SEDALIA AND VICINITY
First Church - Sunday was a great day. Pastor R.L. Davidson who has been absent in France for a year in Y.M.C.A. work returned on an early morning train and spoke both morning and evening to an immense audience that filled every available space. Many were unable to gain admittance. Among other things, Pastor Davidson said was we had licked the kaiser and it had given him courage to believe we could lick the devil, and we must begin the attack at once in Sedalia. He testified in the saving grace of Jesus Christ and paid a great tribute to the American soldier. There was 647 in Sunday school. On Thursday evening the church will give a reception to the pastor to which the editors of the Word and Way are invited. Dan Dean superintendent of our Bible school, has been very fortunate in securing the services of Mrs. James Matthews, a graduate of the State Normal, to conduct a class in Bible story.
