Methodist Episcopal

The fourth sermon on "Life's Way"
entitled "The Guide" was given Sunday
morning by the pastor. The text was
taken from John 1913, Howbeit when
he, the Spirit of truth is come he will
guide into all truth; for he shall not
speak of himself, but whatsoever he
shall hear that shall he speak; and he
will show you things to come" The
sermon was forcible one and listened
toDy good congregation. The special
music prepared for Palm Sunday was
rendered by the full chorus choir and
consisted of the following selection,
Praised be the Lord " by Ashford,
"The Lord is my Strength " by Semper,
and Miss Niles sang in an impressive
manner "The Palms." by Foure.
Next Sunday being Conference Sunday
there will be no morning service. The
Sunday school will meet at the usual
hour and give an Easter Concert, which
is now in preparation.

Advent Christian

The new pastor, Rev. S. M. Wales
spoke from a text found in End Timothy
3:16, first clause, taking as his subject.
1.-THE Inspiration of the Bible and In
fidelity, Reviewed" The scripture OF
Pauls day consisted of the Old Testa.
ment only, and he proclaimed the in
spiration thereof to be of God, and that
it was profitable. Many men have de-
nounced its history as untrue and its
teachings false, yet the scriptures can
not be broken; tho many copies of the
Book have been burned, yet it still lives
and abounds. Its Author has said "Hea-
ven and earth shall pass away, but my
word shall not pass away" 1t has
turned men from idolatry to serve the
living and true God, from cannibalism
to Christianity, from heathenism to
civilization. No other book has stood
the ravages of time and hatred and con-
quered with such victory as the Bible.
Surely it is the Word of God.
The evening service was inspiring,
the Pastor speaking upon the "Rock of
Ages" text, Isaiah 26:4, marginal render
ing. "Christ is the Rock" and from
Rock we are supplied with water, honey,
shelter, which also is the Rock of Daniel
?, to be established forever. Appropri-
ate Easter service next Sunday.

ter of Johns gospel, the 18th and 18th
verses. 1t was the fourth sermon in the
series of Lenton discourses upon the
general topic, "That we may become
more Christlike in Spirit" The Choir
rendered appropriate selections for
Palm Sunday. The sermon was in keep
ing witch the day, the specific topic be-
ing "Fresh Palm Branches" Mr..
Raspe said in part, "There are many
rough places on the journey of life.
Here and there are found the thorns of
pain and sorrow. The whole trend is up
hill. The weary pilgrim, foot-sore and
often discouraged, slowly climbs the
rugged road of life. A palm branch
thrown by kind hand will cover many
a stony place. Let us cast before the
weary traveller the palm branches Of
helpfulness, Of loving kindness and Of
sympathy. The preacher further as
serted that Christianity obligates us to

The Odd Fellows Surprised 4"

The Odd Fellows held a regular NEE t.
ing last evening and after the transaction
of business were given a phonograph
concert by "Prof." Noyes. During this,
and while the goat was being put to bed,
there came knock at the outer door,
''soft and GENTLE" little out of the or
dinary thump, but not enough to arouse
suspicion! The Guardian meandered up
thereto and asked for the password.
"Tee-hee was the bung-hole response,
which paralyzed Perry Foster, the afore-
said Guardian. Re-inforcements were
secured and viii ThOrp, who had seen
service in the Spanish-American war,
buckled on the armor, and with sword
and spear stealthily crept up to the door,
and, ready to anihilate the intruders, said
in stentOrian voice Come inl' at the
same time raising the armaments of war.
Again there was another " "Tee-hee" fol-
lowed by an outburst of feminine laugh
ter. This was too much and so the val
liant William threw open the door and
surrendered. The enemy" in the shape
of a number of young lady Rebehahs,

which Clifton DEMO proved himself an
expert, and to which Odd Fellows and
Rebekahs did ample justice, the latter
greatly enjoying the primitive array of
dishes and pans on tables eIudely spread.
asking If that was the way 'you Odd
Fellows get up banquet" The "sur-
prise was enjoyed by all and at late
hour the fair ones took their leave with
