Sermon At First M. E.
Church Sunday Morning

Rev James H. Elder, pastor Of the
First Methodist Church used as his
text Sunday morning, Isa. 58:1l The
Lord shall guide Thee Continually,
and Satisfy Thy Soul in Drought"
In the Introductory attention was
called TO the secret OF aImsgiving sta
ted in the context which said, IF thou
draw out thy soul to the hungry and
satisfy the afflicted soul This means
first sympathy then practical assist
ancc as we are able TO render it.
The subject was Guided, Provided,
Refreshed We are continually trav-
cling or journeying and the greatest
journey OF all is Lies Journey, from
the cradle to the grave. A guide is
essential on a strange journey. God
has promised to be Our Guide all the
way and a suitable prayer is Jesus,
Savior Pilot Me" This guidance
should not be spasmodic, but persist
ant and continual to the end.
On the journey we need to be sup
piled with what is necessary and we
have the promise in Phil 4:l9 My
God shall supply all your need accord
ing to his riches in glory by Christ
Jesus
On the journey we need relief from
the WEAKNESS and toll OF life. God gives
us this relief through His Holy Spir-
ii, who comes as our Comforter The
duties and cares Of life cause the soul
TO droop and be discouraged, "Hc will
satisfy thy soul in drought.
Many helpful passages were quoted
and the closing was the quoting of the
beautiful hymn:
Lead, kindly Light, amid the encirc-
ling gloom,
Lead Thou me on!
The night is dark and am far from
home;
Lead Thou me on!
Keep thou my feet; | do not ask to see
The distant scene; One step enough
for me-
was not ever thus, nor prayed that
thou Shoudst lead me on;
! loved % choose and see my path;
but now Lead thou me on!
loved the garish day, and, spite of
fears,
Pride Ruled my will Remember not
past yearsl
30 long thy power hast blcst me,
sure it still will lead me on,
Ger moor and fen, DER crag and tor
rem, till the night is gone.
And with the morn those angel ia
ces smile,
Which have loved long since and
lost a while.

yard rapid-fire range have been reg
istered by a number of entries in
their daily practice. A team average
of 90 must be attained and the men
who are selected will shoot this aver
age.
The keen interest evidenced by the
contestants for place is best illus
trated by the action of superintend-
ent of New Orleans police, Guy R.
Molony, who has been called to New
York to the meeting of international
police chiefs. Chief Molony took his
rifle with him and will continue to
shoot while in convention there.
