Advent Church

Rev. L. K. Peabody of st. Johnsbury
was welcomed to the church and pulpit
last Sunday. He spoke with his usual
earnestness, and it was evident that he
reached the hearts of his hearers. The
text was from James 1:2, "My brethren
count it all joy when ye fall into divers
temptations" Mr.. Peabody considered
the source and relative value of our trials,
temptations, and the glorious opportuD-
ity of victory. These are tests of char
acter. and ourFather has re-inforcements
to help us win our llaurels. Theidevil can
not master us unless we let him; there is
no power to oblige us to sin; sin is volun-
tary consent of the will; the gates of hell
cannot prevail against the man who is
buttressed by the power of God; "over-
coming promises" are On our side.
In the evening Mr.. Peabody spoke from
1 Peter 2.21, Leaving us an example.
that ye should follow his steps," What
was the example Jesus left for us? How
can we follow his steps? What would
Jesus do? How can | know what he
would do in my place? Questions of
vital interest were answered in the light
of Scripture.
