Evening service and sermon, 7:30

Text of morning sermon: St. Luke
19 verse 26. "For I say unto you,
that unto every one which hath shall
be given, and from him that hath
not, even that he hath shall be taken
away."
The sermon presents an interpre
tation of the parable of the “Ten
Talents” disclosing to us the theme
that—as a man thlnketh so is he.
Subject of evening sermon. Merry
Saints. Text: Proverbs 15:13. "A
merry heart maketh a cheerful coun
tenance.”
Why not have Merry Saints as well
as jovial sinners?
“True godliness is as cheerful a:
the day.”
There is a harmless mirth, in the
middle zones between frantic merri
ment and the Indigo blues- which
the devout man will find no hindrance
to the culiivation of his religious feel
ings, while it is tlie best cordial for
his spirits.
