May 51111. At the morning service the eineing was 1,d by a (heir of more Ilton 25 mothers 01 the eongregation and a solo, "Mother 0' Mine," was sung by Archie Ballantyne. A. most appropriate sermon was preached by the pastor, Rev. F. G. Fowler from Exodus 2:8 "And the maid went and called the child's mother." The in- fluence of the mother of Moses was stressed as the means which enabled him to withstand the temptations of the Egyptian Court. These tempta- tions were no greater than the temp- tations which face our boys and girls to -day, but boys and girls will be aide to withstand these if they have been given the proper training by a godly mother. The mothers hold the key to the situation in the Church and State. A mother's love is typical of the love of Christ because it will go all the way. Hebrews 11:27 "He endured as seeing Him who is invite- ilde" was the text taken by Rev. F. G. Fowler in Melville Church last Sabbath morning. Moses had the power to see the invisible. In the Egyntian Court he could see behind all the wealth and magnificence, the, oppression of his people; at the burn- ing bush he could see the invisible God. This power is necessary to -day in nur ehurehes. We need to see be- yond the church visible, the Church nf Jesus Christ, the invisible Church. The Bible is valuable only as it is road and used as a means of seeing behind the Bible -God. In travell- ing life's road it is necessary to have the companionship of the invisible Christ if we are to make a success of our lives. Last Sunday evening the Cad- et Corps of Brussels Continuation School attended eerviee in Melville Church, when the pastor preached, taking as his text, Matt. 22:21 "Ren- der therefore unto Caesar the things which aro Caesar's and to God the. thing's whish are God'." The boys were reminded of their two -fold duty (1) their duty to their king and (2) nide duty to God. One of threes duties cannot be performed rightly without performieg the other. Eaell iadividual owee a duty to hie com- munity and a ,luty to his God. The duty to God eztn only 1m performed be' answering the daily call to sere viva. This service to God and the king in mn• everyday life is more important t•han service for our king in time of war. A pleasant feature of the evening. s service was the sentries men's eompoeed of ahout 30 emeng men of the congre- getion. Their help in the service was nitwit appreciated by. the con- gregation, aS WaS tho singing of a solo, "Angel Land" by J. L. Kerr.
