elect.

ders; Thomas Loflin, superintend-

Peoples organization.
GAS a. m.-Sunday school.
We will be studying Sunday
morning the disastrous effects of
unbelief, as well as the necessity
of faith. Faith makes real to the
soul that which we hope for, and
is demonstration of that which
we do not see. Faith lays hold on
that which is future but sure and
brings it into the life of the be-
lever, so that in the presence
and power of it, he lives and
walks. The great danger for these
Hebrews was that they had pro-
fcssed faith in Christ, yet linger-
ed around the Levitical institu-
tons rs the temple with its wor-
ship which was still standing.
IL a. m.-Preaching by pastor;
subject, "Thc Making Of a Life. !"
The first question in life is not
how to make a living, but how TO
make a life. The highest and best
contribution which you can make
to your generation is the gift of
a well-rounded and worthy life.
Savonorola turned the tides of
Florence. Aristides lifted the city
of Athens upwards and higher.
Ten righteous men would have
turned the battle back from the
gate in ancient Sodom.
z p. m.---The meeting of the
Young People. Young people
should know that we can over
come the world and any of us,
regardless of circumstance, can
get in on this. Christ did not
dodge or deny the fact of trou-
Bile: He declared plainly that in
this world we might expect it, but
He follows it with, "Be of good
cheer" lie overcame the world,
and whatsoever is born of God and
belicveth that Jesus is the Son of
God overcomcS the world and this
is the victory that overcomes the
world, even our faith. We need
to receive Him and let Him live
His overcoming life in us.
1880 p. m.--Prayer service.
"What profit should we have If
we pray unto Him." Dob 2l :l5)
This question was asked in Gym
zeal spirit, but let us ask it hum
bly, with a dope desire to follow
Gods will in our lives. The sight
of the horses and chariots as they
compassed the city, so fill the
heart of Elisha's servant with fear
that he cried out: "Alas my mas
ter! How shall we do" What was
Elisha's answer to such cry? He
prayed that God would open the
servants eyes, that he might see,
and the Lord opens the eyes of
the servant, and he saw that the
mountain was full of horses and
chariots of fire round about Eli
sha.
8p. m.-Preaching by the pas
tor; subject, "rhe Decree of Da-
RUS the Mede." The decree estab-
lished was, that for thirty days
no one in the realm of the empire
is to ask a petition of any God
or man, save Darius. In other
words, Darius is to take the place
of God. Daniel, the aged man of
prayer, in sweet communion with
God, continues thrice daily to
pray and to give thanks for this.
Daniel is cast into the lions den,
as our blessed Lord was given to
the lion, and a stone is laid upon
the mouth of the den, and IT Is
sealed with the kings signet. He
is, so to speak, in a grave, as
good as dead in the eyes OF the
world: for who has ever heard OF
hungry lions not devouring a man.
And all this brings before US that
other place, the tomb in the gar
den, where He was laid and the
stone before it, which bore the
seal of the Roman world pow
err. But as Daniel could not be
hurt by the lions, so He who went
into the jaws of death could not
be holden by death. The tomb is
empty, and He is victor over
death and the grave.
