Evening, Gods Method for
Hard Times"
The preaching of Rev. Alfred S.
Badger of Punta Gorda Presbyter-
ian church, was especially enjoyed
every evening last week by all who
came, Mr.. Badger is a preacher
of unusual ability and attractive
ness and some of his vivid word
pictures will not soon be forgotten,
by the Christian people Of all the
churches who attended the services
Mr.. Badgers home is in Waukesha,
Wis, and with his wife, is spend
ing the winter in Florida seeking
health in our salubrious climate.
Last Sunday morning the
pastors subject was 'Enoch's
Walk with Cod"
There are three places III
scripture i'll which mention is made
of this remarkable man, whose
singular piety and example made
it seem evident that he lived as
seeing Him who is invisible" and
was walking side BY side with the
holy God. The first mention is in
Gen. SPA, And Enoch walked .
with God and was not for God
.ook him" The next is in
Hebrews IFS which explains how
God took him. By faith Enoch
vas translated that he should not
zee death; and was not found be-
ause God had translated him: for
,efore his translation he had this
that he pleased God"
The third reference is in Jude verse
"A, in which it is said that Enoch .
was prophet and testified against
The evils of his day and foretold |
the coming of the Lord in judg- |
ment upon the ungodly.
And the case was more remark
able because he lived before the
food at the time when the world
had become so corrupt that it was
necessary to wipe out the whole
human family and begin anew.
It is grand spectacle to see a man
If eminent godliness in the midst.
If universal wickedness. 1t proves
hat a man can stem the current of
vii and with Gods help be
hyperion to his environment.
In this present evil world" we
90 should live faithful among
he faithless," and we can as really
walk with God" as did Enoch if
re note the secret of his success,
nd live according to the same
that governed his life.
WAS THE WALK OF HARMONY
WITH GOD
!. How can two walk together
Xcept they be agreed?" Amos
-. This implies regeneration,
Or by nature the soul of man is
OF i'll tune with the Infinite, "
nd only when born of water and
t the Spirit is the soul placed in
armonious relations with the God ,
holiness. When we love what
Iod loves, hate sin which God
ates, and the trend of our life is
arallel with that of Christ, we are
with God.

THE WALK OF FAITH

2. BY faith Enoch was trans
lated" etc. Enoch had never seen
God, yet he had so firmly believed
the testimony that there is God
OF the heavens and the earth, +"
that it influenced his life as effect
ually as if God had materialized in
his presence and with his five
senses he had perceived the living
loving, Heavenly Father. Just in
proportion to our faith do we have
our walk close with God.

Duffy'S Pare Malt Whisky

IS an absolutely pure distillation of
matted grain; great care being used
to have every kernel thoroughly
matted, thus destroying the germ and
producing predigested liquid food in
the form of a malt essence, which
IS the most effective tonic stimulant
and invigorator known to science;
softened by warmth and moisture,
its palatability and freedom from in
furious substances render it so that
it can be retained by the most sensi-

meeting stated that Seth Low, former
speaker. But Seth Low had not been
counted on in making this arrange.
ment. and he declined TO come here
at the call of the committee.
Then two days ago the committee
joyously announced that Milton j
