BALANCE OF PREACHER DOPE -
Many men, like Moses, because of
sin in one time of weakness spend
forty years in the desert away from
C.od. Sin Is the greatest task-master
In the world and drives its subjects
with scorpion whips of power. And
men thus driven are cowed down
not having courage to break away.
This explains why many do not at-
tend church or have a good word for
It. The Go-pel message reveals the
treadmills of sin at which they are
grinding. Oh. if men could learn
that the Son of God can "make you
free."

pastor at this church next Sunday at
11 am. and 8 p. m. You will be wel-

Bible Study and Prayer.—We will
not use the S. S. lesson any longer
on Wednesday evening, but will take
up a six months' course on "God's
Workers."
We will commence with God's
Concern for Men, Man's Responsi-
bility and Equipment for Work, after
which we will take up the Bible char-
acters and God's dealings with them.
1 am anxious that just as many as
possibly can will join us in this course
at the fir si and If you will and give
it some study and prayer and are not
benefited by it I will be willing to
make good the time you have lost if
it is in my power to do so. This
course will commence one week from
this time so as to give every one no-
tice of the change.
league Work.—The subject for
Sunday evening is "The Christian's
Goal." Give this subject your best
thought and come prepared to help
in the discussion of It.
The subjects announced for this
last Sunday will be used for the com-
ing Sunday. If there Is any one in
our town that is not attending church
and Sunday school and trying to do
his part—and I am sure there are
some—let him stop and think, yes.
