ST. PAUL'S CHURCH OF
GOD IN CHRIST

Rev. J. c. Virgins. pastor,
brings holy greetings In Jesus
name as we say as the psalmist
David on one occasion, Let US
go into the house Of the Lord,
for In Gods house we 60 to be
edited as we glorify Him In the
beauty of holiness"
Our services were enjoyed as
we sang and testified. Devotions
were lead by Deacon ]. Tyner and
r. Longmire. Two beautiful num-
bers, a duet by the Rucker sisters
Of Kansas City, Mo. and a solo by
sister e. Jean Moore were render
ed proceeding the sermon.
The text for the morning mes
sage was found in st. Mark S:22-
"a, subject, Following Christ
With The Cross" This subject
bears conditions. First, being
willing 10 follow Christ, willing TO
give UP all and suffer whatever
the consequences may be; willing
TO serve God by loving God
through our brother. II we are
willing, God will make a way.
Self denial Is a must to follow
Jesus. He said, IF any man
should come after me, let him
first deny himself, pick up his
cross and follow me" The story
of Lazarus being raised from the
dead is a good example, for his
sisters. Mary and Martha, con-
tended for Jesus to demonstrate
the power that He alone possessed.
Sometime IL means bearing bur
dens so that self can become sub
ject TO the higher power.
Let us remember the occasion
when Jesus prayed all night in the
garden that He Himself might
become subject TO the will OF God,
so let US be a follower OF the cross.
