The message on Sunday morn
ing by the pastor. the Rev. NJ. L.
Simmons, was another in a series
Of sermons especially designed to
bring deeper spiritual convictions
TO his hearers, during the Lenten
season. The subject-"The Power
of FORGIVENESS" was taken from
Luke 1884, Father, forgive
them for they know not what they
do" The pastor said in part-The
business Of the church Is to love
and not hate; most people fail in
life because they use the hate
plan for living instead Of fer
giveness. We can't hate our
brother and see Gods face.
After being under such q
handicap for 30 long a time, try
ing to have worship services,
build a church and keep all de-
partments functioning as well as
to our pastor to see such large
possible, II is very encouraging
and appreciative audiences on
Sunday. Prayer Meetings on
Thursday evening help set the
spiritual tone for the Sunday
services. Let's more of us attend
these midweek meetings. No one

let's do that one thing that we
can do Wreatha G. Max

carefully between the visible

all true Christians. who are
gathered In various congrega-
tons and denominations. This
visible church as u appears to the
eye IL divided into various de-
nominations"
The invisible church. how
