Believe" a message on the nature, quality

Pilgrim Baptist Church: On Worldwide
Communion Sunday, the Rev. Massey spoke
from the topic, THE Cursed and the
Blessed" The verses used were jeremiah
II 1913, Cursed be the man who depends
on man but blessed is he who depends
on God. The man who puts all de-
pendence upon man is as the desert scrub.
He who puts material things foremost will
live a life which misses much. Yes,
the most important things. But the man
who depends on God is like the tree plant
him; his leaves are always green he need
have no anxiety for he will continue to
yield fruit.
We were left with the admonitions that
most value must be placed on lasting things
the spiritual things. There is so much
that money cannot buy. A life spent
struggling for the material things only is a
wasted life. Cursed be the man who de-
ponds on man, but blessed is he who de-
ponds on God"
The title for the children's story was
THE Right Kind of King"

Moore said, that because science has put
the world on such highly scientific plane
people are becoming restless, skeptical and

lead away from God, and to destruction
If God is forgotten as the giver of all
knowledge. Prayer lifts on above all diff
ficulties and brings us back to God /;
a. er is mans cutlery to God, mans
ecognization that God is above all. 1t is
practicing the presence of God prayer is
a resolution and a remuneration. While
we put our dependence in science, let us
not forget to pray. A praying man is a
Christian. Continuing the series, Rev.
