NJ. 2. CHURCH NOTES
The new pastor OF our church. Rev.
John Austin Cooper, preached his
first sermon here, yesterday before
large and attentive audience. He
comes we'll equipped for the work Of
a large parish. as he is an U'Graduate
Of Royal University of Dublin, where
he took honors in Classics, and two
years ago spent year at s. r. e. of
Boston University. 1t is fortunate
for the church that the new pastor
will be a resident one, as this will
enable him to do more pastoral work.
Mr.. Cooper Is full of enthusiasm for
HIS new field of labor and already Is
making plans to organize an Epworth
League and to help raise the present
Indebtedness of the church besides
planning more progressive work at
Embden. Judging from favorable
comments of last Sunday a happy and
helpful pastorate is assured members
and pastor. Mr.. Cooper chose for
his subject, "Calvation Through Our
Divine Christ" and showed the var
ious methods man has resorted to
in the past to obtain salvation, but 1t
is only the power of Christ that can
transform the lives OF men and as
sure them an entrance into the Hea-
venly Kingdom of God.
