TUTE The Sunday schools of the Western District, Presbytery of Southern Virginia, held an all-day Institute, Sunday, July 19, at Holmes Memorial Pres byterian church, Chestnut Knob, Va. The Institute opened at 10 M., with a Model Sunday school, conducted by our Sun school missionary, Prof. S. L. Young, and Miss Mamie • Taylor. The subject of the Sunday school lesson was “So cial Service in the Early Church.” Some very interesting ooints were brought out in the lesson. At 11:45 the annual sermon was preached by Rev. Russell Taylor, pastor of Holmes Me morial. Rev. Taylor preached from the text, Number 13:30, “And Caleb stilled the people before Moses, and said, Let us go up at once, and possess it; for we are well able to over come it.” - Rev. Taylor’s subject was “The Unlimited Possibilities of Faith.” It was a very touching sermon. Rev. Taylor explained very clearly and fully how lim itless faith renders all things, Among other thingis he |$a$d that “Faith is the basis for all things, the . foundation of all knowledge and the pure rela tion between man and God.” After the offering was taken the benediction was pronounced . and the meeting adjourned for dinner and socializing. The afternoon session was . given over to the young peo ple. The meeting opened at 2:30 with a praise service led by members of Trinity Sunday school, Ridgeway, Va.
