great deal Of good in awaking an inter-

Rev. T. B. Stovall preached Sunday
morning from the subject Love, John
4:12. The speaker said in part, It is q
glorious thought that we are appointed
Gods visible representative, and that
we are to reflect his image and by re-
flecting his image his love dwells in
US. We become mighty agents in his
hands; this love is an instrument that
tries every heart and every spirit. It
teaches US how to sympathize, how to
be merciful, kind and sweet.
