''In Kentucky when folks go rabbit hunting
they put their hands in their nests, and 4 the
nest is warm they know the rabbit is not far
away. When the devil comes and finds warm
place where you have been he knows you are not
far off and he knows how to catch you. When
the smoke of battle clears away and you look
around You win find that God and his angels
have been watching you. They were always
there. No man ever fought by himself. God
pledges Himself to DO all for you. -
Mr.. Jones gave the three principal ingredients
that go into the makeup OF a hypocrite. All
things work together for them that love God.
Let us fight out our Christian fight to the end.
The whole discourse hinged upon the thought
that salvation was the Christians greatest
good and that God so directed and
controlled events IN the life Of His
children that the last circumstance was but =

the heart of infinite love.
After the sermon Brother Jones called for rs-
quests for prayer for loved ones. The requests

called and few answered. In spite Of the
weather the service was pleasant and profitable
one.
