URGES HEARERS
TO DO MORE OF
WORLDS WORK
Helpful Address at Univer-
saIist Church by Glover
Pastor

The Church of the Messiah was
we'll filled Sunday morning and the
pulpit was occupied by Rev. Olive
kimball, pastor of the Community
church at Glover. The preacher took
for her text from ! Cor. 1891, "They
that use the world, as not abusing it. =
Mrs. kimball spoke in part as fol-
! lows:
eff the church stands for nothing
else in our modern lives. it is still our
house of retreat. Men speak of the
church as the place where people
come to be alone with their better
selves. We have no thought of The
world apart from the people. There
j, Il difference between being of the
world and being in the world. If Il
man or woman is in the world they
are Il part of everything and if we
are drifting, making little impression.
Jesus prayed that His disciples might
be in the world, but not Of it.
"Our text is thought from st.
Paul, who speaks of using the world
and not abusing it. No wise man
abuses his tools. Whether our tools
be the house we live in, Il piece of
land, or our work, we should not
abuse them.
ave all have relations with men
and women and these relations should
not be ignored.
Ill ,1.,t, l. ii
women and we should ignore these
Citations. The world receives abuse
from the man or woman who will not
make themselves useful. We rush by
the little things and forget the people
who need lis.
"Even the fashions change. Go to
the attic and look at the hat you wore
five years ago. All you would do with
lit now is loan it to somcon for Il play.
These things of the world are simply
for our use. The useful like attach
cs itself to the real true things of
life.
eff we have not what we like, let
u like what we have. The Golden
Rule is still satisfactory for men to
shape their lives. Our plan today is
to be in the world and not out of it.
The world is not the evil place We
sometimes think.
"Men are here to develop the ply
! steal. All about Us we meet these
4 cannot men and women. If we arc
to live our lives we should be willing
to do some of the worlds work and
fill our hours with wholesome labor.
Here in this town are interests try
ing to improve the community. Give
to the world the best you have and
the world will come back to YOU"
