LOUISBURG BAPTIST
CHURCH
The pastor so^ske for the first 1
lime in severalVjveeks from his
own pulpit. The 'subject for the
morning worship hour was "A
Religion That Costs Nothing',', j
The text was taken from 2 Sam.
24: 24. "And the king said unto
Araunah, Nay; but I will surely j
buy it of thee at a price: neither
will I offer burnt offerings unto,
the Lord my God of that which |
doth cost me nothing. So David
bought the threshing floor and
the oxen for fifty shekels of sil
ver." He named three classes of j
religionist: those who put in 'o
get out, those who put in for
love's sake, those who do not pflt
in but expect to get out. Of the
first group he said, "They are the
Pharisees, the legalist, Judlsers,
Unitarians. Cain is their father
and disappointment their reward"
of the second group, "They are
the Christians. God is their Fath
er and a rich, crown their reward"
of the third group, "They are the
selfish, unthankful. Ballam is ther
father and destruction their re
ward."
In further discussing the last;
point he submitted that this reli
gion was unmanly, unsatisfactory,
unproductive and unchristian. j
Last Sunday evening the Every
Member Canvass was initiated
