ZION BAPTIST CHURCH

The attendance was good at
Zion on Sunday. Rev. Bolts, our
pastor and wife, were out Of the
city. The assistant pastor, Rev. II.
Henderson, was In charge Of ser
vices for the entire day. The text
OF Rev. HendeTson's sermon at
the morning service was. Come
ye blessed Of my Father, inherit
the kingdom prepared for you
from the foundation Of the world"
Scripture, Matt. 1884.
Many visitors were present.
Music was furnished by the Cos
pei Chorus.
The evening service was very
brief and instructive. Rev. Hen
derson took for his text. For the
kingdom of heaven In as a man
travelling into q far country"
His text was based on the sub
iect OF three talented men. The
first one with five talents: sec
ond. with two talents and the
third one with one talent. The
first two men put their talents to
good use. while the one with the
one talent went and buried his be-
cause he was too proud TO use Il.
The main object Of this parable
was 10 teach people TO use the
talent God gives us to use, or use
what we have. and by 80 doing we
win reap " we faint not. Music
was furnished by the combined
singers.
Many visitors were welcomed
at the a. m. service. You are al
