The Tragedy OF The Comfort
able" was the subject used by the
pastor, the Rev. NJ. L. Simmons
on Sunday morning. The Biblical
background was Amos 6:1-"Woe
unto them who are at ease in
Zion. and TO those who feel secure
on the mountain of SAmaria, the
notable men of the first Of the
nations to whom the house Of
Israel come" (Revised Standard
Version). II was a great and
challenging message with many
thoughts that could be taken
home and thought over.
The minister said in part, This
Is a challenging age; a great time
to be alive. No age has given US
more comfort, yet we must be on
guard against. False Worship,
2. Inhumanity, and 3. GOdlessneSs.
God and prosperity must go along
together IL II Is to last. Hearts
that are pure and clean on the in
side are necessary. This Is the
time TO make our influence felt
by pulling together. Let US not
rest In our comfort, nor forget
those of the past who made our
comfort possible. Woe TO them
that are at ease in Zion" Four
people joined our fellowship.
