Carson used a chart rack to present the sermon. He said we all need to have a goal in life. This goal for a Christian is to be like Jesus Christ. To be perfect is to be kind, honest, patient, and helpful. It is sin that causes us to fail, but it is by prayer and study that we become more Christ-like. Mr. Carson concluded by saying that the person who has tried to live the God-like life, can face death victoriously. Youth attend winter retreat Medway Choir has been invited to sing between breakfast and before church. United Mr. Tupling continued the' series of sermons on the question "Why?", asking: "Why Does God Allow Evil?" He pointed out that evil is the central problem of religion. Some have been at- tracted to Christ and some have been "turned off" religion en- tirely by the same set of cir- cumstances. He developed the sermon around two statements: "Evil is only evil insofar as man is in- volved"; and "God can use evil for the furtherance of his good." There is no evil in nature, which operates according to the laws of God; but there is evil in man, who seeks to be free from God's law, and interferes both in the balance of nature and the natural rights of other men. The Cross of Christ is the an- swer to human evil, because it symbolizes the triumph of one man over the forces of evil which are latent in human nature. smnimpir Vacuum Supplies & Parts FILTER QUEEN — EUREKA COMPACT — INTERSTATE ELECTROLUX — HOOVER COMET REGINA — ELECTRO- HYGIENE-CANNISTER CYLINDER and UPRIGHT Having difficulty cleaning your carpet?
