church attendance at the morning service was
much smaller than usual. Mr. MCKINNEY
read the first four verses in the 10th chapter
of Matthew and in the epste CT James 6; the
2nd chapter, the first verse also from the
fourteenth to the twenty-siXth. The text was
James 2;l9; Thou believest that there Is enc

entirely by actions. "For the body without
the spirit is dead, SO faith without works is
dead" The pastor was in charge of the even

Samuel 80: Is, l6. II. explaining why David,
after expressing wish for water from the

who had risked their lives getting it, but drink
