PLACES OF WORSHIP.
Sundays Services at the
Different Churches.
METHODIST.

Text: Psalms q 6: For thou
mast made him most blessed for
ever; thou hast made him exceed
ingly glad with thy countenance.
Subject: Masiahs exultation and
joy.
The psalmist brings out the
thought that Notwithstanding the
unfavorable outlook God will ulti-
mately subdue the world and the
spirit of evil and place this world
in such a state that righteousness
and truth shall prevail, We can
help in this work, and failure and
neglect on. our part will be a loss
to christianity.
Christ is exalted even now above
all principalities and powers. The
time will come when Christ will
govern all thought OF men. Christ
came in such simplicity that finite
man might comprehend infnity,
with power to measure up TO that
standard. Every willful sin is an
expression of hatred towards the
Lord Jesus Christ.
Jesus exchanged the hatred and
ignomy of the world for eternal
glory. Men judge from appear
ances-God looks at the heart. He
is imbued with ali power; He is
the reserve force to his deciples.
God lays hands on printing press
es end avenues for distribution of
knowledge and says, bv these my
truths shall permate the earth.
Christ can even transmit instru-
ments of evil into instruments of
good.
Temptation only strengthens
character and enables US to meet
the responsibilities of life. The
tree shaken by the tempest takes
a frmer hold and when the cy-
clone approaches the oak is en-
able to Withstand the storm. Had
Christ yielded on the mount, he
would have yielded at Gethsemane
and on Calvary.

mouth OF God-Mat. l:4
The pastor, Rev. Thos. Lloyd,
paid especial attention to that class
of people who make money, and
show their God, and impressed
upon his auditors the great truth
c the words, Lay not up for
yourselves treasures upon earth,
where moth and rust doth corrupt
and where thieves break through
and steal, but lay up for yourselves
treasures in Heaven where neither
moth nor dust doth corrupt, nor
thieves break through aud steal. :"
1t was a iorcibly delivered and
strong sermon and it is a pity that
every man in Vinita could not
profit by the practical lessons
taught by Rev. Lloyd.
