PILGRIM BAPTIST CHURCH
Last Sunday, July 10. Rev Massey's
sermon topic was entitled, They Could
Only Watch. - text. They were also
women looking on from afar. MARK
Is :l0) The message dealt with the scene
in which three Women stood watching
Jesus dying on the cross. They could
do no more than watch, but that was
the best they could do and because of
that God made them the true reflec-
ton of hts light. They were chosen to
be the first to carry the good news
that Christ was alive. The pastor said.
To-day we may be as feeble and hope
less in many ways as those women,
but so long as our hearts or motives
are clean, God smiles upon US Just the
same. To be good is important: to do
good without being good is Of little
profit"
