News from
Thames Road
By MRS. WILLIAM ROHDE
Rev. K. Teddy Smits conducted
the church service on Sunday morn-
ing. Rev. Smits told the children's
story about the Trojan horse.
In real life we must watch careful-
ly, for the devil could easily find us
asleep and take us.
In his sermon, the Rev. Teddy
Smits used as a text St. John 2:4b
"My hour has not yet come".
When personal disaster strikes, we
are inclined to pray to God that He
may send a quick delivery from all
our troubles.
God does help, but in His way,
and in His time.
