The Epworth League which met at
Slaughter Beach on Saturday after
noon of last week was a very pleas
ant affair. While not as largely at
tended as expected, yet those who
were present say that they had a
real good time.
When the lunch baskets were op-
ened there was displayed vast as
sortment of good things to eat
which were free for all. The league
served coffee. Those who remained
away missed a treat.

Sunday morning witnessed a large
attendance on the part of both tea
chers and scholars. 100 being pres
ent. This was remarkable when it
is taken into consideration the hot
weather that has been prevailing.
The lesson for the !, day entitled
"Peter and John Before the Son
hedvin." We don't know how long
after the Penticost before the events
of the lesson of July 12, took place.
Those followers of Christ who stood
up for and preached the new doc
trine promulgated by the Master had
no easy time. They were surround
ed by enemies, hostile in every way
to the teaching of Jesus.
Peter and John had been convert
ed. The Holy Ghost when it came
upon them made of them men both
bold and fearless, and no difference
if Annias, the high priest, was there,
Peter was bold and when they in
quired by what power or in what |
name have you done this? Then Pc
ter filled with the Holy Spirit said
unto them, Ye rulers of the people
and elders.
Peter explained from whence the
power. came and as both Peter and
John grew bolder they silenced their
hearers and they could say nothing
against what they had done.
The same gearlessness and bold
ness which Peter and John manifes-
ted in the days of the early church
will be the means of winning the
world for Christ today.
They did not stop. to consider what
was before them. They did not think
about it. They had a duty to per-
form and they did it and no differ
ence how many Sanhidvins stood
between the .mand what they con-
sidered right, they would go forward
and preach. to the people as they
had been taught that only through
Jesus Christ could man be saved.
The same boldness and the same
which dominated the]
life of Peter and John, could if i'm
tated by the preachers of today,
make a greater inroad on sin that is
being done at the present time.
The golden text. eve must obey
God rather than man."
The pastor delivered a fine dis
course at the morning service based
N Ephesians 3-19 "To know the
owe of Christ, which passeth know
edge that ye might be filled with {
Ill the fullness of God" 1t was
rand.
At p. m. the Epworth League {
lad charge. Miss Bessie Warren, {
eader. Miss Warren had very fine ]
,rogram and rendered it in a very 6
Intelligent way.
The evening sermon by the pas n
or was based on Johns gospel 14-6. /
esus said unto him, am the way, t
be truth and the life; no man COM
th unto the Father, but by Me. 6
This sermon was superior to the
discourse and to do this, S
must have been something beyond
he ordinary. Come and hear him. d
