Special services for Father and
Son were held at the Central
Christian church yesterday.
The pastor, Aev ]. e. Gordon,
chose as his subject yesterday
morning, Fathers Footsteps"
He stressed the importance OF
the spiritual influence that Dad
has over the boy, and said, "A
Father is always glad to hear
someone say that his son looks
just like Dad. The question is,
does he always like to have people
say, The boy looks just like him
spiritually. /" Too many do not rea-
lie that the boy Is naturally an
imitator and this applies spiritual.
ly as well as Intellectually and
physically, and Dad Is the ono who
has tho great opportunity to in
fluence him. Many times the
mother has to try to be a dad and
mother combined, and she can al.
ways do so much better at this JOB
than the dad.
Rev. Gordon spoke OF the faith.

Eellward Footsteps, the Power OF

with his SON." There wero many

text from Luke s:14. And he
spoke this parable unto certain

they were righteous and despised

Male lambs should be castrated at
about two weeks of age. Get the
lambs in clean, dry place and do
the work on nice day. Hands and
knife should be scrupulously clean.
Cut off the lower end of the scrotum
and DULL out the testicles and entire
