SEVENTH STREET
CHURCH NOTES.
By Miss Marie S. Lindsay
Sunday morning the Com
munion of the Lord’s Supper
was administered. Dr. Wyche
was assisted in this service by
Dr. F. J. Anderson.
Dr. Anderson spoke to us
from Isaiah 53, part of the 3rd
and 4th verses: “He is despised
and rejected of men; a man of
sorrows and acquainted with
griefs. Surely he hath borne our
griefs and carried our sorrows.”
Dr. Anderson asked, Who is
it that bears our griefs and car
ries our sorrows? It is the Lord
Jesus Christ. We have all had
griefs and sorrows, even the
babies and little children.
There are times in our lives
when we seem to be free from
sorrow; the time of youth when
life is full of pleasure, but' pleas
ure will come to an end. It has
been the experience of many a
man, to look back over his youth
with sorrow and wish he could
live life again.
Some of us wish for riches in
order that we may not have sor
rows, but the rich have pains,
heartaches and sorrows. Riches
do not take away sorrow. We
have sorrows and we keep them
to ourselves. We are afraid to
tell them to our closest friends.
Often they will come to sym
pathize with us, and then go
out and gossip about what we
have told them.
But there is One we can tell
our troubles to, the Lord Jesus
Christ. He takes our troubles
upon Himself; and, infinitely
more, He suffers for them more
than we suffer. No human be
ing can or wants to help us as
the Lord Jesus Christ. If we
take Jesus Christ into our life
He will take away the sin and
much of the grief and sorrow.
There is no healing for the sin
and sorrow of the world but
through Jesus Christ.
Mahy members and friends
of the church expressed their
love and good cheer through the
Friendship tree during the
Christmas season. Mr. William
Yongue takes this means of
thanking all those who helped)
him make the tree a success. He
states there were 200 more
gifts on the tree than last year.
Visitors in our church Sun
day were Mrs. Ella Smith of
Philadelphia, Pa., and Mrs. Le
titia Burns of San Francisco,
Cal. Mrs. Burns is an aunt of
Mrs. W. E. Partee and is en
route to Florida.
Mrs. R. P. Wyche’s class
turned over $8.40 to the church
to use in any way it is needed.
The Seventh Street Guild
Missionary Society will meet at
the home of Mrs. Ethel Shaw
Friday evening, January 15.
The Westminster Guild

II Corinthians 5:1-4.
Theme: VLife is a Pilgrim
age.”
Introduction: Briefly state
St. Paul remarks to the church
at Corinth.
I. The Christian knows for
a fact that he is travelling to
another world.
(a) We dwell in tents which
might be destroyed at any mo
ment-liable to accident.
II. The Apostle Paul repre
sents death as the unclothing
of the soul.
(a) At death we leave this
mortal body here, and the soul
returns to God who gave it.
III. Christianity teaches us
of the form of the future per
manent state of believers.
(a) The believers’ state in
eternity is forever, and there
we shall know even as we are
known.

Why expect “Big Money” froth your Dus-..
iness when you don't invest any money
in it? It would be as foolish to expect a
rich harvest of wheat when you sow
oats. An investment of a small sum In
an attractive Sign will pay big dividends.
Think it over and let us hear from you.

pastor was absent, and Dr. P.
W. Russell spoke to us from
Judges 5:3, “Hear, 0 ye kings:
give ear, 0 ye princes; I, even I,
will sing praise to the Lord God
of Israel.” This was an enlight
ening sermon and all who heard
him were filled with the Holy
Spirit.
This being missionary day,
after remarks by the President,
Mr. J. L. Davison was asked to
lift the collection. He was as
sisted by Mr. Levi Davis, of

CALDWELL CHURCH NOTES
December 21 we had a warm
prayermeeting. There were sev
eral expressions by members,
then our pastor, Rev. Foster,
preached to us from St. Luke,
the text being, “Unto you is born
this day a Saviour.” It was a
wonderful sermon. He told us
how we should give gifts. He
said to the young boys and girls
that the greatest gift that they
could give was to give their
hearts to God.
Arrangement was made for a
dinner for the old people Decem
ber 27, something that had never
taken place before. Our pastor
did not preach to us as he was
