that ring in our ears with delightful
perSistency. BOuntiful prosperity
DlcSSes us us perhaps never before. At
no time were 50 many people able to
enjoy SO many blessings Of this life.
But suffer Il word of caution. Our
very prosperity may contain the germs
of national disaster You may recall
that it WAS ever the case with God s
chosen nation Of old, that increased
material prosperity tended toward
luxurious ease, vice, idOlatry and for
getfulneSs Of God. National prosper
lty, consequently, had its inevitable
sequel Of national adversely. The
warning voices of prophets combined
with the voice of history to warn them
that all nations that forget God
should be turned into hell. But those
lonely voices. crying in the wilderness
cried in vain and that once splendid
commonwealth plunged on to national
disgrace and destruction.
At such Il time as'this when we ride
with naughty self-sui1iciency on the
topmost crest of Prnsperitys tidal
wave, it would be profitable for us to
read the powerful putting Of the case
in Deuteronomy $: 20.

Owing to the fact that the mid

Agriculture is u be held at Bridge

will doubtless be a large attendance
from NewtOwn and other towns in
