ANNIVERSARY James St. United church celebrat ed its 75 th anniversary on Sunday Large congregations were present for both the morning and evening services. The special speakers for the day were Rev.

The Main St. United church and the Trivitt Memorial church withdrew their evening services in honor of the occasion. Contributions for tlhe day including a donation from the Women’s Association were slightly over $900.00. At the morning service Rev. Mr. Millyard delivered a very impressive message basing his theme on life of Barnabas. Barnabas sent to Antioch to arrange for conducting of revival, meetings, work was so great he wished to se cure an assistant and Barnabas- went to Tarsus to seek Paul. Together Barnabas and Paul conducted a suc cessful evangelistic tour which end ed at Antioch where a theological dispute arose which was disrupting the church. Together they went to Jerusalem to lay the matter in dis pute before the head of the church. After returning to Antioch t'hey agreed to ’part.’ Barnabas means “iSon of Consolation” which was typical of this character. He was a good man; a generous man, full of the Holy Ghost and faith. There can be no absolute surrender to t’he will of God without faith. Increase ■ my faith. That is where it all starts. Barnabas was full of the Holy Ghost and much people was ad ded unto the Lord. Is t’hat not cur purpose to add unto the Lord- Do we fail or do we succeed? We do not always fail as much as some people think we do. We cannot tab ulate the results noi' -can we par ade it to the people. What are we going to do about it? winneth souls is wise.” for nothing better on seventy-fifth anniversary the Grace of God will rest upon you in adding people unto the Lord.

In answer to- her question where should men worship, Christ gave the answer in the text. The spiritual element is predominant in worship. We must understand something of worship and whom we worship.

We have been ta-ught that man’s body returns to the earth but “He I can this than that pray' your that PETERS—ANDREW. A quiet wedding was solemnized at the home of the officiating min ister, Rev.
