Thought for the Week
“Let not the good be the en-
emy of the bent.”
There will be no services, ex-
cept Sunday School, at the Pres-
byteriarf church next Sunday, as
the pastor will be absent, in a
meeting at Sheffield.
Dedication of Christian Church
Quite an impressive service
was held at three o’clock last
Sunday afternoon when the new
house of worship of the Chris-
tian church was formally dedi-
cated to the service of God. The
dedicatory service proper was
conducted by Elder H. M. Bandy
of Alpine, who was the first min-
ister of the Christfon Church
ever to preach in Fort Stockton
—preaching here twenty-one
years ago. The dedicatory pray-
er was offered by Elder S. R. Mc-
Clure, district evangelist now in
charge of the Fort Stockton
work. The other ministers of
the tow’n had part in the ser-
vices.
Methodist Church
At the morning hour there
will be a special illustrated ser-
mon to chuldren. Something
good in store for everyone. Be
sure to come and bring the fam-
ily.

Christian Church
A special series of meetings
are now in progress. A splendid
spirit prevails. We are asking
God to bless the preaching of His
word and we are assured results
will follow. One of the finest
sets of artistic charts to be
found anywhere is being used to
bring vividly to the mind the
teachings of Christ. You cannot
afford to miss this instruction
that will bring you closer to the
great Teacher of all ages. Your
faith will have a firmer rooting
and grounding if you attend
each service. The sermons fol-
low logically to a clear, definite
unfolding of God’s word.
Here are some of the subjects
to be handled: “The Impossibili-
ty of a Human Cure for Sin.”
‘The Sinner Cannot Hide His
Sin.” “Three Wrong Attitudes
Toward Truth.” “The Age of
Conversion.” “But Two to
Choose From.” “The Wail of a
Ixxst Soul.” “An Unquestioned
Pardon.” "The Soul find Can’t
Save.” “A Change of Heart.”
“Meeting Yourself at Judg-
ment.” “A Sinless State.” “The
Man That Can’t Sin.” “The Su-
preme Struggle.” “Prayer.”
And many others just as vital.
Come and bring your friend.
Lead some one to Christ.
S. R. McClure.
Baptist Church
The sermon at the Baptist
church next Sunday morning will
be on the second coming of
Christ, and in the evening the
Judgment seat of Christ. The
Christian worker’s chapter, Lu.
10, will be used at the Wednes-
day evening prayer service.
Religious Value of the Church
To admit that the church is of
value economically, educational

“It was two years ago that

ed. Their institutions of learn-
ing became hotbeds of higher
criticism. The state became
holier and higher than the
church. “Kultur” was more to
he desired than character or god-
liness. In industrial and intel-
lectual prowess they exulted and
trusted and God became to their
mind, practically, a tribal deity
with the bright side of his coun-
tenance turned ever to the Prus-
sian tribe, the side of “might.”
—The result—moral shipwreck
and an endeavor to lead the
world hack to savagery.
Others would have us believe
that in social rectitude lies the
solution of all evils and that this
can be brought about best by
the extension of the principles
socialism and Christianity re-
cognize evils in the existing so-
cial order but differ fundamen-
tally as to the method for the
correction of those evils. So-
cialism says simply that the sys-
tem is wrong and that if w# can
turn the system upside down
man will be suitably changed.
The church, on the other hand,
believes that the evil and error
is primarily in man himself and
that if man’s nature can be
changed, if he be regenerated,
the desired change in the sys-
tem and order will naturally and
inevitably follow. This is God’s
way.
“And the chief value of the
church to the community lies in
the fact that she is doing her
work in God’s way; that she is
treating not merely outward
symptoms, hut the seat of the
disease. Her main function is
the meeting of spiritual need—
the deepest and most universal
of all needs—the need of the
knowledge of God and the way of
deliverance from sin; the need
of pardon and peace as to the
past; and the need of power and
progress for the future." Not
at all times are we cognizant of
this but when times of stress
and trials and testing come;
when we recall that men and wo-
men have sins to be forgiven,
passions to conquer, temptations
to resist, sorrows to meet and
death to face, then are we re-
minded that the church is incom-
parably the most important
agency in the world, not only as
an economic, educational, social
factor hut as a religious factor-
as the primary exponent of the
saving gospel of Christ, the hope
of the world.

easier and with less expense. He therefore
makes more profit

EVER THINK OF THIS?
There are fancier towns than
our little town, there are towns
that are bigger than this; and
the people w'ho live in the small-
er towns don’t know' what excite-
ment they miss. There are things
you see in the wealthier towns
that you can’t in a town that’s
small; and yet, up and down,
there is no other town like our
own little town after all. It may
•be the streets through the town
are not long, they’re not w’ide
and maybe not straight, but the
neighbors you know in your own
little town all welcome a fellow—
it's great. In the glittering
town, with its palace and pave-
ment and thrall, in the midst of
the throng you will frequently
long for your own little town, af-
ter all. If you live and work in our
little town, in spite of the fact
that it's small, you'll find it a
fact that our little town is the
best little town'after all.—Boga-
ta News.
