ont, was the special • speaker, Dr.

ed all to be preachers and said what
a wonderful influence on the com
munity it would be if all iu the con
gregation were preachers. Many have
note the gift of tongue, he said, but
they can be preachers by example.
By our lives we shall be known, he
said. If we knew God we could not
help but love Him and if we knew
the heart of the living God is break
ing for us we could not help but go
back to Him. God will glorify Him
self by the life of the’people.
At the evening service the Scripture
reading was the'5'4th chapter of Pro
