FULTON NOTES.

Mr. Norman Yates, Of the l. S.
Transport Pocahontas, is visiting his
people Of 1875 Denny Street, Fulton.
Though tho church buildings have
been closed, because Of the great
epidemic, many people are kicking,
not knowing that they have great
opportunity for real Christian service
by giving our aid in some way, OF
cooperation with the Health Depart
ment and our doctors. (The devil
causes us to kick and fuss.) Let
us take things as they are, simply
trusting in God.
Remember tho great words which
Jesus will pronounce at the judg-
ment. Not how many times you
went to the church building, but the
real service you rendered to Him;
that is, ono Of His least ones. Let
us put more stress on real service,
than congregating for praise or learn
ing to serve.
Muny are very sick, but are I'M
proving.
Tho Influenza 10 we'll unuer con.
