Rev. w. +. Doty Of the Methodist
church spoke Sunday morning OF
Jacobs life. especially of his wrest-
ling with the angel and the change
which then came over his life. Jacob
found it was impossible to hide or
get away from God. 1t is almost i'm
possible to get away from man to-
day, yet many men are trying to
evade an infinite God who knows all
about us Men will know all about
us some day, for time reveals all
things. God does not develop a
mans spiritual life until man seeks
TO know His will Trouble, hard
times and poverty frequently prove
to be the greatest blessings by bring
ing men to God. Poverty is good for
most of us. Its amazing how little
money it takes to make some men
independent of God. When men
grasp for money they lose their grip
on eternal things. Our failure is
largely a lack of faith in Gods prom

Sunday In The Churches

Use, Seek we first the kingdom of
heaven and His righteousness and all
these things shall be added unto
you"
The leadership of the Mems W..
W. Bible class by Carl II. Washburn
last Sunday, developed the thought
that a failure to believe in Christ con-
sttuted sin and this unbelief was
enough to condemn us to everlasting
punishment even though we lived an
otherwise moral and upright life.
Last Sunday was observed as Com
munion day in the Baptist church,
the pastor Rev. J. w. Priest, spoke
very appropriately from the text,
This do in remembrance of me-"
His thought clearly expressed the
view that Christ directed that all who
follow him should partake Of the
communion and to do in remcm-
brance of Christ's life, his love and
sacrifice for us.

If, after. a person died Of heart

to be examined. it had to be dissect-
