Increasing

Increasing.
Yesterday afternoon Mr. Crittenton
spoke in the Presbyterian church, Mrs
Moffatt sang I'll Go Where You Want

1O-1. The speaker showed how easy
It is for person to accept gift from
friend and thank him for it. How easy
1t is to accept the bounty of Gods
grace in our redemption, and to pay
Him we give our thanks. Said he:
I'VE should consecrate ourselves to
Him and to repay Him, in part, and
show our appreciation; we should put
forth every effort to advance His cause
on earth.

for constant co-minglng with worldly
people will tend to make you think less

Separate yourself from the world and
it's uncleanliness.
IF you, a protesting Christian, hold
communion with those whose minds
are buried in this worlds vanities, they
will lose confidence in you and your
faith. If these people here could see
the misery and woe l have seen, all
caused by carelessness in the choice
of associates, you would be more eau
