The topic of Mr. McKiernan's message for the evening was "Too Busy." Scripture was read from I Kings 20.

Too often we are too busy doing the unimportant things in life, but while we are busy here and there, opportunities are there for our development, but by being too busy we may lose our opportunities, our homes, our city, our friends, our- church, our soul. Take time for God or you should dwarf your soul. What doth it profit a man, if he gain the whole world and lose his own soul? To begin the week right come to Sunday School and church services next Sunday. At the morning service Mr. McKiernan will speak on "Why Should and at the evening service, "A Ladder of Jesus' Words."
