MAY DC turned 20 our behCOt, 1t we
will permit God to so have it. The
promise is; II will be with thee. /"
Il will never torsske thee" When
business, or company, or pleasure,
or leisure, impinges growth in grace,
it is because We have, for the time,
turned Col out IT our hearts. He in

can do all things through Christ y
1t is God that bears them for us. 1t
is Christ that endures through us.
Only in with drawing from Him do
We fail or cease to grow.
There are many feeders to this
necessary growth. Our bodies need
food, healthful, daily. The wastes
OF nature are provided for. Our
spiritual being must have food,
healthful, daily. Much of prayer
must enter in. Much of thought
and reflection ON Gods goodness.
Much of determination. Much
OF love and sympathy with those
around us, and otthe suffering and
sinful. The spirit of forbearance
and forgiveness, must rule our spir-
its. Evil speaking and fault-fnding
must go out.of us. The control OF
animal apEetites0 must be strong
and constant. The household life
must be just what we would have
the world aboutns, believe it to be.
Love and study afGod,s word dali
ly and growing thing, So with these
we will grow in grace. Without
these and many other things, we
will not grow. MT growing we lose
all. a.aas. x sa.ss.
Rev. H. X. Walker goes to ,Bir-
mingham, Ala. He is to leave to-
day. The Baptist, and Methodist
pastors, as a tribate to worthy
brother, united with Mr.. Walker in
the Sabbath night services. There
was fine congregation present.
]. IT IS A source of much regret not
only to our Presbyterian friends, but
to the entire community, that Mr.
Walker feels it duty to leave Ma
rietta. The brotherly sympathy
faith and good wishes, for big sue
cess, in his new field, from many
hearts, will follow him.
REV. Mr.. Wynne opened the ser
vices at the Presbyterian church
Sunday night, with an appropriate
prayer.
Mr.. Dawes returned from his visit
to Forsyth Saturday afternoon, and
6lled his pulpit Sabbath morning.
He has by no means recovered from
his sickness, but is much improved
at this writing, Monday.
ThE Womans' Missionary Society
meets Thursday, 4p. M, at the home
OF Mrs. Hutchinson. Let all mem
bers attend, and as many as can be-
come members, meet this faithful
band.
Mr.. j. D. Cunningham, Jr., and
wife joined the Methodist church,
Sunday morning, by certificate. We
welcome them to our community
and to our church home.
The Methodist Christian Endeav-
or Society will meet Friday evening
nex:, at the residence OF Mr.. and
Mrs. Moultrie Sessions.
The Marietta Pastors Meeting
was held Monday morning at the
Baptist parsonage. The little COM
pany of pastors were made sad to
know that the circle was to be brok-
en- by the departure Of Mr.. Walker.
THE prayer meeting at the Meth
odist church last Wednesday night
was fine success, led by one of the
'aymen. The presence of Mr.. Bar
clay, OF Atlanta, added much to the
occasion. The Methodist pastor re-
joices in having any one of so many
laymen to take his place promptly
and efficiently, in any one of The So
cial services.
