Taking his inspirational ser
mon Sunday May 3Oth, at II
a. m. from Acts 3rd chapter =
verse our minister delivered a
straightforward shoulder ser
mon subject A Cripple Man.
His thoughts for meditation
were as follows: | a man or a
woman associates with people
with noble ideals, he or she
will take on some b those mob
lie ideals and nobility, if a man
or women associates with low
~ ideals that man or woman
falls victim of lowly and lewd
ideals, when the hand of God
is layed on an individual then
that individual Graves the fell
and before a man passes judge
lowship of the children of God,
ment on his fellowman, that
man first ought to search his
own heart and before he tries
to sweep the trash from his
fellowman's door, that man
ought to first sweep the trash
from his own door.
The Junior Choir under the
direction of Mrs. Childress can
be justly proud of themselves
for they did splendid service
in the presentation of the CHI
ristian songs for the next NOR
ming services. We Q St. Johns
are pleased with the work you
young people are doing.
