! The Trials Of Church,
IT read of an association church
letter some time ago. which said:
dismissed-none; died-none; mar,
ried-none: given to the missions
nothing: paid the pastor-nothine.
Pray for us. brethren. that we may
hold our own during the coming year
And sometimes preachers report the

AS q result. some of our churches are
IN bad shape. That's why we have q
lot OF these isrns and schisms and faith
cures. and holy rollers, and holy howl
ers. and holy Jumpers, and a great va
Sfety Of fads that have swept through
the church to take people away from
Jesus Christ, and anything that takes
you away from God comes from hell
and 1t comes from the DEVIL
The DEVILS business is to inspire
people, by the evil spirit In them, not
to pray. not to be decent. not to serve
God-that all comes from the devil.
Fads Fool the People.
"And anything that's advocated that
doesn't advocate Jesus Christ as the
Savior Of men, is of the devil. The
devil, you know, transforms himself
into an angel Of light and he mixes re-
ligaon up with lot of these fads just

that he's very Jealous for righteous
ness. when he doesn't give a picayune
about 1t: he's liar from the very be-
ginning, and that's his business.
That's why we have these things.
and many times / find preachers are
chasing after these fads instead of
after souls, instead OF trying to win
people for the Lord. Some of them are

than being in the church to be soul

business to talk religion. but it's no
more my business than it's your busj- :

preacher to talk religion than it's the
business of the Sunday school teacher
or any others in the rank and file. It's
just as much your business to helm win
people to Christ as It's the preachers
