Fooks. He said that he appreciates
the manifestation of love that is

doing what he can to save men. He

Inc church was beautifully deco
The church was beautifully deco
rated with graceful palms and ferns
ihtermingled with roses, carving
out most effectively color motif of
white and green.
While the guests were assemb-
ling, Mrs. D. R. Williams at the
organ rendered several appropriate
musical numbers and at the appoint-
ed hour the strains of the bridal
chorus from 'Lohengrin' announced
the approach of the wedding party
The bride entered with her maid
OF honor, Miss VERNE Swindel. of
gainesville, who was her only at
tendant. and they were met at the
chancel by the groom and his best
man Mr. Robert Matthews.
The bride, who is an attractive
young woman. was gowned for trav-

poplin, with blouse of self-t-oned
Georgette repe and white hat
trimmed with contrasting shade of
blue. Her flowers were an arm bou-

The maid of honor wore tai
lored suit of brown broadcloth with
a dainty silk crepe flesh colored
blouse and hat to match. She car
ried an arm bouquet of pink carna-
tons.
The brides mother, Mrs. Al

the Bible-the book he so much de-
spised-and his old house is used as
store room by the Geneva Bible
Society.
There are three personages in the
| text-Paul, the prisoner, that man
of God who was willing to stand be-
fore his present judge, or anywhere
else that God could use him; Felix,
the wicked judge, once slave to the
| government, but now a slave to pas
sion and selfishness. clothed in his
royal purple, but poorer far than the
humble prisoner who stood before
him; and the woman in the case,
Drusilla, she who had a questionable
past and knew nothing about God.
In this small company, but one so
averse to Paul and his Christ, he
stands boldly and fearlessly, and in
his miniature physical strength, but
his giant faith, breaches a pointed,
appropriate sermon-one suited to
his audience. He brings to the mind
of Felix so forcefully the sins of his
past life that Felix trembles under
the power of the gospel, as he is
convicted of his wrong doing. We
present-day preachers need to preach
more pointed, convicting sermons for
We do not know when we are giving
| someone a last chance to accept
Christ. We need more Christianity
and not so much churchianity
There were no services this morn

On Sunday there will be three serv-
ices at the church. At the morning
hour DR.. Fooks will preach on, 1.-THE
Presence, Power and Personality of

the afternoon there will be mass
meeting, when he will deliver a SER

close with the one held Sunday even

DR.. fOOkS' SERMONS
CONTINUE TO
DRAW CROWDS

Yesterday morning splendid
congregation was present at the ser
vice and heard another forceful
sermon by DR.. Fooks, whose pres
ence in our city has proven great
blessing to all who have been at
tending.
His subject was, Staying Lions
and Eating Honey" using as a text
Judges 1883. In part, he said: mo
cumstances and draw from them
such helpful lessons. From this SIM
pie bit of history the Bible draws
some wonderful truths. This is the
theme of man who won a great
| victory, not through his strength,
but as God permitted him. Samson
taking his parents with him. In the
| gardens of Timnath a lion attacks
him. when he was separated from
his parents, but in Gods strength he
smites it, saying nothing about it to
anyone. Meantime the bees find the
carcass of the lion a suitable place
to build hive. Upon Samson's re-
turn he finds the bees and resolves
to get gain out of his victory so he
takes up some of the honey and eats
it. cheerfully dividing with his
mother and father.
well not discuss the difficulties
and riddles, but the plain, practical
facts that we may draw from this
lesson, trusting that thereby we may
gain encouragement. He would new
err have eaten the honey had he not
| first killed the lion-won the vic
| tory. To the man who has strength,
courage and will power to kill the
| lion-win the victory over trials
that attack him-will come the
pleasure of eating the honey. The
believers life has it's conflicts. No
cross, no crown; no sweat, no
sweets; no conflict, no conquest.
These conflicts begin early in the
Christian life, the tempter whisper
ing siren-like in his ear: and often
they will be as terrible and powerful
as was the lion g strength. They will
come most unexpectedly, at the hour
he feels that he is protected. And
just as it was God that gave Sam
son strength to overpower this en-
envy of his, just so surely will we
be able to overcome our adversaries
If We face them in His strength.
THANK God, His children are not
always killing lions; they are some
times eating the honey. Nothing is
worth having that is not worth
working for. You will note that as
, soon as Samson found the honey he
was willing and anxious to divide
with others. The believers life leads
him to give of his blessings to 9TH
ers. About all we are fit for in this
life is the good we can do to others
the sweets we may pass on to our
fellowmen. We need more practical
religion, not SO much of the theoret-
ical. God needs no wall flowers; He
put us here, not as ornaments, but
to do service for others. The best
evidence Of genuine conversion is
the desire to help someone else enjoy
the same experience.

Miss higgins, DR.. FoOks made few
