Attentive Audience At
Fist of Bible Classes G.. of c..

very attentive audience listened
to Evangelist Lawrence Greenwood
last evening at the Chamber of
Commerce hall. 1t was the opening
session of the Community Bible
class which is to meet Thursday eve
nings through the winter.
MIR. Greenwood spent part Of the
hour on the Sunday school lesson
and then branched off into an expo
sition of the parable of THE Alb
sent Nobleman.'
Jesus Christ" said the speaker,
did not give to men any problems
to solve. but rather He gave them
commission to execute. Many of
the church's problems are due to
its failure to follow Gods plan.
THE world is divided into two
camps, those who serve God and
those who refuse to do so.
THE world is not to be saved be-
fore Christs return, as the parable
shows His enemies were met by
Him. I have seen and heard men
pirate of bringing in the kingdom
that have never won a single soul
to Christ. He has promised to save
men by His grace, but from that
time on, men decide for themselves
what place they will hold in the
coming kingdom"
Announcement will be made later
as to next weeks meeting as Thurs
day is Thanksgiving.

Nuns Life Work
Caring for Sick

Tientsin, Oct. 15-(A. 2. by MaiD-
Miles beyond the ramparts of snowy
peaks separating the two Buddhist
states of Sikkim and Tibet, among
tho crags of the mountains that rise
from the arid plains north of Cyan
tet, little white specks nestle in the
cliffs. These are the abode of the
nuns of the Goddess Dolma, "She
who hears the cries of all the world"
The Goddess Dolma is the Bud
dhist counterpart Of the Virgin Mary
of the Christians. Her nuns forsake
the world and all it's pleasures and.
dressed in red cloaks, barefooted and
with shaved heads, they go about re-
lieving pain and sorrow. Their fare
is frugal and their lives bare Of ma
terial comforts.
A bell tolls. 1t Is the call of some
distressed person for assistance, per-
haps miles away. The nuns gather.
An old abbess, kindly and skillful in
administration from long experience
in mintstering to mankind, directs
the nuns to their duties. With little
food and stats to aid them in climb
ing UP and down the mountains the
nuns go forth to where duty calls.
Their duties performed they return,
