Whenever YOU find the progressive.

OF Jesus and those who accept His
teachings. said Rev. W. II. Freshley.

dress on the theme ''Ye Are the salt
Of the Earth"
What would this old earth be

answering it ne said.
An answer is found 20 the ques-
ton If we go TO India. China, Africa.
where the church has not found its
way with its salty influence The
people have not taken Christ yet and
that is why they still live in supersti-
tion and idolitry
The great work the disciples have
10 do is not only TO be good but 20
do good. Christ takes il for granted
that society is corrupt and tending
to corruption. Because Of this ten
deucy to corruption society needs

I do not need 10 be sailed. Christ would
say. Human society. without any in

He says. And now abideth faith,

In speaking further on the subject
Rev. Parsons said:
The more we study the words Of
Christ the more we are convinced OF
their divine origin. Jesus makes love
the crown jewel among the Christian
