A little cold or stormy weather will
not scare many of us, if we have an
invitation to big Thanksgiving din
ner but of course the church services
are a different thing and not nearly
SO important. We appreciate the
blessings and mercies of God SO lit
tie that we think of the physical
pleasure and comfort rather than the
comfort and needs of the soul. Our
external comfort and welfare is of
more Importance than our physical
comfort here for short time. Let
us make next Sunday the day when
we will attend some church service
and worship God in spirit and in
truth Stop and think about the
benefit of the Sunday school to your
home and family and then see If you
do not find that you yourself are In
need of its help and 1t in need Of
yours. We had a fine League last
Sunday night. You are the loser II
YOU do not attend these services.
League meets at $3.50.
Have you anything, to be thankful
for? If SO, attend the Thanksgiving
services in the Church of Christ
Thanksgiving Day morning at 1880.
II you think you Have nothing to be
thankful for, you had better take a
trip through Europe and stop In the
thickest Of the fighting. It will help
you to appreciate Gods goodness to
you. Y
