Our mid-week service is arousing con-
siderable interest. Many are asking
questions and studying the Bible as
they never did before. The richness of
the treasure house of Gods word is be-
ginning to be understood by those who
come to the m:d-week service seeking
for the eternal values. The services
are all free and anyone who wishes may
come and receive for himself such
truths as will enable him to meet the
worlds problems and obtain eternal
happiness. Our Saviour spake as never
man spake. He speaks to-day to all
who will hear him. If he would speak
to you, personally, in order to offer you
the greatest good, would you consent to
give him few minutes of 'your"
time? Perhaps you say you have no
time; well, you are correct IN that
statement. You do not possess
moment that you can call ''your own.
Time and everything else belongs to
him. Even you are his, although you
may not realize it. Come and inherit
the blessings which have been pur-
chased for you since the foundations of
the world. Do not cheat. yourself by
trying to cheat God.
