with the suggestions of the county

the return of all those who strayed
from the ranks, allured from the

Il invites their return not to be
received only to "hew wood and
draw water," but to be taken
back in full fellowship, and be so
treated so long as their motives
are honest and their actions prove
them worthy.
The result: Never were the
primaries better attended; never
was there such a return of pro-
digals, thanks to the liberal lest
suggested by the Kxecutive com-
mittee.
All these things mean a great

Next Sunday at 11 a. m., the
pastor will deliver a sermon in
answer to the questions: Did

lie know man would fall and that
Christ must die for his redemption
and that finally millions of men
would be lost! If so why did a
< tod of infinite wisdom, goodness
and mercy ever make man? And
♦
after (Sod had made man could
lb have kept man from falling?
If so. why did he not do it? All
intelligent people, both learned
and unlearned, are invited to hear
the sermon. The questions will
be answered.
