On account of bad weather there
-were only a few members present last
Sunday night. The Seniors and Adults
met in one class and discussed the
lesson: "From the Far Country to the
father and Home." In the daily Bi-
f le readings we brought out the two
•fold sacrifice that is made if we real-
ly love God. If we love and serve
•God as we should we are ever ready
-to serve and help our neighbor.
For next Sunday night, February
19th ,we have a Doctrinal Meeting—
•iCWhat Kind of a Being is Man?"
4Read Psalm 8:1-9 and Psalm 15:1-5)
Mittie Ethredge, Group Captain of
<Group 1, will have charge of the pro-
gram. The program will be carried out
sib follows:
1. Answers of So-Called Scientists
—Alta Phillips.
2. We Believe What the Bible
Teaches—Lois Hollis.
3. Man Created in God's Image.—
Crladys Norwood.
4. Dwell on Man's Dignity—Mae
Viser.
5. Man, an Immortal Being —Rob-
Irie Redding.
6. Man, a Free Moral Agent—Re-
fjecca Gibbs.
7. We Inherit a Marred Image —

Man is God's Masterpiece and the
crown of creation. Man is more than
flesh and blood for God loves man
and prepared a home in Heaven for
him.
This is a very interesting as well
as important lesson, so come and
study with us, "Man's Dignity and
"Worth."
