The meetings last Sunday we're

pastor preached at the morning
service. theme, "The Righteousness
That Excellse Matthew 500. One
man came forward and confessed
Christ requesting baptism. At 1880
D. m. the auditorium was well filled.
The choir took their place, kindly as
sisted by DR.. Evans and lead the
congregation in the singing of some
familiar gospel hymns. The scrip
ture lesson was read by the pastor
and prayer was lead by the Rev. G.
E. Mason, pastor of the Congrega-
tional Church who had very kindly
dismissed his evening service to be
with us. Rev. W. A. Shanks of
Boise. state superintendent of Mis-
sions for the Idaho Baptist State
Convention preached very able SER
mon from John 1915, theme
Hearing the voice of Cod" Com
pairing the gospel to the radio say
ing that the voices of the people and
other sounds had always been borne
upon the air but were not heard
until proper device was arranged for
hearing. Likewise God has always
spoken to the world but was heard
only by those who were properly
equipped to hear His voice There
were those, however, in all ages who
did hear and respond to his words,
viz: Noah, Abraham, Jacob, Moses,
Joshea and many others. Static is
something that binders the voice or
sound waves. Static is an atmo-
spherical condition. When the at
mosphere is in proper condition we
hear closely. Likewise when the
religious atmosphere is right then
do we hear the voice of God Relay
stations increase the carrying power
of the voice. Churches, ministers,
Missionaries, Sunday schools and
young peoples societies are relay
stations to carry the voice of God. |
Following the sermon Mrs. Peak of
Boise. widow of one of the former
pastors of this church sang a beauti-
full solo after which the ordinance OF
baptism was administered to three
earnest believers. The baptistry was
filled with clear water which was
warmed by running it through coil
in the furnace so the chill was taken
off making it quite comfortable. The
service was very impressive and
seemed to make a deep impression
upon all present. On Monday even

tor of the Baptist Church at Cald-
well came to us and gave us three
