There was a good attendance a
r the preaching services at Bethe
n Methodist Church on Sunday morn
g ing. DR.. w. E. Gunby, ministe
e from Easton, Md, filed the pulpit
q His subject was: ''The ultimate sc
: cret of a triumphant life" DI
D Gunby is an eloquent speaker, an,
| everyone enjoyed this impressiv,
sermon. The text that he chos,
!. was the first three words of tn,
= statement made by Jesus on th'
! CrOss-"Into Thy Hands," We re
call this verse from the 23rd chap
ter of st. Luke, and the 46th verse
And when Jesus had cried with q
: loud voice, he said, Father Into
Thy Hands l Commend My Spirit
and having said thus, he gave up
the ghost.
The lesson and encouragement
that we may obtain from this text
of DR.. Gunby is that Christ will
supply His spirit and comfort in
time of need and sorrow and dis
couragements. We should COM
mend ourselves to the Lord. And
Underneath are the Everlasting
Arms" as found in Deuteronomy,
33rd chapter and 9th verse. The
first statement is inspiring: THE
Eternal God is thy refuge" The
soloist was Mrs. Harry Dukes, Jr.,
who sang Sunrise" in a gracious
manner.
