generally Will Literally patrODiz5 the
church each Sunday and the other ex-
ercises that are being held during the
month as the church must rsise large
sum of money to meet their obliga-
tions. Eminent divines will fill the
pulpit each Sunday, and assist the
pastor TO instruct the people both re-
ligiously and temporarily Rally raj
~ friend and help the church in her
struggle to pay for the property and
further the interest of the best cause
on earth.
On the first Sunday, Rev. J. w. Kir-
by preached at il 80 one of the ablest,
most powerful, electrifying sermon
we have listened to for a long time
The divine was truly eloquent, in
structive and sublime. There was a
large and an appreciative audience,
ana every word seemed TO enter their
hearts and rivet conviction TO the soul.
The text was very difficult one, 1st|
Peter % The Reverend handled the
subject with grace and ease. The
smallest child could understand and
learn wisdom and the old heralds were
greatly edited. In the afternoon and
evening the pastor. Rev. IL. Powell
preached very instructive and inter
esting sermon TO the great satisfac-
tioD of his many hearers. In the af-
ternoon one of the trustees read let
ter of greeting to the church which
seemed both inspiring and encourage
ing to all present Trustee Carter al
so made a statement relative to the
amount collected for the past fifteen
months which showed that more than
three times as much money had been
raised during the pastorate of Rev.
Powell and paid on the building up to
the present time.
This was certainly very encouraging
to this people which had previously
had so much trouble and mismanage-
ment of their financial affairs, but the
liars are doing their uttermost to get
their nefarious work in, for the pastor
stated from the desk that he had
heard on the highway that the report
was out that the treasurer had run of
with all the church's money and thar
such report was lie from the begin
ming to the end lie from the devil,
the father of lies" Not only have
they lied on the treasurer who we all
know to be a faithful, true christis
gentleman respected and beloved by
the church and community. but the
Williams have been lying on the faithful
true christian member and friends
who work earnestly both late and ear
ly for the church. Oh, save us from
such monumental liars.
PEACE BREAKERs-THEIR PLACE.
Verify the good Book has said that
''all liars etc, shall have their place in
the lake that burns with fire and
birthstone" God has reserved in His
storehouse of punishment a place Tor
all liars. IL there is any class of viii
lians in any community to be drum
med out. stamp q out, kicked out or
trodden under foot, more than any
other, anyway to rid the community
OF them. 1t Is the sneakish, cringing
and growing liar who goes from house
to house breaking the peace of friends,
dividing families and causing trouble
in churches. Wherever the viper with
their forked tongue has under the
false cover of friendship gained the
attention of the unexpected ear and
poured in their vial OF poision, there
you may look for trouble abroad in
the land. Let every man strive to run
such murderOus scoundrel to earth,
for verify God will pour out His vial
of wrath upon all such.
Some people feed upon food from
the infe rnal regions. They live upon
lies, hey walk aud talk lies, go to
church and TO their bed lying, dream
lies arise the next morning make a
fresh round over the community SOW
ing their seed wherever they can find
listening ear. They lie on God by
saying He has shown them in vision
or dream certain things They lie
pretending TO be trying to make peace
Such vipers are the imps of the devil
and slaves TO their heliish, daily du-
ties fer past-time They are too mean
to live and not fit TO die; but in due
time, a just God will reward them:
Such creatures are nothing more nor
less than the hell-hounds of corrup-
ton.
We pity the community of any peo-
pie that are troubled with such pest.
They are murderers of character, vii
lians and false pretenders. They are
vultures that create or make the stink
ing carcas then carry it around to pois-
ion the people with.
THE PRACRMAKER-THEIR PLACE.
But great is the reward laid up in
Gods store house of peace and right
eousness for those whose name has
been cast out as evil, The good Mas
ter will say "come ye blessed OF my
Father inherit the rich reward in the
Kingdom of undeign glory" We who
have been falsely prosecuted and lied
upon shall have the redeemed saints
Angels and archangels, cherubims and
seraphims as associates and compan-
ion. Christ, the all atoning Lamb
shall smile upon Us, and God the Faith
er of the faithful shall wipe all tears
from our eyes Then let us take fresh
courage, press onward and up the hill
of Zion, watching and waiting until
the white-winged dove like angel of
peace shall come and watt our souls on
his pinions of love to the mansion of a
stupendous God where no forked ton
que liar can come with tie happy an
ticipation of such future sublime tran
guilty. We shall soon be where our
Lord and Master rules His kingdom
with love and peace and the redeemed
made perfect.
PERSONAL BRIRF ITEMS,
For one to be gratuitously insulted
by those they love or even appreciate
and stand ready to defend with their
life blood if need be is the most IN.
kind cut of all. Greater the love and
respect, deeper the wound. Oh well
such is life, how careful we ought tt
be.
