Methodist Church Notes

Az the morning service last Sunday
the text was Hebrews Ii l4-l5. 1t
was shown that Scripture teaches that
we are too at peace with all men so far
as our wishing them we'll il concerned
even though they may not have the
same feelings toward us. That We are
commanded to have holiness il our liv-
ing lst because we personally cannot
see the Lord as his saved children with
out 1t. End that we cannot reveal the
Lord 10 others except Is we have holi-
ness of the Lord in our lives. That
some 50 called Christian lives were such
as 10 drivs people away from the Lord
instead o. La lag them to Him.
At the eve los service the second of
the series upon Respectable Sins was
given. The sin spoken of was that Of
the sevil tongue. IL was shown that
the real evil tongue was not the one
that spoke the direct faIsehood, for
this il repuIsive to ALL but rather the
tongue that took truth. or q portion Of
the truth and told II IN such way that
the wrong meaning was taken. The
story Of Doeg the Edomite was used as
an illustration Given a little skill,
little malice, and no scruples, and
anything can be done with the truth.
Allow me to select from among the
words and actions Of the best Of men
just what have selected il the way
choose, and could make the man j
character appear like that Of Judas
Iscariot.

farming lands.
Il predict that after the congress

several, flowing wells not property
bridled, are going to waste. Vast tracts
of these lands can be obtained for from
$40 to $50 per acre.
These facts in connection with 9th
