Services Sunday, August 3, 1930,: Sunday school 9:45 a. m., church I service 11:00 a. m., quarterly con-j ference at 2:00 p.i m., and Epworth j League 6:30 p. m. The attendance at prayer meeting j last week was off, we think due to the j shower of rain. Rev. Rhinehardt brought us a deep and instructive message on the right directing of the emotions of fear, love and hate. Church members, you are missing some great talks when you miss prayer meeting. ( Sunday school was very well at tended. The opening exercises was, conducted by Mrs. Shuford. " The men's class dropped down in atten dance this week. The women stay j the same. Mothers you should come i and set the example for youT child- j ren. The mother's class will welcome all who come, especially the moth er* with babies. Babies are to bless our homes and Christ told the moth ers of his day to bring the little ones to Him. The Epworth League continues to have a good attendance and al ways fine programs. Our aim is to have all the young people of the church members of the League and to attend regularly. Sunday evening at 7:30 Mr. Rhine hardt preached, we think the finest sermon he has ever preached. It seems we say this every week but that is the way we feel about it. This is the best thus far. He took the book of Amos and gave us an outline to read the book. When you have something definite to look for your reading becomes more inter esting! Outline: Sin will surely be punished. Mercy will uphold judg ment, but will not set it aside. In tense religious devotion will not off set unrighteousness. The promise of justice. The outline Mr. Rhinehardt preach ed from is shorter and he only had time to touch the high places.

Amos was 'the first ethical prophet and a fear 'ltss one. He was discovered by all the 'officials of the kingdom, and forbid i dei> to prophesy against the King lard his Court., He was threatened but •he prophesied just the same. Amos 'lived out in the open near Jerusa !)em in a very sparsely settled coun I try. He was a shepherd and lived a- ( ilcne. Being out on the hillside tend ing his sheep he lived close to na- Iture and communed with God! In [town where we live in a rush we do not take time to be quiet and devel-; |op our souls. We are thinking only • of self. At certain times of the year I feasts were held and those feasts necessitated Amos making trips to town at which time he sold the wool , from his sheep. At these feasts he had opportunity to meet people from j all over the known country. Living close to God he was able to see land- j grabbers forcing the poor people out j of the community. These people liv- j ed in the cities and had big vine-' yards and lots of sheep. God told | Amos to go into the cities and prop hesy that "sin is going to be pun-' lished", that position and possession I 'will not matter. Now Amos was not' 'very well known and it would be a 'problem to get an audience., God provided a way as He always does if we will but listen. Let God lead; don't try to lead God. He told Amos to begin with the prophecies that Damascus would be punished for their sins, then the Philistines, Sy- I rians, Phoenicians, Amorites, Mea . bites. The Hebrews were ready to If £ ten to the Prophecies against these people for they were enemies. Then Amos said Judalr will be punished, ■yt u have sinned though you are God's chosen people. Mercy will up : hold judgment, but will not set it : aside. God is merciful. He allows us • to go so long and does not punish : us for our sins immediately. He gives 1 Ub many chances. God goes the limit, i ji 9 gives us many opportunities t) ■ repent and change. Mercy upholds ■ judgment but will not set it aside. • Men will rise up and say we sinned • but from now on I'll serve God an 1 • they will live intensely for the Lord ; hoping to offset previous sins. Amos saw the plumb-line; the straight edge of God. Some christians of today ar j i like a basket of summer fruit—does t n't last long here today and gone to- CLIFFSIDE'S HOME PAGE, UNDER THE DIRECTION OF LOCA Published in Connection With The Forest City Courier v morrow. God allowed locusts to en- j ter their fields after the King had i rthered his grain. The land parched, j God stands outside the door to punish sin. Sin in one's life is going to be punished no matter how secret it has been. We cannot hide from God, j He is everywhere. Amos is not a hook of repentance. It is a warning that God is just outside ready to cor rect sin, Israel prepare to meet thy ( God. God is here now is the time for repentance. Sin is going to be pun ished. Prepare to meet thy God. You are *oing to meet Him face ta face. You will meet Him as you are. I i At 11:00 o'clock Sunday morn ing, August 3, the Presiding Elder of the Marion district, Rev. Fox will preach. All church members are urg-! Ed to come out and hear Brother . Fox. We are sure he will have a' fine message for us. | BAPTIST CHURCH NOTES. I Several classes and organizations held social meeting last week* Among the activities of the week was the trip to the mountains by the T. E. L class and a large number of the | [members made the trip accompanied by several men who went to drive ?ome of the cars. 'Among those msking the trip were Mr. and Mrs. j j T. Greene; Mesdames Luther Campbell, J. W. Crawford; Howard j Burgess; Marvin Sparks, Cecil Bridges and children, Mr., James Padgett, Mr. and Mrs. J. B. Earley, Mesdames M. C. Blanton, Fred By i ars, Herbert McDaniel, Dewey M.- Daniel and children, Charles Keeter, Clarence Watkins, John Padgett, ,Cv ran Padgett, Sam Haynes, M. E. Horne, Mr. and Mrs. D. C. Splawn and Mrs. Ed Pruett. ! They visited Rev. and Mrs. J. A. Hunnicutt, our pastor and his wifo at their cottage near Chestnut Hills and enjoyed a picnic dinner return ing that evening well pleased with the day's outing. j Last Saturday eveniing (members of the Rachael Bible class surprised their teacher, Mrs. John Atkinson, with a birthday party at her home. Miss Clara Atkinson a sister who makes her home with Mr. and Mrs. Atkinson knew the plans and had arranged for the refreshments with « ct letting Mrs. Atkinson get wise. After the members of the class as sembled a number of games and contests were enjoyed. Then delight full refreshments were served the guests and at 10:00 'oclock they left for their homes after wishing their t:scher many happy returns of the day. Mrs. Atkinson was the recipient of many nice useful gifts. i Attendance at Sunday school was off some last Sunday, thirty less than a week ago." It seems that the at tendance is like a teeter board up ar>d then down. It is due to be up again next Sunday and let's make it way up.. Christian education day was ;observed last Sunday. The program •was presented by the men's Bible clnss and the young men's Berean i class taking the place of the usual i preaching hour. There were four j principal speakers, Messrs B. E. Gold J. F. Atkinson, Eckles Hamrick and ; Marvin Sparks. Several members of the eight B. jY. P. U's., attended the annual meet jir.g at Alexander and the R. C. S. ; Union gave a play, "Downs and Ups" of an intermediate B. Y. P. U. at 11:35 a. m Several others attended the meeting in the afternoon. We had hoped to have Rev. James jA. Ivey, State B. Y. P. U. secretary ; speak here Sunday evening, but he | phoned from Alexander Sunday morn ing that he regretted that he would | not be able to get here having to j return to Raleigh immediately after jthe B. Y. P. U. meting closed at Alex ander. As a result there was no : preaching service Sunday night. We are expecting our pastor and his family Jjack home this week and |he will preach next Sunday morning and evening. W e are glad to learn that Mrs. Hunnicutt is improving and we shall be glad to welcome them back home where they have 'been missed during their absence. They sorely needed a rest for they have both worked incessantly since coming here five months ago. Next Stfnday, Sunday school at 9:45, preaching service at 11:00 a.
