The sermon topic was on wars and the residents have expressed many com- ments this past week -stating -what- an -in: teresting subject it was and how informative. Twenty-three residents went to the Clinton Public School on Monday af- ternoon to see the play called "Swinging Piper" • put on by the school children. We spent a delightful afternoon watching the play and hearing the two choirs sing. The residents felt that the children did an excellent job and enjoyed the singing roles. The Over 90 club met on •first floor north on Wednesday afternoon. After Mrs. Elsie Hen- derson and Cecil Skinner entertained they were served cookies and tea by the volunteers. Mrs. Coleman,_ Mrs. Gibson, Mrs. McAllister, Mrs. Grace Peck, Mr. Chester MaWhinney, and Mrs. Margaret Murray had a game of shuf- e oar in the auditohtim nesday afternoon.

The question is one that should be addressed by every individual and searched with sincerity and soberness. Looking into Hebrews, Chapter 2 would give one a clear picture of the earnest application that ought to be applied to the matter of the eternal soul. The writer of Hebrews says, "Therefore", or because you have received a revelation superior to that given in the Old dispensation, by one superior to angels, "ye ought to give the more earnest -heed; lest...we should let them slip". We ought to pay close attention then, or to heed abundantly, the direction given by Christ through his disciples. The in- structionis of utmost5- importance in the matter of eternal life. Without close attention then, or to heed abundantly, the direction given by Christ through his disciples. 'The instruction is of utmost importance in the matter •of eternal life. Without close attention one will let slip or flow past or leak out the important spiritual directives of Christ. Be watchful therefore! If the word attended by angels was steadfast or proved, true ,' and required recompense of reward, "How shall we escape?" If one arifts and neglects, how can he flee away or hide from God's justfee? You must avail yourself e:ki great salvation". The writer speaks of a neW .dispensation. Not the teaChing of the word of, salvation but an actual exPerience which is God's gift to humanity.

Verse 4 deals with the •question at band saying, not, only,does the witness. tesiify but "God bearing them witness". We need not depend on our own inister stu course agree with the teaching of His Word, but is deeper than in- telleCtual understanding. It was "by the Lord confirmed by them that heard". Therefore by the testimony of witnesses it righteousness. There is a deeper work than simply a clear conscience. One must stand tmcondemned before God. It matters not what we testify to unless we have the testimony of God. This Praying hands and song is theme BY M.E.

TO seek feeling from God is • the height of selfishness. But how is' your record before God? Notice he spoke of "signs and wonders and diverse, miracles and gifts of the Holy Ghast, according to • his own will". God must be free to act accofding to His will. How easy fox -us to limit Him to a form or gift or grace. He must be allowed movement in line with His discretion. The writer will hardly permit one's opinion of himself to rise too high for he reminds one of David's words, "What is man that thou art mindful of Him and the son of man that thou visitest him." But neither does he leave us in despair. "But we see Jesus", in verse 9, lifts the soul. How can we scope that phrase? Hardly possible is it? Jes4s making through his death the fulfillment of the qkl law, ,corntemo rretecitime withth; Nowritual of because of his suffering and death he is crowned • with glory and honor. Can. you not see. here the •'soVereignty and baauty Of His way?He by the grace of God tasted death for us that we might together enjoy gloriotis redbmz- ption. Verse 10 tells that all things. llave thbr being in God and are realized through Ifirn. He is -the sum and,substance. • This matter of spiritual life can be real and. vibrant, He can bring to nought or make of none effect the work andpawer of sin and Satan.
