'Mortgage of Life’
la Sermon Subject
“The Mortgage of Life” Is the
subject of the sermon for Sunday
right at the Central Christian
church.
“In this day of mortgages when
life Is strained to the very breaking
point to lift indebtedness against
one's home and property, it seems
wise thst we should look at the
mortgage that many of us have
allowed to be placed against our
life. It is a mortgage that must be
lifted someway or there will come
a definite and final foreclosure. Yet
the great Joy Is that there need
not be this foreclosure. As our gov
ernment has lent Its resources to
aid In the matter of saving homes
from foreclosure, so the great King
dom of Heaven Is lending Its re
sources to those who would save
their lives from loss. This sermon
has been prepared with all groups
of people in mind: the church mem
ber and the non-church member.
The hour of service Is still 7:30
All are welcome. It was stated.
