To the Methodist people: As the
churches are to be closed Sunday n
would suggest that we observe our
regular time Of morning service or
some portion Of it in our homes. that
we read Gen. IS, 49, Matt. 10. 5 and
Deut. IL, Is, 10, all of which relate TO
the Home. That we consider our own
homes. Are they what they ought to
be, does Jesus Christ have first place
in our affections and in our plans?
Does our conversation please Him?
Are we thoughtful of and as kind as
we ought to be to one another? Do
we take time for the daily reading of
the Bible and for prayer? Let us pray
one for another. Some are sick. some
are dying, many are in tears, let us
therefore come bodily to the throne of
grace, that we may obtain mercy.
and find grace to help in time of need.
p. l.. Dow, pastor.
