Melville Church
Last Sabbath morning in Melville
church Rev. F. G. Fowler took as his
text I Timothy 1 :4, "Neither give
heed to fables and endless genealogies
which minister questions." In the
text Paul SVArnS T/MOtIly against pay-
ing attention to the fables taught by
false teo.ohers. This warning might
apply to the Greek and Roman
churches which divided on questions
of no importance. This warning
might apply to -day. Too many to-
day spend their time in controversy
over unimportant queetions. The
outstanding characteristics of the re-
ligion of Christ is peace and goodwill.
These are not obtained by Controver-
sy but by practisiug the spirit of
Christ. We should not pay attentioa
to articles whiclt bring no result but
questioning. At the evening service
the pastor's subject was "The Line of
tlae Greatest Resistence," based on
Matt. 7 :13 -"Enter ye in at the
straight gate ; for wide is the gate,
and broad is the way, that leadeth to
destruction, and many there be which
go in thereat." Christ realized that
following the easy way would not lead
to the goal be desired to reach so he
chose the hard way, No moral vic-
tory is ever gained by following the
line of least resistence. All great men
have attained greatness by choosing
the different way. The principle ap-
plies to the living of a Christian lite,
The easy way is not the right way but,
Ole Christian should seek to overcome
all obstacles. .
