Mr. Lyness Wark, from Hanover was the guest speaker. Scripture was from John 6: 53-71 with the text, "Will you go away also?" Every question has a problem that leads to that question, Mr. Wark said. Some people came to Jesus because He performed many miracles while others accused Him. Jesus' teachings did not fit into everyone's thinking. All of the ceremonies are nothing if your heart isn't in it. Jesus is the bread of life, said Mr. Wark. He is the source of life.
