Rev. J. A Linn, pastor OF

an excellent sermon last Snn-

Aud but knowing the time
it is now high time that We
awake out Of sleep" This
was an appropriate sermon
for the occasion, being neal
the end OF the old year, 1907,
and the beginning Of the new
year, 1908. At this season OF
the year we should look back
over the past year sand with
5Olemnity note our actions
and conduct, whether it be
for good or bad. We should
even strive to turn "a new
leaf" SO to speak, and this
We cannot do alone, but must
resort to a niger power, a
power which can do all things
Well. We should always
keep in view that this life Is
just what we make it, and We
should aim high and strive
to reach the mark, the prize
Of the high calling Of the
Most High In his discourse
Mr. Linn, spoke OF the card
table, the dancing hall and
many other vile pleasures the
young are subject to from
the card table; there has
been known boys who have
aimed high and who are lead
ing noble lives, while others
have been made to ill, mur>
derers graves and wear the
feion's stripes Gard playing
may mean no harm, it may
be all right, but it is dangers
GUS. It will lead to some
thing bad The noted gam
bier had his first game Of
cards; the vile drunkard
drank his first drink, and so
it goes Always remember
the old motto Beware the
first drink!'
