PASTOR URGES COOPERATION
Thinks Individual Should Keep in
Closer Touch With Church.

Closer touch with the churches on the
part of the Individual and more active CO.
operation We're urged by the Rev. John w.
Walker. who was the principal speaker
today at the monday services in s..
Peters Protestant Episcopal Church, Sd
and Pine streets. The speaker took for
his topic our Opposition to Learn the
Lesson of Love"
I'VE err I'm Christian life" he said,
when we suppose that Heaven is a posi-
tion rather than a condition But men
object to Christian teaching because there
is nothing personal in 1t and because they
say God has favorltes' Our Lord shows
the very opposite, seeking out the harlot
the publican and the sinner. There seems
to be a danger of the church losing in
divldual touch. but Baptism and Con-
firmation emphasize this. To believe that
God loves me- is an incentive for an
active life.
