Church Services for June 6
Church School 11 o’clock.
Evening service. 7:45. A play
I entitled “the House of Beautiful
Days” will be presented by the
children of the church school.The
play is a dramatic arrangement
of Dr. Jay Stocking's beautiful
story of the same name.
Jack, is a discontented boy who
grumbles because it is a rainy
day. He can find nothing inter
jesting to do in the house. He
falls asleep and has a dream. In
j his dream he goes to the house of
beautiful Days somewhere above!
the clouds. The rest of the play j
is concerned with what he sees in
the house of beautiful days, and '
when he wakes up, Jack has
learned that all days are beauti- !
ful days.
The cast includes twenty eight
children. Mrs. Widney is coach
ing the play, and Mrs. Kirkpat
rick has given much assistance
with the costumes.
The play takes the place of the
Sermon for the evening. No

taken. It is hoped th«t a large
congregation will attend the ser
j vice.
