SIX-INCH SERMON By Rev. Robert H. Harper CENTER OF LIFE. Lesson for December 31: Jojin 15: 1-10; Galatians 2:20; Philippians 3: 8-16. How does a Christian grow? Dur ing the past three months this has been our underlying question. Now) at the year’s end we come back to the point where we began: to Jesus Christ. When all is said and done, the best way to descritoe a Christian’s life is not “religious” or “spiritual” the same was carried on or prosecut- Section 5. ,Any person, firm, com-, pany or corporation prosecuting or j engaging in any business or occupa- i tion or profession, or keepir^g or' maintaining any establishment nam ed in this Ordinance without having first paid the license tax imposed thereon, or shall otherwise violate any of the terms or provisions of this Ordinance, shall upon conviction be fined not exceeding one hundred ($100.00) dollars or be imprisoned not exceeding thirty (30) days with or without,hard labor at the discre tion of the officer trying the case.

(City Seal) City Clerk and Treasurer. or even “gidly,” much less “pious.” The best way to describe it is to put the fullest possible meaning/ into the single word “CHRISTIAN.” In your hymnal you may find a hymn by the author of the better- known “O Love that wilt not let me go.” It begins wrth these lines: “Make me a captive, Lord, and then I shall be free . . .” That sounds upside-down. Captive and free are opposites, aren’t they? Not when God is the captor! The American translation of Phil. 3:12 says. “I have been captured by Je sus Christ.” Paul’s word was a strong one: it was the Greek word used jvhen police or soldiers take a man and tie him and lead him off. People who have gone far in mus ic would understand this. Take two young people, both of whom know something about music, maybe both of them in the same music school. One of therm has been captured, so to speak, by music, the other has not. That is to say, in plainer language, music has “got hold’’ of one of them. There is an irrestible fascination afbout music for him, every day is too short for the study and practice he wants to do. The other one goe- through his lessons, but without heart. m LIQUID OR TABLETS* GIVES FAST RELIEF >wti«n COLD MISIRltS STRIKi 1 x X X — FROM — TRAM MAM Whar'ar you may b« . . . w* wish you th« privilogo and ploasuro of drinking P«pai-CoU In 1951 — th* big, tasty drink that grows dally in popularity.
