Sermon — "The Secret of a Great Life"

Hammond, IN, 1935

TRINITY ENGLISH LUTHERAN

Waltham street and Park place.

H. A. Nuoffer, pastor.

Sunday school at 9:30 a. m.

Bible classes at 9:30 a. m. at the church and at the Northern States building. If you attend once, you will be back.

Morning service at 10:45 a. m. Subject: "The Secret of a Great Life."

The religion of Jesus Christ is one of deeds, not of words; a life of action, not of dreaming. It is easy enough to assume the character and manner of a Christian, but to live the Christian life is not so easy. It is well for us to pause at times and to look into our lives very closely to ascertain whether we are mistaking outward form for true religion. To this end Trinity church invites you to come and hear its pastor speak on the topic: "The Secret of a Great Life" tomorrow morning.

"Good-bye God, summer time is here!" Thus millions of people are shouting at this season of the year — not with words, but more forcibly with their actions. Are you one of them? A real Christian is a summer Christian as well as a winter Christian.

Come, the Friendly Lutheran church at Harrison park has a message and a welcome for you.
