Last night'3 meeting at st. Johns
Methodist church was one of peculiar
inspiration as n great body OF men
the bone and Eincw OF our town, sat
In body singing praise unto God and
giving ear To the messages brought
unto them. After songs by MIR. Dan
nsr. the song Ninety and Nine" was
sung out by the body OF men,
Mr.. Dick Ligon, the teacher of the
Mems Bible Class, wac asked to bring
message 10 this body of men. The
keynote OF his talk was Render unto
God the things that are Gods"
Nothing Is so great as man who
serves God. In serving God not only
does an individual, but also a nation
IL led to prosper, to have peace and joy
The great men are men serving God
and giving unto God that which be-
longs to Him. Mr.. Lyon has done a
great work and his presence was an
inspiration.
Mr.. Spcaxe, then in plain. hones,
words brought his message. "No man
livcth unto himself" In the home the
child Is led according to the atmos-
phcre of his elders. We are the maxi
ers OF morals for the child and !
should be led up by pure. temperate.
honest, clean, father-"to flag for the
End Section on which rise our boys,
our girls. onr home, our encouragin
society to stand in our places or re-
sponsibiiity, for the protection of the
morals and physical life of our chill
dren. Our personal liberty, well, we
have no personal liberty for we are
interdcr ndent upon each other in our
responsibility not only in leoding pure.
clean lives for our children, but fCl
the children of our neighbors'
For the sake of these children we
love, he pleaded, for honest, pure,
clean characters on the part of the
fathers as examples for that which
we want our children to be in purity
OF speech, in righteousness.
f"iWith the need OF our children, this
End OF our community before
'us, we were aroused to our RESPONSE
bility as parents and leaders His
message thus came In its bearing up
on mans destiny to God himself, to
his family and to society, Gods word
calls upon man for a reckoning of his
standard before God as relates to
mans personal character Am d
clean man? We go to church from
Sunday to Sunday but IL we know the
blessedness OF going to the house of
God we shall -c-of care for, nor lead
others into any places where there Is
temptation. to partake OF that which
ruins spirit. soul AID body.
Just as Mr., Speake was concluding
bts message. many gathered around
the altar to get before God. to get
better knowledge OF their own unwor-
thincss and better conception of
Gods power In the winning of souls,
In the winning Of strong men to
Christ and His service. Many gath
,e-ec there in prayer for members Of
their families, friends, and relatives :.
When Mr.. Danner led In prayer there
were men gathered in and around the
altar seeking for a more complete
surrender of their lives to God. II
