NORWICH TOWN
Rev. H. T. Arnold Conducted Services
 at SheIterins Arms-PersonaIs.

The regular Sunday afternoon meet
 ing at the Sheltering Arms was con- ducted by Rev. MT. Arnold. His text was taken from Christ's sermon on the mount, Matt. 1929.
 He explained the parable about the wise and the foolish man building their houses upon the rock and upon the sand. He said by wise is meant the good soul that makes to become better and by foolish is meant one who let's opportunities slip. No mat ter how far we are along in years we can be better and if we wish to inn prove we must build upon the Rock. We have to build little by little for none can make themselves over in a minute, but can build little by little every minute. The wise are prepared when trouble came and through trials they obtain virtue, patience, and cour- age. The Rock that the wise build on is the Rock of Truth, Christ, We can learn a thousand good things from nature, but the best is Christ, for he said I am the Way, the Truth and the Life. There is no choice. all must build, and we have to choose between rock or sand. The great teaching of Christ is, All ye are sisters and one is our Father. If everyone believed this, the world would be heaven. We must try and make earth like heaven, we must learn something every day, some kindness for someone else We should believe in Jesus and build on the Rock:
