CHURCH NOTES.

Rev Dr Davis sermon, last Sunday, was about the earneStnesS of the woman in searching for her lost coin as found in Luke 15. Earnestness in all things is commendable, and espec- ially in religion. Nowhere in the Bible is it said that there is ease in the spiritual life, but ''Seek" and ''strive." People showing earnestness in business are never judged as being insane; why should tbey be when striving for their own or others sal vation? The woman was we'll repaid for her earnest searching. God has large compensation for those who seek Him.
