Bible Class
Twenty-one ladies attended the Bi-
ble study Tuesday morning at Sauble
Court. Millie Desjardine gave the
opening prayer and led the hymn
sing. From the workshop on "Heart
Troubles" they began a new chapter
on the "Faithful Heart."
People like to think that faithfulness
comes easily to everyone but
themselves, but "enduring to the
end" doesn't happen automatically.
In I Kings, God was pleased with
Solomon, who did not persevere and
finally gave into sin. People cannot
depend upon past experiences of
God's grace to help them keep faithful
in the present and future.
The word "faithful" is repeatedly
linked in the Bible with the words
,e" and "servant." The Bat
character trait of a faithful sera is
perseverance, to ask the Holy Spirit
to dwell within and to do His will. The
lesson was led by Nita Sinclair who
also gave the closing prayer.
remembering the sick and the shut-
ins. The meeting will be the same
time:and place next week.
