CO-OPERATING IN SERVICE
Lesson for May 15: Mark 9:30-41
Golden Text: Mark 9:40.
By REV. CHAS. E. DUNN
A few genuises are able, like Rob
inson Crusoe, to live a satisfy
ing life in solitude. But most hu
mans are gregarious. We were cre
ated to be comrades. Our need for
fellowship is well indicated by this
appealing remark of a lonely boy,
“Mother, I wish that I were two
little puppies, so that I could play
together.” “The most gracious and
the most useful ministries,” writes
Dr. Fosdick, “are found in co-oper
ation.”
For gced-for ill, we are all
bound together in one great bundle
of life. As St. Paul says, “we are
members one of another.” Crusoe
was able to mainain himself on his
lonely isle only by virtue of his
ability to salvage indispensable sup
plies and tools from the wreck of
his ship. Dr. Harris, a former
president of Amherst College, has
graphically described the dependence
of the ordinary man on the labors
of his fellows in far distant places.
“When he rises, a sponge is placed
in his hand by a Pacific Islander, a
cake of soap by a Frenchman, a
rough towel by a Turk. At break
fast his cup of coffee is poured
by natives of Java and Arabia, his
rolls are passed by a Texas ranch
man, his orange by a Florida Ne
gro.”
The Master well knew that the
most efficient and rewarding serv
ice is not rendered by isolated in
dividuals, but by teams. Hence he
sent forth his disciples by twos, and
taught them to pray “Our Father.”
A great industrial leader demon
strated his appreciation of the value
of teamwork in the way he handled
a young employee going wrong with
drink. “My boy,” said he, “we are
not going to drink any more, are
we?” “No, sir,” replied the youth,
“we’re not.” “And we are going to
send each week so much money home
to the wife and kiddies, aren’t
we?” “By heaven, sir!” was the
answer, “we will.”
DEATH CLAIMS
BABY SON OF MR. AND
MRS. F. H. CHANDLER
Almond Warren Chandler, 16-
months-old son of Mr. and Mrs. Fred
H. Chandler, died Monday night at
11:30 o’clock at a Bainbridge hospi
tal, where the little fellow had been
carried for treatment a week pre
vious. Death resulted from an at
tack of colitis.
Funeral services were held with
interment following in Bethel ceme
tery Tuesday afternoon. Officiating
were the Revs. J. E. Pate and S. B.
King. Pallbearers were Sevola
Jones, Bert Taliaferro, W. C. Cook
and Howard Davenport. Minter, Fel
lows & Forester were in charge of
arrangements.
Surviving are his parents and two
sisters, Virginia and 'Winnie Mae
Chandler.
The sympathy of friends is extend
ed to those whose hearts are bleed
ing because of the loss of this little
one.

THE BLAKELY
BAPTIST CHURCH
SPENCER B. KING, Pastor
In speaking about “My Mother’s
Religion” last Sunday, the pastor said
a thing we want to repeat here for
the benefit of some who were not
present: “God saw that if there were
not a special Day appointed in which
to worship Him, Religion would die,
and so He has commanded that we
should ‘Remember the Sabbath Day
to keep it holy’.” Our great sin is
that we have taken God’s Holy Day
and made of it a holiday for our
selves. You who read this, will you
not stop a moment and consider if
the preacher is right? If you think
he is not, please tell him so, but if
you agree . . . .?
Sunday School at 9:45, next Sun
| day. Preaching services, 11:00 a. m.
and 8:00 p. m.—note the change in
the hour for the evening service.
Training Unions at 7:00.
At the morning service the pastor
speaks on “The Journey of Life”,
from the text, John 13:3, “From God
—to God”. At the evening service
the message will be on “The Hope
of the Soul.”
Has it ever occurred to the mem
bers of the churches that they are
doing wrong in absenting themselves
from the evening services of their
church? It is the hour when the
pastor is earnestly endeavoring to
bring an evangelistic message to lost
souls and he needs the presence of
the members, and these members also
need to hear the message. Let us
pray about it and follow where His
voice is leading!
The Woman’s Missionary Society
meets at the church on Monday at
4:00 p. m., the Sunbeams in their
room at the same hour. The Busi
ness Woman’s Circle meets on Mon
day evening at 7:30 with Mrs. J. C.
