Methodist Church Notes

all day. At the morning hour, the
Pastors subject was The Miraculous
Draught of Fishes, Luke5: l-12 At
3 p. NJ. the Sunday School teachers
and officers of the city had a meet
ing at First Church with Mr.. a. Ear
ly, Field Secretary of Sunday Schools,
for the Louisiana Annual Conference.
Our teachers and officers were repre-
scented. The Epworth Leaguers went
to the Bonner home and held ser
vices. The Pastor made the talk and
the Leaguers furnished the music.
OF special mention was a duet by
Mines. Summers and Hebert.
At night we had one of the largest
congregations. we have had for some
time. The Pastor spoke on the mat
ter OF Christians Obeying the laws
of the land in which they live, and
read and discussed the % article of
religion of the Methodist Church,
which is as follows: The President,
the congress, the general assemblies,
the governors, and the councils Of
state, as the delegates of the people
are the rulers of the L. S. of Amer
lea, according to the division Of pow
er made to them by the constitution
of the U. S. and by the constitutions
of their respective states. And the
said states are a sovereign and in
dependent nation. and ought no. to
be subject to any foreign jurisdic-
ton" The text used for the talk
was: | Peter 2:13 and IA. Submit
yourself 10 every ordinance of man
for the Lords sake: whether it be
TO the king as supreme; or unto gov
ernors. as unto them that are sent
by him for the punishment of evil
doors. as for the praise of them that
do we'll"
The Pastor explained that it would
seem absurd to speak of the matter
of observing the laws of the land ex
cept for the fact that from so many
sources all over the world there was
such a thorough disregard for the
laws. Christian people should dc
all things that are possible to have
the majesty of the law supreme. In
the book of Matthew 17:24-27 we
read that when they were come to
Caperneum they that received tri5'
ute money came to Peter and said
Dost not your Master pay tribute!
After a little conversation Jesus told
him: "Not withstanding, lest we
should offend them, go thou and
cast a hook. and take up the fish that
first cometh up; and when thou hast
opened his mouth thou shalt find a
piece of money; take that and give
it unto them for me and thee"
The audience was urged to do al
possible to promote a spirit of law
| enforcement in the community and tC
pray for all rulers of our land. The
| choir rendered nice music consisting
of anthems and a quartette by DR.
Fay. Mrs. Summers, and Mr.. and Mrs
| Sanford Hebert.
