I LIFELINES I I I | In conversation with leaders of various organizations, g we find that it is the same in all groups, that the faithful ■ B few carry the load. ■ ■ We have found it true in the church life and that these B || serv from various loyalties. |j Sometimes it is loyalty to a certain plan in which we are I l interested, and other loyalties are to certain leaders. ■ The test of true Christian Loyalty, is our relationship ■ to the Lord Jesus Christ,and loyalty to Him will lead to dedig cation of life to His work. Loyalty to Him will enable us to put the right valuation ■ on what we do with our time and energy. ■ As we look to the summer months there will b many |l things that will call for our eneigies, and will call for disI crimination in using them. We will escape the summer slump in our church and ■ Sunday School attendance if yu will keep in proper rlationB ship with the Lord Jesus Christ, and obey Him. MINISTERS OF WALKERTON.
