Weekly Devotional] Column By James Mackenzie m mmmm m mmmmamf I often wonder if other ministers become as weary as I do of the time worn charge that there are hypocrites among church members; and espec ially as this is used as an excuse to stay at home on Sunday morning and read Little Orphan Annie. There are hypocrites among auto mobile dealers (as anyone who has ever heard one of them describe an old, beat-up jalopy to a potential cus tomer will readily testify), but I’ve never heard of anyone ■•to own or ride in a car for this Reason. There are hypocrites in the motion picture industry—plenty of them—yet you still waste good money to watch some faded, middle-aged glamour girl try to act like a kid of sixteen. There are hypocrites in the church —of course there are! The world is sat urated with hypocrites; it is only nat ural that some seep into the church. But you are the biggest hypocrite of ' them all if you claim to stay away from God’s House on Sunday morning because there are hypocrites in it, because that is not your real -reason for boycotting the church, and if you weren’t such a hypocrite you’d readily admit it. You find a hypocrite in the church, and some of you outside of the church delight in measuring yourselves by him. Why pick on the hypocrite? If you must measure yourself by some church member, select one who is not only a church member but *a Chris tian; whose life has been made radi ant by the saving grace of Jesus Christ. Shoose one who has learned to meet trials and tribulations, trou bles and frustration, with- unfaltering faith and firm resolve, trusting in the assurance and security to be found in an all-wise God. You’ll find you don’t “stack-up” so good after all. There are hypocrites in the church. Attend services next Sunday anyway. There is always room for one more. PRESBYTERIAN SERVICES Services at the Presbyterian Church are announced as follows by the pas tor, the. Rev. James MacKenzie: Sunday School Sunday morning at 10 o’clock with classes for all ages.

Having decided on your master pieces turn next to the wrappings, practicing with trial paper until the effects satisfy you. Finally tuck these directions away in your mind to be trotted out as you need them: (1) Shop soon for your packing and wrapping materials while stocks are still complete. (2) Use coffee cans and large cracker tins for storing candy and cookies waiting to be packed. Tin boxes are also best for mailing.
