* Coulter Continues Lenten Sermon _ Statham Takes Series In Sunday Morning Services “What is That To Thee?” These words are found in the | Gospel of John and will form the | ‘background for the fourth in a ser- ies of Lenten sermons to be given | tomorrow morning at the First) Presbyterian Church. The crucifixion was over, the re- surrection a fact when the Disci- ples met on the shore of the Sea of Tiberias. The call of the old life was still strong in Peter, James and John. They went fishing but caught nothing until the Master di- | rected their efforts. oe The occasion of the text,is in the question asked by Peter, which showed his concern for what was going to happen to the Apostle John. The answer Christ gave pro- vides the main issue that all of the followers of Jesus must face. We are not to be concerned with the other fellow. Jesus suggests | that we follow Him, and concern Pilgrim’s Progress The popular evening series In this allegory, Christian is on way from the city of Destruc- Mt. Zion.

In another room were two chil- dren, one called Passion, the other Patience. These two are figures of two different ways of life, Passion, of the life of this world, Patience of the Kingdom of Jesus Christ. Another interesting place we meet in the journey is the Palace. A building beautiful to behold, in- habited by those clothed in beau- tiful garments. On the outside were many who desired to go in, but who could not. Among those on the out- eide was a person called Man, who is in the Iron Cage of Despair. The second stage of the journey closes with Christian continuing with thanksgiving on his journey ‘to Mt. Zion. Week's Schedule d The Youth Fellowships will meet tomorrow night at 6:30 p. m.
