subject, Watch That Thief"
This was a wonderful message
and contained much truth. Our
pastor stressed that a thief will
steal anything from anybody, also
he will steal from God not only
your worldly character and your
good name. The spiritual thief, the
devil, Will steal your soul. Every
one must watch that thief. The
service was well attended.
God added two to the church.
They were Mr.. and Mrs. Ernest
HemphilI, formerly of Pilgrim
