Show THE CHURCH REVIEW. <br><br> Methodist, Park City. <br> The Sunday school entertainment committee gave a social at the church on Tuesday evening, 15th inst. The young people who took part acquitted themselves well, the dialogues, recitations and songs were all excellent, a number of small children gave a "good night" drill, which delighted the large audience. Ice cream and cake were served at the close. The house was well filled and the friends of the enterprise were delighted. Proceeds amounted to $20.35. <br> On Sunday the congregations were good, especially in the evening, when the pastor discoursed about "St. Patrick, as Protestants understand him." As he died March 17th, A. D. 455, we celebrate his death and entrance into glory. <br> We have received 100 copies of "Good Tidings of Great Joy to all People," an Easter service for Easter Sunday and cards are ordered for the Sunday school for Easter Sunday. We have the preparation under way and expect a very happy and blessed time and a missionary collection that day. <br> The Epworth League was conducted on Sunday night by Prof. Richardson. He delivered a very interesting address on "The Sin Offering," and during the service many Leaguers raised their hands for prayers. So the good work goes on and notwithstanding all opposition, the good Lord is blessing the Methodist work in Park City. G. W. R. <br><br> Methodist, Heber. <br> Prohibition mass meetings have been held in nearly every town and settlement in Wasatch County and a long petition forwarded to the Constitutional convention, now in session, asking the honorable delegates to submit the question of prohibition to a vote of the people. <br> Miss Kundsen, principal of the New West school, is after weeks of illness again able to be at her post. <br> The Christian people of Heber have had an addition to their numbers in the person of Mrs. Bruntage and daughter Margaret. Miss Margaret is organizing a class in music. Success to her. <br> Congregations are small at this time of year, because of the sloppy conditions of the streets, caused by the melting of two and one-half feet of snow. There are several inches yet to melt. <br> The Sunday evening services at the New West school house have been, postponed until farther notice. <br> Some of the Methodist Sunday school children have been visiting Park City for a while. We miss them. <br> We have lost a faithful helper in Miss Kate Johnson, now Mrs. Campbell, of Park City. Our loss is Park City's gain. <br> Mrs. Johnson, one of our most faithful members, is suffering with the Grip. <br> The surprise party at the New West school house, Monday evening, on the occasion of Miss Kundsen's twenty-sixth birthday, was a success in everyway except the surprise. <br><br> THIRD PRESBYTERIAN. <br> Salt Lake City. <br> Again we can announce an increase in our Sunday school. Let us keep on toward the one hundred mark. Our assistant superintendent, Mr. C. H. Parsons, who has given the Sunday school work more study than any other person in Utah, insists that it is the most important part of all our Christian work in this territory, and that we must begin with the children; the idea now in reform is to prevent the young men from being let into sin and wrong. <br> The Ladies Missionary Society of this church will meet at the home of Mrs. McClain on Tuesday, March 26th, from 2 to 4:30 o'clock p.m. All ladies having mile boxes will please bring them. Subject for foreign missions, Mexico and Central America. For home missions, Alaska. A cordial invitation is extended to all the ladies of the church and congregation, to be present. <br> Our prayer meetings continue to be full of interest and very helpful. Why are we behind the world in the matter of Sunday school teachers' meetings? Ought we not to catch up in this particular? <br> All who can do so, ought to attend Mr. Quay's singing class. How much good music adds to all our gatherings. <br><br> The Young Man and the Church. <br> Almost every young man, not thoroughly vicious, occasionally attends church. He is to be found at times in good force in that church which has the most popular or best advertised preacher. But after satisfying his curiosity, the novelty wears off and no matter how talented or attractive the preacher is, no young man will attend any church regularly or long, or ever become an adherent, if no attention is paid to him by the members of the church themselves. <br> Many a young man to my personal knowledge has attended church for months before a single person has spoken to him. This is not as it should be, and the time has come when the people, members of the church, must do their part. The church must be made a home; every member must play the host and welcome the young man into social life. If he does not find this in the church he will go elsewhere. - Ex. <br><br> |
