Of Gods blessings, and a double por-
ton of prayerful spiritual work.
There are three phases of the 'dou-
Bile portion of which / will speak this
evening. The first is, we must render
double service to God. If we must go a
mile go twain. Mark Twain once said,
There are two passages in the Bible
in which have received personal men

where the perfect man is spoken Of
The true-hearted Christian must be
filled with the desire to fulfill the gos-
pei of the extra mile.
I'VE must receive a double portion
of fellowship, a double portion of the
spirit of baptism from on high. A
school in North Carolina was conduct

of orphans and poor children. He had
no wealth, no resources-but when the

come, in one way and another, and
sometimes there would be "a little sur

financial system to all, but for some it

his full duty. God occasionally does
raise up a man whose faith is as strong
as this.

embodied the spirit of Christ-so meek
SO gentle, mild, unassuming, thought

peace.
