 Rev. Joseph F. Cobb and choir of the Church of the Good Shepherd were at the She1tering Arms for the Sunday afternoon service. The text of the address was, He is not far from each one of us Tn these times much thought is being given to God Christ and religion said the speaker Man knows that the source of help is out side himself, when trouble, dark ness, weakfess and turmoil come then eh seeks someone upon whom to lean. then comes the thought of God. Christ taught that God does not care for forms, reliance on ceremonies is not true religion. The first principles of Christ's teaching were that true re- iikion is simple and spiritual. God is love, God is not far away but all ways with US. We may think of Him as intent on our wants, Trials. joys and hopes as if we were the sole ob- jects of His love. He should. have our praise that His bounty flows to all His creatures. Do we always re- member that God is near and so have His peace and happiness As we lose the sense of Gods presence, as we forget Him, peace is gone, hope dies and the future is dim. Earnestly strive to open your souls to the real ization of Gods influence. May we find in ourselves the consciousness of the presence of our Father for in Him we live and move and have our being. Special selections by the choir were the anthems, Will Lay Me Down in Peace, and. o God Who Hast Prepar- ed For Them That Love Thee in the latter anthem Miss Mary F Rogers gave the solo most acceptably.
