HOW TO BE HAPPY THOUGH SINGLE'
I Corinthians 7:7-9;
"For I would that all men were even as I myself. But every man

2
carefulness. He that is unmarried careth for the things that belong
to the Lord, how he may please the Lord: But he that is married careth
for the things that are of the world, how he may please his wife.' Now
verse thirty nine, "The wife is bound by the law as long as her husband
liveth; but if her husband be dead, she is at liberty to be married
to whom she will; only in the Lord. "
There are more singles in cur society tonight than there have
ever been before. I read some statistics the other day which said
one out of every five households in America are now led by a single
parent. Now fortunately more singles are coming to the house of
God than have ever come before either. Multitudes of those who are
