People
The sympathy of the community
is extended to Addie and Lome
Hunking and Tom and Marjorie

mother, Cha-rlottc Bell of

Ross from Jeremiah 31. "Here a
new covenant is given to Israel.
God told them He would be their
God and they would all know
Him."
He continued from Hebrews 5, in
which it tells of an obedient Christ,
who suffered and died for God and
brought salvation to all who obey.
In John 12, Jesus tells the
disciples that by loving their life
they could lose it. Man must serve
God.
The hymn My Song is Love
Unknown was sung, followed by
the sermon "Succeeding by
Failing". Rev. Ross spoke of
numerous people in all walks of life
who arc unable to do as they desire.
However, in the future, things turn
out for improvement over their first
desire. There is sorrow and despair
in normal life but with God's help
things change for the better as time
proceeds.
Trust and faith in God are two
things that give a person Hope for
the future, he said. Rev. Ross
closed with a prayer on this subject
and thanked God for His care. The
Lord's Prayer was then said in
unison.
Collection was received, the
doxology and offertory prayer
given. The closing hymn, He
Leadeth Me, was followed by the
Benediction and Amens.
