Friday
evening
at
a
formal
banquet.
The
local
congregation
together
with
hund
reds
of
others
are
remembering
the
year
in
a
special
way.
The
banquet
was
arranged
by
the
Ladles'
Aid
of
th,e
congregation
with
Mrs.
Magnus
Anderson
in
general
charge.
Following
the
banquet
a
full
program
was
presented
which
was
very
much
appreciated
by
all
piesent.

Che
well

(Malkrttc).
The
feature
of
the
program
was
the
address
by
Bishop
H.
L.
Foss
of
Seattle
who
very
forcefully
laid
before
the
congregation
the
need
of
Christian
training
in
the
home.
He
gave
to
the
congregation
words
of
encouragement
for
the
work
evidenced
by
the
building
of
the
present
edifice.
"Churches
tike
these
have
their
beginning
In
the
home,"
the
Bishop
said.

it
was
from
backgrounds
like
these
that
the
first
hurches
uerc
built
and
congregations
organized
In
the
New
World.
"Years
roll
on,
and
wars
come
but
the
church
cannot
bo
killed
for
it
was
built
by
Christ
Himself
and
the
gates
of
hell
shall
not
prevail
against
it.
History
reveals
that
attacks
have
been
made
again
and
again
to
destroy
It
but
it
shall
never
fall
we
have
Christ's
word
for
that."
Turning
to
the
many
service
men
In
his
audience
the
Bishop
said:
"As
long
as
Christ
Is
the
head
pf
the
church
men,
you
can
go
ahead
and
fight
As
long
as
the
church
is
on
the
earth
there
will
always
be
freedom
and
something
to
fight
for.
"The
church
is
finding
Its
place
in
this
crisis.
It
Is
carrying
on
the
work
at
missions
the
world
over.
The
home
congregation
has
Its
vital
part
to
play;
the
foreign
mission
work
would
have
been
wiped
out
had
it
not
bcyn
for
the
support
from
the
I
home
front.
We
know
in
whom
we
believe
and
have
a
vital
part
to
play.
Concluding
his
address
the
Bishop
emphasized
the
need
of
the
family
altar
In
the
home.
"We
must
have
the
conviction
that
man
docs
not
live
by
bread
alone,
but
by
every
word
that
proceeded
out
of
the
mouth
ot
Ood."
It
may
not
always
be
easy
for
the
father
to
take
Uie
family
Bible
and
read
but
make
a
beginning,
for
we
shall
never
be
able
to
make
a
contribution
to
the
world
unless
we
get
back
to
the
home."
