Christmas Club
THE FARMERS AND CITIZENS
BANK OFFERS EASY PLAN
TO PROVIDE MONEY FOR
CHRISTMAS.

Everybody needs money! for Christ
mas. Many people have trouble
providing a sufficient amount to buy
all the presents needed when the
time comes. The Farmers and Citi-
zens Bank of this city, offers an easy
plan to meet such a contingency On
December 26 it will start a Christmas
Saving Club. Members will pay in
small amount each week for fifty
weeks and at the end of that time
will receive checks for the total
amounts they have paid in plus an
additional 3. per cent interest. The
plan is simple and systematic. There
will be different classes of members.
For instance, one class will start in
by paying one cent the first week,
two cents the second week, three
cents the third week, and SO on for
fifty weeks, the last weeks payment
amounting to fifty cents, Or they
may reverse the order of pay
ments by paying fifty cents
the first week and paying
one cent less each succeeding week,
which brings the last weeks pay
ment down to one cent. Members
in this class will receive checks two
weeks before Christmas for $12.75,
with interest. There will also
be classes starting with two and
five cents. Payments must be made
promptly every week or in advance
for as many weeks as may be con-
venient.
1t will not only prove beneficial to
grown people, but will prove very
popular with young people. 1t is
very simple and the details are easily
understood when explained. Every
body is welcome to join and the
Farmers and Citizens Bank will be
pleased to have those interested cal
and learn all about it. Those desir-
ing to become members can join after
December 26th.

Someone may inquire, Why are the
doctrines of Christ so misunderstood
that six hundred different denomina-
tions have resulted from the differences
Of theory respecting them? The ex-
planation is that. shortly after the
death of the Apostles, the Adversary
sowed the seeds Of false doctrines, u.s.
ing human lips and pens in his service,
through pride and ambition. The dark
ness became so great that we speak of
the period as the Dark Ages"
The various denominations of Chris
tendon are evidences Of honesty, per-
severance and love Of the Truth, be-
cause our forefatherS who made these
creeds were each trying to get back
into the true Light. They all made the
mistake, however, of holding too much
to the creeds and theories of the past.

cts this darkness, and who has blessed
and guided His children throughout it,
