Reverend E. B. Chilldress

Our minister delivered a spirit
ual filled message to a capicity
congregation Sunday morning at
the IL o'clock services. He chose
as his subject for his very insp-
iring sermon "Deliveraree''. A
few of his thoughts of the day
taken from his sermon are as
follows: When a man walks with
God he can do things; no man can
standstill and serve God; the chu-
rch can't standstill and keep pace
with the work of our Lord and
Savior Jesus Christ; no man can
serve God while bound to the sor-
did things of life; and finally we
must first learn to walk with our
fellowman if we expect to walk
with Jesus Christ.
After the regular services. we
who stayed to witness the we'd
ding of one of our own in the per-
sonage of Miss Edna Blair to MIR.
Bedford N. Moses of Los Angeles
delighted with it.
