CHURCH NOTES
Rev. W. J. Malvern of Melrose
Highlands occupied the pulpit in the
F. B. church last Sunday. The dis
course bristled like a chestnut burr.
His topic was “The Characteristics of
a Christian Life" his text being “What
do ye more than Others?" Everybody
thought everybody else got hit and
numerous were the covert giggles
from behind fans and many were the
sly winks from one corner of the eye.
It istrange how much it adds to the
enjoyment of our religion when we
see the other fellow getting a black
eye. It strikes us that we are all
pretty well bandaged.
