The Cliffside News The Cliffside News is published each week in connection with The Forest City Courier. B. E, ROACH Editor % L ———— ' ' METHODIST CHURCH NEWS. Services are being held each day at 8:30 a. m., and at 3:30 p. m., for children and young people especial ly and again at 7:30 p. m. To these services all are cordially invited. On Sunday morning we had a fine service. Brother N. M. Modlin, who is a former pastor, brought us a fine message, Titus 2; "Christian and Sinner." The true christian is an oasi3 in a great desert; as roses blooming in winter. Christians have courage where sinners have fear. To know what a christian is, is to be one. A Eirmer's lamp is empty while a chris tian's lamp is trimmed and burning brightly. Brother Modlin will lead the sing ing while Rev. Frank Armstrong of Asheville will preach each evening. Rev. Armstrong preactted an inspir ing sermon Sunday evening using "Prayer" as his subject. Prayer a lost art to most of us. The church is self-satisfied, neglected, forgets, is too proud to pray. When we cease to pray we cease to be christians. Much prayer brings abounding life. Prayer is educative to the human soul. Prayer shows man his duty. There is no substitute for prayer and there can be no revival without a great deal of prayer. We need the old time power of prayer. Penitence: The spirit of the Pub lican praying clears the way for the more abundant life. There could be no more sincere penitence than that shown by the Publican as he stood beating his breast and praying. This man was creating the true spirit fill ed christian experience. Often by being willful, self-impor tant with a haughty spirit we block genuine penitence and hinder the operations of the Father. We must be submissive to the Divine mind before our souls can be cleared and our own lives properly headed into the future. We too frequently map cur ways to run contrary to God's "way. Our decisions look all-impor tart, our hearts have sinful obses sions. For such spirits sincere peni tence alone can make it possible for God to do His best for us. Sincere penitence is necessary to christian experience. Only through sincere penitence may we have the abun dant life. Penitence is the changing of one's mind. A genuine change of our minds to meet the mind of God is necessary to set matters right and lead us into the true christian spirit. So at this time let us say with the j Publican, '"Cfod be unto j me, a sinner." Luke 18:13. "BEFORE I started taking Black Draught, three years ago, my health was very bad," writes Mrs. C. C. Carton, 945 Concrrd St, Beaumont, Texas. "I suffered constantly from constipation. I had headache when I got up in the morning, and I felt dull and sluggish. I hardly ate a meal that my food agreed with me. Frequently I would have gas on my stomach, and felt awful. "I read about Black-Draught, and I thought it might help me. After I had taker it a little while, I felt much better. It relieves constipation. I keep it on hand so when I need a laxative I will have it. In the three years I have been taking it, I have never found anything as good for con stipation." VOMSN who are run-down, nervous, " r suffer every month, should take | Used for over 50 years.
