James Roger diary entries
8th September 1912
Fine day; bright and sunny; wind westerly. Mr. Lord preached from the text “Wide is the gate, etc.” S.S. after. 10 seniors present; no children’s class Miss Lord not at Church. Evening service at 7 p.m. Topic: “Obstacles.” Fairly good attendance.
Still amazed that folks attended Sunday worship, Sunday school, and evening services. Few churches could count on parishioners to do all that nowadays.
I believe that The Grange lecturer should be Mae Corthell, who was also a school teacher
