Rev. Ross’s sermon
discusses good deal
Nancy Park was the organist for
service at Knox on Oct. 29 playing
the opening chorus Holy, Holy, Holy.
Throughout the service old
familiar songs were sung.
Scripture was from 2 Kings 4.
In this Elijah gave orders about
oil to a woman and she obeyed,
then had proceeds to pay debts,
on which she and her family could
live.
The second scripture was from
Philippians 2 regarding the need
for a person to think of not his
own needs but of the needs of
others. The final scripture from
Mark 12 was about Jesus giving
the first commandment on the
need to love the Lord with
strength and mind and the second
to love thy neighbour likewise.
Rev. Ross’s sermon was Sounds
Like a Good Deal. He and his wife
presented a play on the need for
good reading. The value of The
Observer was presented. Mrs. Ross
persuaded him to try it and find out
how really good it is.
Lawrence Plaetzer and Gregory
Park collected the offering.
