He took his topic "Don't Lose Heart!" from II Cor. 4:2 and 16, saying that in this day of inflationand troubled times, in dissatisfaction and discontentments, many people everywhere are wondering why these things are happening. , We feel discouraged because things are not going at all the way we want them to and we tend to lose our way, always restless until we find "rest" in God. Our hope is founded on God and we must keep in tune with Him if we are to recover from our discouragement. Mr. Jardine said "Weekends are too often "weakends" because we have not been renewed by coming to God's house to hear His word". Hesaid to Call upon God, seek Him and do not lose heart.
