TAYLOR I REGENERATION ' Until my friend moved to another State, we spent most 'of our spare 1 ime together. Rut when we were to 'gether, there were no spare hours. We both tried to live the Christian life, so, of course, we were happy. ,The creed of his church was somewhat different from mine. Rut I believed in the lrind of life he lived, and I know he believed in the kind 1 tried tv. live. He went with me to my church, and the next Sunday 1 would accompany him to his. It did not matter what kind of Ilibles or prayer books were used. We wer" not the least concerned in the local name of the church or it.-; doctrines. Whether we stood to pray or knelt did not con cern us. Rut we were interested in getting closer to Jesus and thanking Him for His goodness and jjfceking His continued good will. We knew that this could be done in any church," regardless of its doctrine. Jesus is interested in ,souls, not creeds. Jesus makes a study of ijui lieai t, not the doctrine. —' Those who are trying to follow in the footsteps of the Master are not only offering peace but everlasting life, through Jesus; not only faith but a lasting love. They are not inter ested in any doctrine with justifica tion alone but regeneration. That's the thing, my friends, regeneration. ,We do riot have to study and ex amine the doctrines and creeds of the \arious branches of the House cf Gort to find the one in which Jesus will be found. Most of the branches are good, and if they are trying to obej Him they are good. May they all grow big. May they all continue to compete, and may this grow ke-ner with the years. Jesus is interested in all of those that claim Him as the head. Every one that loveth is born of Cod, and every one that is born of God is Christ's. It is so simple. J, BUS IS so easily found. In all churches, in the home, the office, the street, every where. '"-WhoSo shall receive a little child in My name receiveth Me." You can receive Jesus anywhere you like. And when you receive Him you will grow more like Him, and you will be j patient humble ami generous and] unselfish and kind, and courteous. I And then any church will be God's! ehurch. , NOTICE I'nder and by virtue of the power' of sale contained in that certain deed i of trust executed to the undersigned tru 'ee on the 7th day of May, 1919, i.nd of record in Martin County reg- r istry in book A-2, page 140, securing! certain boruls of even date therewith. | :md the. stipulations not having beein complied with, and at the request ol ; the holder of said bonds, the under signed trustee will, on the 81st d ty of May, 1927, 12 o'clock noon, of-!
