Our life's career is. made up of the
past and iTfesent?the fufure is i
always a question that is many times '
answered with doubt and distrust. j
Tho. lesson on "The Call pf Moses"
embodied many- wholesome lessons.
We may learn and profit by their application.
The lesson "Was^discussed <
.by_jeaeh.jjf, Jllie classes SunJay^and ;f*~
very interesting -and helpful reviewtJ
was* conducted by, Mr. Harvey. Let|_|
mdVe of the parents and grown folks 1
accompany the children to the Sun-,'
day School each Sunday, you will
profit by so doing. "
At 11:15 a. m. there had assembled
many, and still they came. Dr. E. A.-j'
Adams selorted F.nhpsinn?
phastzing the 18th. verse. Subject: ^
"The DimentTdhvV of1 Gwh's^ovei" m
1. The length?"God so loved the;
world ' of imankindr -that He pave His 1
(inly-Ain ;fnr their salvation." If we
would measure ouf~toVP accordingly,*
"we tnust deny ourselves. ,'
2. The width-i-"Whosover will, let jj
him come unto Me, etc."'" If We would j'
measure our love by Hjs, we must 1
love your enemies and do good to 1
those who do evil to us. . J1
3. The depth?"Behold! if I descend 1
into the midst of the sea, .thou art
there with thy loving hand to protect 1
and defend." ?
4..The height?"Behold! if I take the
wings of J^ie morning and fly to^it- :
termost parts;- Thou art there." if
Love is the fulfillment of His corn-'^
mand; we must make the applications
by loving pur fellowman if we would
-receive that, great reward "Eternal
Life."
The subject for discussion in the'
A. C. E. League .was in charge of
Mrs. W. H. Harvey, whose manner of.
conducting the service was very good
and admired. 'The subject "God in,
Out-Door Life," was interestingly dis.1
cussed by many and many helpful
thoughts drawn therefrom. Come to
the service this Sunday.
Mrs. Shrah Collins will open up
the subject at 6:30 p. m.
At 8 p. ml', Dr. Adams selected 1st
Epistle of St. John 2:12-14, deducing
therefrom as a subject: "Three stages i
in Physical Life: Childhood, Manhood, j
and Old Age."
Many helpfu^suggestions as to the ,
cause and effect of these stages^were_
Telated during the sermon.
The Candle Light Rally last Monday (
night was quite a plenfcing affair and .
a success. The addrds^ tyy Dr. S. B. i
Wallace of Sidney "Park was* very!
good and listened to by many. If you |
were not present you certainly misled
a very pleasant'evening at Bethel.
There is being new life injected into
the class meetings each Tuesday
night for which we are very thankful.
