The right leaders, who can plan, adjust and inspire the chu1 Jh and make il g. rallyiDg point are what the church most needs today. They should pro- mote fellowship of the churches. Ev- cry EndeaVorer ought to fill church offices as far as possible and aspire to fit themselves for those offices. They should increase the congrega- tion of the church, help in usherinG and singing, and cooperate with the pastor. They should take an interest in the business affairs of the church especially the financial side. They car bring happiness to the sick and feeble by sending food and flowers and by visiting them. Do a good turn eacl day for someone! They can help 1T the floral decorations of the church But they need leaders of strength, in- telligence and tact
