(Note: If your Young People’s Society is not in any . denomination, make the application of this lesson to your own local church.) Introduction Although it is not a good thing to become too self-centered in our own de nominational program, nevertheless it is a good thing occasionally to turn the attention o f our Young People’s Society to our own church, and to the associa tion of which it is a part. We need to know "what our denomination stands for,” the meaning and purpose of it, and the principles and policies it upholds. In order to gain the most benefit from this investigation, let us attempt to determine what God expects of our denomination. For Those Who Have Topics I.

In embarrassment the minister told him to go home and to pray about it. A few days later the colored man came to the pastor sayings “Well, suh, I’s prayed about it and I’s decided dat I doesn’t want to belong to dis church, but I don’t feel bad about it, for de
