We are the same little working band
and continue TO have Sunday school,
prayer meeting and church. We can
sec that we are truly deriving beneht
from It too
1t is something that we are proud
of. to know that we can come together
in worship, mix and mingle with one
another in Il spiritual way.
We are proud of this privilege, to
know that we are born equal and are
stin equal in the sight of Christ.
No credit will be given to anyone ex-
cept he who is worthy Of the honor III
Christ.
Our record will be open in Heaven
when we step before the judgement
seat of God. Then will the record
bear our names clear? win it be plain
ly written, or viii it be in a condition
that we will be ashamed to own? Let
MS write il clearly so when we face
the Judge we can say THAT truly Is
my signature
Then we can rejoice because we
wrote it with faith and prayer. SO
let your light shine in the dark cor
ners of this world As the blessed
book of life says Let your light so
shine before men that they may see
your good works and glorify your faith
er which is in Heaven" BE not asham-
ed because we are Christ's for He will
reward the ones who endure to the end.
Fight not for a while then fall back
in sin. But ever strive to reign eter-
nally with God.

but do it with a willing heart Care
not to put forth efforts for Jesus, for
He is sure rewarder for them that
diligently seek Him. Then if we are
sure we will receive a hundred fold
for our work. why not do what is In
our power? For instance say we are
working to accomplish something here
on earth. If we are sure we will re-
ceive a great reward at the end of
the race how hard we would strive.
We would work at that day and night
to receive the prize. SO with the
Christian people Of today. They have
that eternal hope springing In their
souls for that great reward that is
beyond this world.
If we will earnestly contend for the
faith that was once ministered to the
saints we shall win.
We know that these things are in
visible to the physical eye of man but
we are living by hope. Hope is a
thing unseen; il we see a thing we no
longer need to hope for it. So says
the Word of Life. Then, if we are
living by hope for the Great Beyond
we must be born again. Become a
new creature in Christ Jesus. Place
everything at the Savior's feet and
flee from our wicked way to the land
Of love.
We must have charity. Charity is
the greatest of all gifts that come from
God. If we have not love we do not
belong to the family Of God. To love
our neighbOr as ourselves was the
second great commandment that Christ
left us to abide by.
The first was still greater than that.
What was it? Let us live in peace
and love. doing Gods great command.
for we are all needed to make up the
body of Christ.
The earnest desire of our hearts is
that we may all he in one thought and
one mind as God and His only begOt-
ten son was.
We heartily welcome you at all
times to visit MS and help us in our
efforts to make this more Christ-like
place for man to live. Our works are
to point you to the Lamb of God which
bore ii all.
Praying that each Christian will
help us to lift higher the standard of
| the crucified savior.
