After the Revival—What?
(PASTE THIS IN YOUR BIBLE)
No one could possibly be more
rejoiced than I of the great meet
ing God in His goodness gave to
our recent efforts, and desiring
that the after effects shall be
helpful and pleasing I venture to
offer a few suggestions as to
what I consider ncccessary after
the close of the meeting.
The oldest problem of the
church is to keep its members
revived, and in a shade of readi
ness for work. The things of
the world persist in so crowd
ing into our lives that the most
of grow coldly inactive. I sugg-
set the following helps tor the
Christain life, and as a safe
guard against loss of interest
and spritual life.
First. STUDY THE BIBLE. Set
aside at least fifteen minutes
each day to read your bible.
Your.g converts might begin with
the Gospel of John. Let God talk
to you fifteen minutes through
His word. Talk to God fifteen
minutes each day through pray
er. Talk for God fifteen minutes
each d%y.
Second. Watch the crowd you
go with. Remember that a
changed heart means a changed
life. The world will expect you
to prove your Christian life. Be
sure to associate with God’s
people and attend regularly the
services of the church of which
you are a member. Remember
that you can’t neglect the means
of grace and be strong no more
than one may neglect to take
food and be strong physically.
The mid-week prayer meeting
is especially helpful to Christians.
Avoid bad people, bad books
bad thoughts.
Third. Win some one for
Christ. I have been told that
in heathen Korea a convert
first received on probation and
required to win to other souls
before being eligible for full
;membership. That would be a
good rule in enlightened America
tor that is primarily [the task of
Christians. No joy can compare
to that which comes from having
lead a soul to Jesus.
'“Do they not live who spend
themselves for others,
Who rise up early and who
late take rest;
Who daily toil to aid their
poorer brothers
Are they not drinking deeply
of Ilf’s best?”
Fourth. Give to the support
of the church. Give not grudg
ingly or of necessity, for God
joveth a cheerful giver. 1 Cor.9:7.
' Fifth. Do not be discouraged.
Remember the devil with all his
fiower and cunning is arrayed
. against your soul, but remember
, .that the eternal God is thy re
fuge. Many of God’s most
vyronderful saints were once very
weak and that all had to begin.
y The fires of tempation will only
i destroy the false and purity the
; gold there is within you.
I Sixtji. Keep your standard
high and continually look for
sjametbing bigger and better
in the Divine Life. Don’t be a
v spiritual tramp when resources
are at hand to make you a
millionare.
For this cause I bow my knees
unto the Father of our Lord
Jesus Christ, of whom the whole
family in heaven and earth is
named. That he would grant
you, according to the riches of
His glory to be strengthened
with might by His spirit in the
inner man. That Christ may
dwell in your hearts by faith;
that ye being rooted and ground
ed in love, may be able to com
prehend with all saints what
is the breath, and length, and
height; and to know the love of
Christ which passeth knowl
edge, that ye might be filled
with all the fullnes of God. Now
unto him that is able to do ex
ceeding abundantly above all
what we ask or think according
to the power that worketh in us.

LENT, 1916
Dear Parishioners:
1 That this Holy Season may be
helpful to you, and' through you
to others, and that the cause of
Christ’s Religion and His Holy
Church may be strengthened in
our midst, will you not do what
you can to make this the best and
most profitable Lent we have
ever had?
The Lenten Season is for the
deepening of the spiritual life.
Whatever the means may be,
and they may vary with different
people, the end of Ft all should
he that you, and I, and all of us,
shall find ourselves better able
to measure up to the ideal that
our faith imposes upon us. The
spiritual life should be to us a
greater reality, and all the inex
pressible, indefinable things of
the spirit should become as real
to us as the things we see and
touch.
To accomplish this end, let us
give up our theatre-going, par
ties, and all such social gather
ings as may detract from the
proper observance of the Peni
tential Season, that the Church
be not blamed.” Let us abstain
from luxuries in dress and food
and personal pleasures that hin
der us from self-mastery. Let
us examine qurselyes ^nd draw
dose ter (Sod •find Ask fervently
and earnestly for His help and
guidance, in putting away from
us our secret faults and open
sins. Let us read some part of
God’s Holy Word each day and
‘‘enter into our closet and pray
to Him secretly.” And let us
with a glad heart enter into the
public worship in the Church as
often as we can. Especially let
us not fail to receive the Blessed
Sacrament, and. By the power
and inspiration of the Holy Com
munion, enter into the life of
joyful service to God and man,
which is the chief end of our
being. I ask tt at you try to keep
this Lent as the Church has lov
ingly provided, and that you
regularly, day by day, put aside
the money value of all your self-
denials during Lent, and at Eas
ter, out of a glad and thankful
heart, let us each make a special
thank offering to God for His
goodness and mercy to us.
I prav for God’s richest bless
ings upon you and ask your pray
ers for the Church and for your
minister.
Your Friend and Vicar,
W. B. SAMS. ,

ers. These lands are guaranteed to he of the very best in this county i
timber on them now is estimated worth five dollars per acre and the tin
perfect.
Why not buy your farm instead of renting'.’ We allow you ten v
pay for it. The difference between buying and renting is this: To iijj
say that you buy a farm unimpioved for one thousand dollars, you iiujiroJ
farm the first year with your own means sufficiently to occupy a n ,( *
it. You pay for the farm as follows: You give ten notes of One Hundred!
lars each with interest at 8 percent, from tlie date of the purchase. y 0 “
one note each year With the interest only on the note you pay. y ou
ments will be as follows: At end of first year $108.00; Second year ?iJ
Third year $124.00; Fourth year $182.00; Fifth year $140.00; Sixth year
Seventh year $156.00; Eighth year $164.00; Ninth year $J72.0O; Tenthl
$180.00; Total $1440.00. '
If you should rent a like farm instead of buying you would pay
nual rent ot $180.00.
And in ten years tlie principal sum of _ ...
The interest on your first rental payment would be $10.40 per annum
for nine years amounting to - -
For second rental payment interest for eight years
For third rental payment interest for sev en years.
For fourth year rental payment interest for six years
For fifth year rental payment interest for five years
For sixth year rental payment interest for four years
For seventh year rental payment interest for three years
For eighth year rental payment interest for two years !j
For ninth year rental payment interest for one
The total amount paid by you in ten years principal and interest beingjp
Three hundred and twenty-eight more for rent than you would pay f or j
purchase of tlie farm. And the result al the end of ten years would l )c
you bought the farm it would be paid for in full with $1440.00 and you
own it with ail the improvement you put on it. But if you rented it insi
buying it you at the end of ten years would have paid out $1768.00 in rent]
you would own nothing. The above figures seem to be indisputable.
