Grace Presbyterian Church. Rev.
E. NJ. Lewis, Pastor - On Sunday
morning the pastor. by means Of an
appropriate story, taught the children
the value. of unity. "The Quest For
God" was the theme of the morning
sermon, as the speaker showed that
many fail to find God because they
have false conception of him, and
therefore seek him wrongly. He also
reminded his audience of certain OBJ
stacles frequently placed in TING way,
and others that crowd God, out of
the mind.
Next Sunday is HOME COMING
SUNDAY. Every member is urged
to lay aside all excuses, overcome all
obstacles, and be present at church
on Sunday morning. Let every mem
Der, too, bring friend as his guest
on that occasion. The pastor will
preach a sermon particularly adapted
to this Sundays need, entitled, "My
God and Me- The choir will furnish
special music. The stranger and the
pilgrim also will find warm well
come at Grace Presbyterian Church.

raised the flag of his country.
President Machado of Cuba stood
by each flag as it was hoisted.
