MUST
Be MADE OVER
iDr. Parker Speaks at Metho-
dist Church on Recon-
StruCtion Period.

At the First Methodist church
Sunday morning DR.. B. z. Parker,
pastor. preached an admirable SER
mon On Stewardship OF Prayer" in
the course OF which he said:
In that wonderful letter TO the
Corinthians. Paul defines a Christian
as a steward of the mysteries OF
God. He further said that the first
requirement OF a steward is that he
be found faithful. OF all the mys-
teries of God none are greater than
prayer. To be faithful. in prayer is
the condition out OF which all worth
while work proceeds. The text con-
tains a solemn warning for the
church OF today. We stand face to
face with a test as great as that the
disciples faced on that eventful day.
The eyes of the world are upon US.
Shall we stand Inundated by our
incapacity to do the work we are
expected a representatives OF Christ
TO do? We certainly shall unless we
face the high undertakings OF the
hour in the spirit OF prayer.
