In October 1907. he opened a Bible
school in Baltimore, where his personality
and methods, it is said. soon won for him
many friends and the hearty cooperation
Of Maryland Baptists. In July. 1908, he
organized the Druid Park Baptist Church,
making it possible in five years for the
congregation to own a property costing
over $4,000. Early in 1913 his failing
health made it necessary for him to give
up this work and go to Leesburg, Va,
from which point he accepted the call to
Clarendon.
The work at Clarendon, it is said, fur
nishes opportunity for large development
and the church is peculiarly fortunate in
securing the services of a leader regarded
as SO fully qualified
The subjects for Sunday preaching serv-
ices are as follows: Eleven am. "PauIs
Secret of Christianity" and at 7:3O pm,

The great lesson to be learned III the
acceptance of Abel's sacrifice and the re-
lection of Gains is that the one APP
preached God by the prescribed and APP
pointed method and the other not only
neglected this, but presumptuously sub
stituted his own method There is but
one right way and that is Gods way. In
the very early history of the first family
Of mankind we are taught that obedience
to the commands of God insures bless
ings, honor and prosperity. and that dis
obedience entails distress. dishonor and
disaster.

Esther

So great is the Importance of the life
story of Esther and Ruth that each has
whole book in the Bible bearing their
names.
Esther. the Jewish captive, by her great
beauty and remarkable accomplishments
gained the affection of the King of Persia,
and by marriage with him was raised to
the throne. and was thus enabled to pro-
cure the delverance of the Jews from
a general destruction that had been con-
certed by the offended pride OF Haman.
The beautiful story. attractive and
striking in all it's settings, teaches the
lesson. among others. of loyalty to the
claims of kindred and religion, and in a
wondrous way .manifests the kind prov
idence of God in His dealings with His
people.

Ruth.

The book of Ruth is the most perfect
and beautiful love story ever written
The history of Ruth's life is most beau
tifully told. The sweetness and SIM
plicity of manners which is shown in
Ruth's industry and attention to Naomi,
the delightful beneyolence of Boaz and
his acknowledgment of kinship with
Ruth, all produce a perfectly delightful
effect upon the mind of the reader.
The lesson from Ruth is the power and
blessing of affection in the life and in
the home Her life teaches much con-
corning the duties and joys in domestic
affairs.
Decision of character is another i'm
portant lesson to be drawn from this
story. In deciding upon the right way
to go and the right thing to do there
should be no wavering. mo shadow Of
turning"
On the question of casting your lot
with Gods people the decisive ring of
Ruths resolution should be the echo
from your heart.
