fullest develop
ment. After the right kind of family
life every community and the State,
which is made up of the different and
various communities, needs a l»v«
church.”
“The church needs many subsi
diary organizations as aids to its de
velopment and usefulness. It nee<l.
for the boys and young men. a gym
nasium and reading rooms. It needs
equipment fitting it to be the social
center of the community life. It needs
the hearty, sympathetic cooperation of
the people of the community, and this
it must have if the aim of the church,
which is the brotherhood of man, •>*
ever attained. When the family, the
state and the church are right.” said
Rev. Carfer. “the true League of Nn
tiona will be an accomplished fact.”

The testimony and the statement
of the attorneys indicated that the
tank was a sort of middle ground
between armored motor cars which
wide trenches rendered ineffective
and the huge steam rollers planned to
hatter down barbed wire and oth^r
obstacles.
Mr. Churchill testified that from
| the beginning of the war numerous
f’nns of various types of land ships
had been submitted. Eighteen of
these appeared so feasible that mod
els were constructed and triads
wcie made and it might be said that
the Somme offensive in 1916 was t'l •
result of experiments gained at the
trials of each of thr«e.
