Methodist Church Notes


NIetbodist church. Our office hours
are from 9:45 to high noon ana from
Z 80 to s 30 p. m.
our aim is to get more men, Woll'i'
hoys and girls to get the habit Oh "'
tending church and Sunday scnoo'
and blot ont the record of staying
away from the place of worship anu
spending the day in things less pron'-
able than the worship Of God. -,
You need the church. You can !
get along without it, because It slailuS
for n clean. manly life. 1t guards the
home life against the things that woulu
disrupt and break down our MONIES
II offers 70 each individual great
Ideal and Savior in Jesus. Then why
not give 1t your presence and support
holm to make Il the strongest ana most
helpful institution in your community
We are told over and over that tne
man who serves is the one fellow VINO
is blessing this world, and the one VINO
has only the desire to receive ana hot
rive I'm return is of little worth TO his
generation and is very close KIN 10
the parasite and when he goes the
world will rejoice to be relieved OF
the dead weight.
Really to he great is to be great
servant. by helping others in a large
way and the fellow who strives TO 90
this one thing will be long remembered
oftar no has been called from labor
to refreshments, and after he has eN-
changed the gavel for a crown, 'Ihe
righteous shall he held i'm everlasting
remembrance"
II is frequently remarked that the
modern need is to convert the pocket
book and this is true but the greater
need is to so interpret christianity so
than mans creed will include the
head. heart, hands. money and feet.
For we can't make the command GO
TO say stay at home on Sunday or 10
refuse TO work in the common cause
Of humanity. For the truth Is our
Lord has no hands but our hands with
which to do His work. He needs the
human soul all aglOw with love TO
nurture a dying world to life, and he
must have ours. He has no feet to go
on missions of mercy TO the sick bed
TO those in trouble and He wants our
feet shod with the gospel of service to
go and carry the story Of how Jesus
died for the world, how He wants all
men to come to Him and be saved.
In conclusion this suggestion, be
booster. Boost your church, Sunday
school, and Sunday school teacher.
You can't saw wood with hammer.
Exchange the hammer for a horn. IL
YOU think your church is worth while
tell 'em so. If you want II to be
second to none help It grow, when
there's anything 20 do let them count
on you and you'll feel good when its
through. Now you throw bouquets in
stead of rocks and things will look
better to you. And If the other fellow
is inclined to roast meet him with a
boost.
And when stranger comes to our
town meet and greet him with a good
warm hand shake, and if he is in town
over Sunday. invite him to go with you
to church and Sunday school. Make
him feel at home and you will render
him real service and he will remember
you as his friend. So be booster.
That's the stuff. Don't merely belong
to the church. and Sunday school and
if you are on the wagon pick up your
feet. Don't let them drag. That re-
tards progress and besides il will be
hard on your shoes. and when you
come to the hill get off and push.
Come on, we need you.
G. r. Gray, Pastor.
