Rev McHenry, pastor of the Baptist
church who chose for his theme
Preparing For Life
He opened by calling attention to
the fact that while it is not necessary
to worry and fret over the future but
let each day take care of the things
of itself, yet it is necessary to have
plans and visions for the future and
in those visions and plans the thought
of service, things that are worth
while and things that count with the
idea OF getting somewhere should be
taken into consideration
Preparation is necessary and the
| members of. the class which is just
graduating have realized this during
their years of high school work In
all lines of work and profession there
| Is demand for those who are pre-
pared and a greater demand for the
expert. One cannot be too well pre-
pared in his or her chosen line of
| work He compared life to a battle
| with the statement that those who are
| the best prepared, physically mental
", morally and spiritually are the
| most sure of winning the fight
| What is preparation, the speaker
| asked Preparation is education and
education is a knowledge of things
and events obtained by study, obser-
walton and experience In this edu-
| cation there is a vision for a better
and greater future but all do not see
| 1t IN It's true form He illustrated his
| idea with reference to the sunset
and the mountains Some see them
as q result of natural conditions and
a matter of fact while others also see
| IN them the beauty and grandeur and
| the handIwork of the divine creator
None. are truly prepared for life who
have not working knowledge of the
Bible and it's teachings as the inspired
NSOA%4 u >IOO anu get Ihe VISION OF
life that Cod would have them.
Moses and Saul of Tarsus were edu-
Gated men but neither manifested the
true greatness which was in him m
til he had seen the vision sent from
God and has accepted the message il
| conveyed to him Plans for useful
ness must include God in them Ma
, tlons and individuals have all per
Ished who have forgotten God or left
him out of their plans. True success
cannot be attained if God is left out
because the individual or nation is
not prepared to withstand temptation
without Him. He is also necessar,
! IN the preparations for the next life
IN the world to come The sermon

young and old
