ZION BAPTIST CHURCH

Our minister, Rev. II. w. BOttS,
chose his sermon from the Gospel
according to st. John. 4:35. His
subject: The Need OF a Vision.
Rev. Bolts illustrated an in
stance OF lack of vision by refer
ring TO the Disciples not per-
ceiving what Jesus meant when
he said. Il have meat TO eat that
ye know not Of" st. John 4:32
The Disciples thought someone
had brought real food to Jesus.
when in reality Jesus meant spir-
itual food Rev. Bolts said that
the reason the world Is not being
won for Christ more than II is
today, is because those whom
Christ has to depend upon have
and discuss frivolous. nonsensical
things. instead Of the goodness of
God. We are saved to help save
others. To do this the Christian
must have vision--a conception of
spiritual values.
Music was rendered by the Sen
Tor choir and the Young Peoples
choir. We ask your continuing
prayers for our sick and shut in
