held at the usual time on Sunday |
afternoon with Rev. Richard f. Ora
ham, rector of Christ Episcopal |
church, in charge The subject Of his
address was. Companionship of God |

| Sometimes men themselves are not |
believers in God. We DO not believe |
that the great companion is dead, but |
we do recognize God, for He is spoken |
of in Scripture as the Great God. |

| God he was asked to leave his own |
! land and go into q new land and
here he found land OF great prom |
! ise God is the great Companion of
man. If we see God in the face OF
Jesus Christ daily we know He is in
sympathy with u.s.

man and by His life and His teach

has greater knowledge and broader
ideas. God is q stimulating compan-
ion, He gives new light to things. The
ordinary things Of life may be trans
formed by His presence. He is a
companion in whom we can rely on n
D.! our hour of need, whose strength we
may depend upon, fer when we are
weak we can rely on Him. He is one
