All of US are acquainted with the
basic rules Of health; and from
these rules we know that a
healthy body requires two things
to keep II In good health-plenty
of good food and rest Intake, }
and plenty Of exercise output
These two parts must always be
present in the proper balance to be
healthy. We know what happens
for instance, II one does not eat
or rest properly. The result Is ex-
haustion or a breakdown. We also
know, however, what happens II
one takes no exercise at all. One
grows fat and flabby, and the
muscles lose their tone"
Now the spiritual life of a
Christian follows the same rules,
There must be the same two
things - intake and output. The
spiritual life must be nourished
with food for the soul; and the
life that Is within US must also be
exercised. The one involves Bible
reading and Bible study, wherein
we take in the Word OF God,
which is the Bread of Life. This
should be one every day. II is
also the reason we must be regular
in church attendance. The second
involves living a sanctified Chris
sian hfe-the daily walk.
The Bible pictures a properly
balanced Christion life in the por-
trait given us Of Mary; and one
that is not properly balanced (too
much work and exercise) in the
picture of Martha. Sunday, Octo-
Der 9, our sermon will treat OF
this text THE Good Part" from
Luke 10:3S-42. We invite you 10
be present with US at $3.50. Sun
day School will meet at the same
time. See our ad for further de-
tails.
We call to your attention also
the notice that Sunday, Oct. 8, we
shall have our first evening ser
vice and Bible study at st. Phil
ip's. The time is 8 p. m. We cor
daily invite you all.
