LAST WILL— TESTAMENT
IS SI'BJECr OK A SERMON
Tho lust will and testament of Jes- i
us was tho subject of the sermon by
the Kev. Duane Karl Carter of the
Methodist church, last evening. The
scripture lesson was read from the
fourteenth chapter of the Gospel of
John. Tho last will and testament was
very brief. It was a non-intervention
will. It was not to pass through the
regular channels of the prohate court,
'•hich individual was to prove tho will
for himself. It was delivered orally in
these words: “Peace I leave with you;
my peace I give unto you."
“There are three considciations,”
said Rev. Carter, “which are condi
tions to the enjoyment of the benefits
of this will. They arc tho past, present
and future. A right, honest and just
life in the past; a life of service to
mankind in the present, and a contin
uation of these noble and kindly acts
in the future are the essentials to our
entering upon the inheritance be
queathed by Jesus to his disciples.”
