homemaker.
They love to sing and are
members of the Blyth United
Church Choir.

Brooks. Floyd Herman was music
director. Rev. Gary Clark welcomed
everyone to church on Pentecost
Sunday. He drew everyone’s
attention to the announcements
printed in the bulletin.
The call to worship was the
singing of the hymn, “Holy Spirit
Come” followed by the prayer of
approach and the singing of the first
hymn, “Come and Find a Quiet
Centre”. The scripture was from
Acts 2: 1-15 followed by the
response “Hallelujah”.
Rev. Clark’s message to the
congregation was “Do Prophet for
Profit.” Pentecost is a big
celebration 50 days after Passover.
Many Jews gathered together to
celebrate at the Temples. In those
days there was just a donation box at

Walking along the Narrow Way
(Arthur Pink, “The Narrow Way”) (continued from last week)
“Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to
destruction — and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the way that
leads to life — and only a few find it.” Matthew 7:13-14
Multitudes make a profession and claim to be saved — but their lives give no evidence
that they are “strangers and pilgrims” here on earth, and that their “treasure” is in
heaven. They are afraid of being thought narrow and strict. Satan has deceived them —
they imagine that they can get to heaven by an easier route, than by... denying self,
taking up their cross daily, and following Christ!
There are multitudes of ‘religionists’ who are attempting to combine the two “ways,”
making the best of both worlds and serving two masters. They wish to gratify self in
time — and enjoy the happiness of Heaven in eternity. Crowds of nominal Christians
are deluding themselves into believing that they can do so — but they are terribly
deceived!
The reason why so few will enter Eternal Life — is because the multitudes are not
seeking it in the way of God’s appointing! None seek it aright — but those who pass
through the Narrow Gate — and who, despite many discouragements and falls,
continue to press forward along the Narrow Way.
