There Is not a person In the world
whose life Is not followed as an ex
ample by other people. This Is a fact
that professing- Christians should al
ways keep before them.
It Is so easy for all of us to step
out of the straight and narrow path
ns wo pass through tho hurrying
world. Feeling strong In our belief
of God, we are apt to stray a little
when an enticing temptation comes
along and seems to offer somo sinful
pleasuro to us.
We believe no harm can como to
ourselves In taking just one sip from
tho sparkling brooklet of sinful en
joyment. When our pleasure Is ended
we shall forget It, and tomorrow we
shall do some great good that will
make up many times for our short
comings. Perhaps! Tes, It may be possible for
us to do so and thereby save our
selves. But how about those who are fol
lowing us as examples? -Possibly they
may begin to live on the morrow as
they saw us living today. And they
may And the wayward path so easy
that they may never come our way
again.
By living good, honest, God-fearing
lives every day wo can bo certain that
the weaker brothers and sisters, who
watch us as their guides, will never
stumble nnd fall in the brambles and
be ensnared by sin from which they
can never find an escape.
There Is joy In finding men and
women active In church work. All
who can should be busy. But even tho
inactive church members should re
member that, by living such lives that
those who follow their pathway are
kept from the wilderness, they are
'dally preachers for good.
The church's greatest enemies are
those peoplo who fall to practice every
day the things they, as members of
God's army, are supposed to preach.

YOUNG PASTOR AT NARBERTH
HAS REMARKABLE SUCCESS
The Rev. Chris O. Koppel Praised by
Methodist Episcopal Iieaders.
The Rev. Chris G Koppel, a young
pastor In charge of the Methodlei Epis
copal Church In Narbeth, has had such
remarkable nueeess since he took, charge
of tho work on the Main Line that n4
has been pralspd by the leaders of his
denomination in the Philadelphia confer
ence. He assumed charge of the church earlj
In July of this year, at the request of
Bishop Berry, who wanted to send soma
young man there who would build tip the
work. For tho last 20 years the growth
of the congregation had been painfully
plow, to quote the official organ of
Methodism In the East. But during tho
last three months more members have
been added than were ever received Into
the church during the same length of
time.
Mr Koppel has added 21 adult members
to the church roll, has Increased the en
rollment of the Sunday school by 54
pupils and the voung people's society has
doubled its membership Tho material
prosperity has also been increasing, and
several hundred dollars were spent dur
ing the summer for Improvements to tho
church and parsonagr.
The Rov. Mr. Koppel went to Narberth
from Morrlsvllle, Pn.
