A very pleasant meeting was held
by Church Class No. II at the school
auditorium on Wednesday evening
of last week. After the business
meeting was over, the class engaged
in playing games, and a very nice
time was had by all those present.
This class is now engaged in
charitable work and it will be the
pleasure of the members of this
class if they are able to make
happy Christmas for some little tots
by providing suitable raiment for
them to wear.

II was very gratifying to all pre-
sent Sunday morning to notice that
the bulletin board showed 40 teach |
ers and scholars present. This GER
tainly looked good, and shows con-
clusively that the church school has
the scholars, if a way could be found |
to get them out. Parents of chill |
1ren who should be in the church |
school every Sunday morning are |
carrying heavy responsibility when |
they allow their children to roam |
The streets at will. 1t would seem |
that some parents have no regard |
for the future of their boys and girls |
when they allow them to engage in |
practices which is forbidden by the |
laws of both God and man.
The writer is liberal in his views
and would not for ane instant take
rom the young people, one iota of
pleasure they should have,
)ut the Sabbath day should be kept |
N a fitting manner and according
o the laws laid down by God, that
people should honor the day and
Keep it holy. Some people will tell
you that this is a fast age. Very
rue and we acknowledge it, but we
must judge the advance of the world
rom all sides. If for instance we
AXE the business methods in vogue
oday, they are along some lines,
ar superior to what they were fifty
ears ago, but at the same time,
here don't seem to be enough days
n the week to carry on the busi-
mss of the world and so have to
levote the Sabbath day to enable
hem to keep up with the times.
Does it pay? For what is a man
Drofit, If he should gain the whole
World and lose his own SOUL. Mat
hew 16 Chap. 26th verse. These
re truths CLEANED from the Bible.
We say times have chaG ged. Men
ave changed, everything human has
hanged. But God has not changed,
nd for that reason men should be
areful where they tread. 1t is in
ccordance with the many changes
n the world today that the church
S have wandered away from the
rue teachings of Jesus Christ, and
ne sermon of the ministers occupy
lg their pulpits have no comforting
lessage for those who hear. Think
f a Methodist Church which has no
lass meetings, no prayer meetings
r revival services, what can you
xpect from a church of this class,
My what you are now receiving in
