Mrs. j. D. Hoffman, Sr., of Clarks-
boro, who fell recently and injured
her arm, thought it only sprain,
but as the time went by and it became
more painful instead of better, the
family physician, DR.. Pounds, of
Paulsboro, was called and on examin-
alton revealed a bone splintered. He
had to bandage it and put the arm
in sling, where, he said, it must be
carried for some weeks. Mrs. Hoff-
man has the sympathy of many
friends, as she has had to suffer from
several other broken bones in few
years past.

Rev. J.. r. vannatta took for his
subject on Sunday morning last,
''Paul's Wonderful Exhortation,' his
text being found in the 18th chapter
of 1st Cor. 58th verse: Therefore
my beloved brethren be ye steadfast
unmoveable always, abounding in the
work of the Lord, for as much as We
know that your labor is not in vain
in the Lord" He said this is an old
exhortation given by Paul, but applies
to all Gods followers today to be
more steadfast this year than last.
First, to be more steadfast in heart;
love of money is the handspring of
many hearts; others it lis honor If
all could be as steadfast for the love
of Christ, success would be ours in
the Christian life Second, more
steadfast in prayer; we cannot keep
up our physical strength without
food, drink and rest, so we must have
prayer for our spiritual strength.
Third, more steadfast in searching
the scriptures;if we wish to lose in
terest in our Father in heaven, let
us forget to read his letters to US in
His word Fourth, be steadfast against
secret sins. Fifth, SteadfaSt to prin-
ciple, regardless of what it costs.
Sixth, steadfast in Christian service,
taking our part in active work for
God. He said let us be more stead
fast along all Lines and this will be
the best year in all our lives as a
church.
