life OF following Christ, Sunday

dience to a splendid discourse. He
chose as his subject, Exodus 1918:
when | see the blood I will pass
over you" He gave a graphic his
tory of the Isrealites from the time
God told Abraham to get thee out of
thy own country, and away from
thy kinsmen, and on and on till
they crossed the Red Sea and was
safely landed on Canaan, the Land
of Promise which they had been
struggling to reach for more than
a hundred and twenty years. Rev.
Bonner is a plain common sense
preacher, and doesn't try to deal
with Science and Theory which the
average preacher makes a mess" Of.
Rev. G. ]. Baker has returned from
Houston and Galveston. where he
spent the holidays, and reports an
time. He says the people
in South Texas are obsessed with a
and sticlx-to-it-ivenes

to see the spirit of cooperation
here among his people.
