The Sunday afternoon service at the
Sheltering Arms was in charge of
Rev. George H. Streuse, pastor of the
First Bavtist church. There was
Scripture reading from the 91st Psalm
curing which the speaker said The
secret of our lives. is in the first verse,
HE that dwelleth in the secret place
of the Most High shall abide under
the shadow Of the Almighty" The
subject of the address was Weaving
the Web of Life
Rev Mr.. Strouse spoke interesting
ly OF how we weave into our lives the
material used, and the result when orr
garment Of life is finished.
He expressed the thought that there
was more universal spirit of Jesus
in the world at the present time. than
ever. before. When Christ is en-
| throned there will be justice in the
world. When the Golden Age comes
we all will be free and happy, and it
surely is coming. God has His best
| in store for us. and our best is in the
future. My message to you at this
! time is taken from the Goth Psalm, the
speaker said, We spend our years as
a tale that is told. Our time is short
here but long enough to prepare our
| selves. We are weaving khe web OF
| life. Gods life is eternalI but mans
life is like tale that is told The
| future is already to greet Us. All our
lives are woven into that eternal web
but we must. be careful justJwhat kind
Of thread we are using in this wet
Of life.
We can't recall what has PAST the
last year: let the old year pass away
| each one of us will continue to weave
next year. We each have charge OF
our own loom, and so are RESPONSE
Bile for our own garment.
Universal census has found tina
Jesus had no flaw IN his garment; :
perfect garment came out of His life
There We're four threads woven int
Jesus life. First, the white threa'
Of purity. God can use people tina
are Pure; they are a channel for hea
vents best men and women; second
The purple thread Of royalty If yo1
belong to Jesus Christ you will bav
royal blood in your veins. Not 0
one born in a palace, but one who ha
achieved something. Third. the gol
den thread of optimism. Christ wa
optimistic. He said every thing
going to be all right. and gave chez
to his disciples under the shadow c
the cross. Fourth the red cord {
