PILGRIM BAPTIST CHURCH

PILGRIM BAPTIST CHURCH
Last Sunday, June 25th, was
Church Anniversary Month, 1853
1850. Instead of Scripture Read
ing, The ten Rules for Worship
were read by Rev. Massey.
The children's story subject
was, What Kindness Did For
An Aged Couple" This aged
couple brought in strangers who
came to their door, fed them
from their scant supply of food
which seemed to multiply during
the meal, and they found they
had more than enough for them
selves and the strangers.
Rev. Massey's text was taken
from Malachi, LIST Chapter, 18th
verse: Behold What a WEAKNESS
is it," Subject, Bored to Death. !"
He stressed the fact that bore
dom is definitely a liability, as
most people are cheated of the
joys of living by seeking amuse-
ment which often leads to dissi-
patton also self-centeredness
robs them Of their usefulness. He
pointed out the way to escape
this boredom is to keep interested

BORDER CHURCH NEWS
Sunday at the morning Wor-
ship, Rev. Sexton spoke on the
subject, IAN Appeal to the Unde-
cided." The text of the discourse
was taken from LIST Kings, 1871
81, which tells of the challenge
of Elijah to Ahab for, forsaking
the Lord and turning to serve
Baalim. He takes the people to
task for their indecision be-
tween two opinions, of serving
either God or Baal. Rev. Sexton
said that the people today face
the same provocative indecision,
that they too, are undecided
to serve God or not.
These indecisions are due to
many causes and for various rea-
sons make their decision to serve
God. He said that youth in giving
themselves to the service of God
at an early age, are better
thought Of. What a fine thing it
Is to hear some of the older folks
say, have served God all of my
life. He said that the church
directs the spiritual life of man,
and that man is spiritual. Next
Rev. Sexton will speak
on THE Parable of the Vine
yard" Scripture reading. Matt.
21:33-46.
