Scripture were asked for and the
response proved that many had hid-

Mrs. John Burks sang “Will I bring
any sheaves?”
Mrs. Wagner’s helpfu and inspir-
ing talk was based on the serip-
ture “For we are laborers togetl er
with God.” Laborers for and with
God. God could have saved the
world in some miraculous way, but
he chose to give man a part in the
work. If wo world alone, failure
is the result, but work with and fe
God succeeds. God’s laws are per-
fect in the material world they are
also prefect in the spiritual world.
Spiritual labor is the unfailing out-
come of a spiritual life. We must
do more than save ourselves. Our
hearts may rest but our hands mnst
work. We dare not give Christ
less than the best of our lives. Our
time and talents, our hearts devo-
tion."
Mr. and Mrs. Wagner sang a
beautiful duet and the service closed
with the hymn “Have thine own way
Lord.”

This business of waiting on Luck is full of disappointment. You
deal with a capricious master and as you wait you lose time. Too
bad, because well-rounded Savings Accounts are nothing more
than time put to constructive use. Do not be a waiter on Luck,
be the “boss” of the situation. Keep your Savings Account
abreast of time and watch it grow into a dependable, creditable
estate. It means happiness, independence, success.

The message of the evening was
“Discipleship Unto Jesus Christ.”
Jesus’ words were not to put on an
armor and go forth to conquer, but
deny self. Any man may be a
Christian, though some are bigger,
better Christians than there. If a
man becomes a Christian, he does ro
because he wants to and decides to.

passed. Jesus wants a calm, clear.

The Scripture reading for the
Tuesday night service was the sixth
chapter of the Ephesian letter.' The
special music was a quartette by
Mesdames Dick Saunders, Bland
Smith, and H. A. Cunningham and
Miss Sallie Jo Carleton, each of
whom is a most accomplished mu-
sician. They sang. “Let Not Your
Heart Be Troubled.” That the words
could be understood so well was re-
markable. The evangelist was 0
well pleased that he assured his
bearers that were the services stop-
ped at that point, even though the
sermon had not been preached, each
one would have been well repaid for
having faced the threatening
a,
-s- -n
president of Trinity University,
Waxahachie, preached a great ser-
mon on, “Man working With. God."
He insisted that we can not always
tell where the human power quits
and the Divine begins, but both work
’ together. He said God made the wild
rose, but man working with God hid
produced the American Beauty. So
is the salvation of a soul, in tne
saving of the world, in carrying on
the work of the Kingdom of God on
earth, God works with man. It is
Co-operation that we need. He said
sometimes Presbyterians are lazy
and depend on God to do it all.
God is always ready but He waits
for us to do our part.
Dr. Burma is to preach this morn-
ing at the American Theater to the
combined congregation of men and
women.
Rev. W. F. Kerby and several of
this congregation are attending the
meeting of Paris Presbytery in
Honey Grove. It is planned for the
whole church here to attend tne
meeting at Honey Grove tonight, if
the weather permits. It is the Wo-
men’s Night, and a good program is
assured.
