Despite the weather the attendance
was creditable. The minister also
taught the adult bible class in the
enforced absence of its teacher.
At the evening service of wor
ship, attended by a relatively large
congregation, the minister contin
ued ihis series of sermons entitled
“The More Excellent Way.” He
reminded his hearers that the term,
“more excellent way,” in substance
had its origin in the realm of ath
letic competition where the success
ful competitor, crowned with the
laurel wreath of victory, exerted
and exacted from himself a feeling
ly superhuman effort'that enabled
him to breast the tape ahead of his
rivals. This, in the realm of moral
and spiritual values, the more ex
cellent way; Paul urged upon his
fellow-Christians located in the
heart of pagan and materialistic
Corinth. This, in 'turn, the min
ister urged upon his hearers. In
all of ^life’s associations the quali
ties of love, the heart of the more
excellent way, must prevail.
Next Lord’s day evening the min
ister will continue his series of ser
mons when his subject will be
“Love Tunneth Away Envy; Love
is Never Rash”. You are welcome.
