The attitude Of the Governor toward

REV. FOWLER AT NJ. e.
CHURCH LAST NIGHT

Subject: ENeglect. The speaker :
text: Hebrews 2:3, "How shall we es-
cape if we neglect so great salvation.
He said part:
Tn secular life nearly all failures are
traeeable to neglect. The neglected
farm is nonproduetive the neglected
tree becomes unfruitful; the lawyer
doctor or business man fails through
neglect; the student neglects his stud
les and fails as a result. All of this
disastrous neglect results from allow
inc disinclination to rule. If one i
trvng to succeed he must constantly
urge himself into the performance OF
his duty because it is duty, whether
he feels like it or not. This fact IS
patent to all Yet protesting Christ.
ians neglect prayer because they dc
not feel like PRAYING; they do not fee
like reading the Bible, and God s word
is neglected: they do not feel like at
tending church or pravermeeting, anc
these are neglected. The oftener we
NEGLECT the less we feel like it and
the less we feel like it the oftener we
neglect. and the final result must be
sniritual decay, and there is no escape
except we turn again to the Lord.
The meetings are growing in inter
est and attendance. Good music is
feature of the meetings. You are cor
diaTlv invited to attend.
