SELBYYILE
Church NeMs


Due to the very stormy weather OF
Sunday morning the congregation q
the church was quite small but therl
were few who Yentured out FOL
both Sunday school and preaching
services.
The pastor, Rev E. NJ. Shockley
gave his very small audience a very
good sermon from the text, 'Thest
be thy gods," part of the 4th verse
Of the 32nd chapter of Exodus, the
scripture lesson being from the
same chapter-the story Of the chill
dren of Israel becoming discouraged
when Moses remained up on the
mountain so long and carried their
golden ear rings to Aaron and caus-
ed him to make a molten calf and
said, These be thy gods, o Israel
which have brought thee up out OF
the land of Egypt, therefore stirring
up the anger of God and Moses.
There were no services in the eve
ming and the Woman's Home Mis-
sionary Society will probably have
charge of the services next Sunday
night as they were prevented from
SO doing last Sunday night.
