S GREAT SUCCESS (Continued from 3rd preceding page) Highland Park Methodist Church North Averue at Lauretta Place Nearly a generation later the great missionary to the gentiles wrote to the Galatian churches, be not deâ€" ceived; God is not mocked: for whatâ€" soever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. These were not the words of a stripling, of a youth, unacquaintâ€" ed with life but of one who had had much experience in life. He had made some long journeys, He had dealt with men. Both those who had agreed with him and with those who had disbelieved. He had foundâ€" ed â€"churches and made many conve to the faith of the gospel, and from a large and no â€"doubt often disapâ€" pointing ‘experience . he could bring forth this seemingly startling stateâ€" ment. Rut having no doubt heard these earlier words of Jesus ‘he could ‘~By their fruits ye shall know them. So spake the greatest teacher this world ever knew. As he walked the shores of Galilee, or traveled the roads ‘of his native land, he_was speaking words simple but wonderâ€" fully effective. As we in these days of spring begin to make our gardens it behooves us to think anew upon these words of Jesus the son of man. By their fruits Â¥e shall know them. And as we go about that greater task of making a life or of seeking to guide those of our children in our own homes, or of those whom the school board have put into our care, the same serious word ought often to ring through our minds. By their fruits ye shall know them. The Sunday school keepsâ€" up a splendid attendance with good interâ€" est in all departments. Arttangeâ€" ments are being made to install some curtain partitions in the large baseâ€" ment room so asâ€"to better adapt it to the use of various classes. We would like to see all our parents coâ€" operating with teachers in having all our children at Sunday school every Sunday morningâ€"â€"and the parents themselves also..= Far <better | say "Come, let us all go. to Sunday school and church," than to say "Goâ€"on to Sunday school" to the children while fatherâ€"and mother stay home. ~ Your action, parents, gives them the imâ€" pression that: religion â€"counts for but little in your estimmation. We have two adult classes for parents. If there has been any lack of soâ€" cial life in the church it has certainly not been among the younger class, and this week Wednesday, the Friâ€" Mu‘s gave a little social time to the girls‘ club class in the social room 0: the church which proved quite enâ€" tertaining, the boys putting on a litâ€" tle stunt farce which proved. very amusing. Theyâ€"also provided some lively games ‘and ~had some good "eats" of course. f & . Nextâ€"Sunday will be "Thank Offerâ€" ing Sunday" on behalf of the Woâ€" man‘s Foreign Missionary society. There will be some special music and the sermon will treat of the great mission work of the church, â€" the greatest enterprise in â€" the world. Rev. Dr. C. F.

What of these young folk whom the world in derision calls slow and perâ€" ‘haps . derides becauge they > have chosen to walk ~by the rule of the Galilean? Do they really have a good"time in life? Are they happy because they seek to live simply and helpfully and chose ‘their companionâ€" ships from among those who profess to love the Lord Jesus Christ and who seek to live by his teachings?

Happy the parent who plants this truth deeply in the mind and heart and character of his or her child. Â¥i* s And today we are again and again in meed of this lesson. It is needed by all ages though not always acâ€" knowledged or accepted by all. Ohilâ€" dren meed early to be itaught this truth both by word and by example. It is well for the child if the parent will allow him to share in the garden plot, in the home life, in the music, in the other activities of the home. For those early lessons, though.for put the same truth in a slightly difâ€" ferent dress and send it forthâ€" upon its mission. ~ esnt 3 Highland Park Presbyterian Church _ Laurel and Linden: Avenues Rev.
