To the Members of the Methodist

Dear Fellow Servants of Jesus
Christ: Vows of discip1eship are upon
US all equally. We are bound by
sacred, solemn covenant of service and
sacrifice. Church membership involves
a public confession of saving faith in
the Lord Jesus Christ. 1t demands
obedience to Christ. It requires loyal

in her wisdom the church devises to
help unsaved men and women to find
Christ.
Your church is now engaged in
series of special revival meetings, led
by your pastor, who is assisted by an
accredited and successful evangelistic
preacher. You need TO become identi-
fled with this work. In the matter Of
methods, we may have individual views
and preferences In the matter of mo-
tive and purpose, we must be united.
Have not God and your church the
right to ask and expect your coopera-
ton? Do you withhold this. without
fear of loss to yourself and injury to
the cause of your Lord?
Services this morning at 10, special
for children, at IL for general public.
at for men only and again at Z. To-
morrow and each day this week SER
vices at 8 p. m. (instead of 10 a. NO.
and Z p. m. Do not let this opportunity
pass to get and give a blessing.
| Affectionately, your pastor,
