It's the Easter service Sunday, March 20, 1921. Pastor H. P. Mollerup is conducting the service on this date and he was quite an interesting fellow. His full name was Hans Peter Martin Mollerup, born in 1866 and passed away in August of 1929. He co-founded the Blue Cross in 1895, and along with Kirsten Prip, founded the Church Army in 1912. A kind of home for homeless, drug addicts, etc.
Mollerup graduated from Odense Latin School in 1885 and became master of theology from the University of Copenhagen in 1892. He served as a chaplain in England for four years. It was here he became acquainted with the English version of the Church Army. Back in Denmark he became the pastor at Freeport Church in Copenhagen, where this pamphlet is from. He spent his life helping the homeless, helping to fight poverty, and those with alcoholism.
The church I go to also hands out a program every Sunday. Ours is missing the advertising portion, however. You are seeing the first and last page of the pamphlet. First we have our spiritual thought, followed by the folks who made printing this spiritual thought possible.
