At the evening service Rev. Mr.
Weatherwax preached stirring ser.
mon upon the theme Gods Pictur,
of a Happy Man." He took his tex
from the first Psalm and the frs
three verses in which are shown tn,
PICTURES of the happy person. In tn,
first place the psalmist was n happ,
man because he was segregated from
the world and lived with God. II,
separated himself from the sinner
and the scornful by boldly urgin,
them to change their ways. Rathe
than do as the scorners did. he bold
ly showed them his stand and urge,
them TO accept the Christ. The hap
py man as shown In the picture a
presented by the psaImist was on
who meditated upon the word of Got
day and night, and even then n
was without the full gospel as ii |
given us in the new dispensation. II
studied the Bible carefully over n
all times and In turn he became 81
thoroughly acquainated with II that h
delighted in It and was happy.
Rev. Mr.. Weatherwax referred 4
the number of ministers who seem /
, think that the Bible Is q mere story
written MS are other stories. Thi
cannot be true for the inspiration
does not come to the Christian iron
other works as It does from the clos
reading of the Bible.
