cdlth mat can keep a man down Dul
himself, and when a person puts OBJ
stacles in his way, they are only put
ting obstacles in their own way for we
rise only SO high as our fellowman,
whatever a man deserves, God will give
1t to hlm, no more, no less, for God
will not give a man something he
cannot use, anf finally no man ought
to be satisfied when he is doing good
when he knows he can do better. These
cerpts were taken from our minister's
message Buried Treasure" at the ii
O'Clock services Sunday morning, May
10Th.
Visitors: Mr.. and Mrs. P. A. Banks
