The church school was only fairly
we'll attended on Sunday morning,
when only 20 teachers and scholars
we're present. Some of the absentees |
IAN be accounted for by the pres
,nce of measles among the children |
If the town. ,,t'
Glasses Nos. /, 2 and 0 were COM
Dined and under the guidance of e.
?. Whitney, superintendent, had
,ery interesting session. The lesson
or the morning, entitled Jesus
was discussed by mem
,ers of the class at length and some
lseful information was brought out
which will be of use to all present
n future discussions of the Bible
ruths in reference to the crucitix-
en- of Jesus On the Cross of Cal
AIRY.
The lessons of the quarter so far
lave been teeming with the work
# the Master. His sayings and do
ngs hold q prominent place in all
he lessons and brings us to the be-
inning of today's lesson, when He
gas crucified. The three years of
'esus' life in the ministry was a
usy one. His time was short and
lways looming up ahead of Him
yas the tragedy Of the Cross.
The Master knew what would
appen and as He neared Jerusalem
n His last visit, the tFiumpial en-
ry, and from that time commenced
siege of agony which the Saviour
f men should pass through Geth- Z
emene, with its bitter tears of sor-
Ow, betrayal by Judas, the several Z
rails before the Sonhedin and also
efore Pilot, made the last moments
His life one Of the deepest sor-
ow.
Think of it, we men of the world, I
ehold the Son of the living God
upon rugged cross, nails
iercing His hands and feet and to
isgrace Him more, this innocent
ian was raised and crucified be-
yeen two malefactors who had
roken the law. The scenes of the
ross should bring to the minds and
carts of men and women that deep
brow which leads to repentance
nd a determination on their part to
2 a follower of the meek and lowly
esus, Who died on the Cross of
alvary for the sins of the world.
The morning sermon by the pas 4
n was based on the gospel of Luke
eth chapter and part of the 18th 4
erse "Fear not therefore: We are
more value than many sparrOws." Z
he language of the text was ad-
ressed by the Master to His Gis-
pies and He was telling them of
lat which they were to fear. He
as strengthening them for the
reat conflict which they would
Ave to endure when He had left
em, and gone to His Father. 1t
as a sermon of a very interesting.
ltuIe and was convincing from the
art.
The Children's Day services held
the evening were of a very inter-
ting nature. The children render
their parts in a very creditable
amer. The playing of Billy Hud-
IN of Georgetown on his saxa-
lone was fine.
