Troublefield the pastor discussed: Ws have to make up in our minds what the church of our choice will be like. We must have faith. Nothing can be worse for the heart than the withdrawal from the Leavens of the Living God and the banishment from the earth of Christ who redeemed and blessed it nothing is more harmful to the conscience, or to the life than that faith should wholly die and cease to be the spring of its activities, its joys and hopes. We should give our best to the Master, by giving Him first place in our lives. Service is the measure of greatness. We can find abundant life only by service, and when Christ takes possession service be gins to flower out and we find the abundant life by sacrificial service. Rev. Troublefield asked Brother Harvery Adams. Mr. Fred Harmon, Mrs. Annie Freeman, Mrs. Rosa Spring and Brother Ed Brickie what they would desire ihe church of their choice to be like. They all gave excellent thoughts. They likened a spiritual church to church with the spirit of service and a church with laborers-and faculti vate faithfully the vanguard oi our souls. Jesus taught his disciples the principles of service. In John 13-15 He said, “For I have given yen an example that you should do as I have done to you. Christ counted no sacrifice too great, no toil too hard to accomplish what he had come to do. Everyone enjoyed the service.
