1t is the same call the Church has
made for centuries, Kidding us all
for a few short weeks Nto intensity
the means that produce holier and
better lives. Ii is a wise custom, for
we all know well that there are no
times in life when blessings descend
so richly upon the soul as in the
quiet, meditative hours, when alone
with God; We learn more of duty and
find ways to fulfill it-of privileges.
and enter upon their enjoyment.
| wish | might say the word that
would cause every one who reads
these lines to respond to the Church's
call and make full use of a season
so rich in blessings to every earnest
soul
Then to the earnest. faithful. con-
5cientious. active Christians, who can
always be relied upon to cooperate
in every way to advance the cause
of Christ. l know that in waiting
upon the Lord they will renew their
strength and be more earnest still
in the days to come.
To the half-hearted, fitful excuse
making. occasional Christians this
season will lead them to awake out
of sleep. to return to their neglected
duties, and to the privileges of
noble Christian life.
And to those who have dropped
entirely away from Christian habits,
who have forgotten their Christian
vows, who have become dead to God
and to His Church, and to all those
influences that bind men to Christ.
the call of this season means a res
direction to newness of life.
The call comes to all of us alike
and blessing awaits every soul. and

Methodist Church Notes
Rev. c C. Wier, Pastor. Residence
$50 Olivier, Phone Alg. 1873.

Last Sunday we had good music
at both services, furnished by MiZ-
pah choir, consisting of anthems
with beautiful solo and duet parts.
At the morning hour we had the
privilege of hearing DR.. Brandon OF
Admission, Ala. He is a member OF
the North Alabama Conference and
presiding elder of the district His
message was very helpful and car
ried with it hope for the progress Of
the Church and the success OF the
Centenary movement One very in
teresting item that he mentioned was
his visit to the great meeting of all
the presiding elders and bishops and
editors of our Church papers that
met in Memphis, Tenn, in January.
There were great reports from all
countries, and from the islands of the
sea. He said that he went to this
great meeting from district confer
ance in Alabama, thinking that 1t
was the finest he had ever attended
in all of his life But when he heard
the reports of presiding elders on
missionary ground he felt that he
had to sit up and take notice. One
district that has been supported by
our Centenary money reported thirty
three candidates for the ministry
since the last Annual Conference
had convened. The reports from the
various places of the earth showed
the triumph of the Gospel and the
establishing of the Kingdom in the
uttermost parts of the earth. News
like this makes Christians feel that
they are not sacrificing in vain. 1t
was a great movement and has been
a blessing to our Church and to other
denominations.
