phone quartet from the Goth infantry
band accompanied chaplain Axton to
the church Wednesday night and
played a number Of sacred selections
during the service
We have all experienced the great
joy that follows the recovery of some
thing lost" said chaplain AXton in his
discussion OF the famous parable.
When a man has lost his physical
health and feels himself slipping day
by day, physically, the joy is like that
of heaven to realize that one has re-
gained his health and is again strong
and well and fitted to do Gods work.
There is no joy like the joy of win
ming back the spiritually lost. Soul
winning is a joyful work. There is a
JOY in the heart of the one who was
lost, there is joy in the hearts of the
friends and loved ones and there is joy
in heaven"
The saxophone quartet will play
again tonight and II. B. Durkee Of the
Y. NJ. c, A will speak.
