THE Community
LOAD AND MAX
ING It EASY

written especially for this paper.)
Resultful activity is possible where
organization and loyalty strive for
values that will be of general advant-
age.
The greatest benefit to society is OBJ
tanned through the churches; the or
ganized modern activities that uplift
the spirit of mankind.
Salvation is heralded as free; and
it is free to those who accept it; but
the greatest value grows out of sal
walton when, because we are saved,
we gladly give our time and attention
to bring it to others.
Taking note of the needs of the
world and each endeavoring to do his
part in giving life a broader and bet
ter meaning, appeals to every true
man and woman.
Every community has churches or
gained in the work of bringing peo-
pie to realize that their needs can be
met and their ability to help increas-
ed
Public morality always has this
double aspect: negative side, the re
moval of obstacles; and a positive
side, the setting up of opportunities "
Each individual has something he
could bring into church organization
and help develop for the good of the
community.
IF thou hast something, bring thy
goods, a fair exchange be thine; if
thou art something, bring thy soul
and interchange with mine!"
We are all striving for the same
ends: for making of life a brighter
and better prospect for the children
of today, and preparing for better
life to come.
We are anxious for the same gen
eral good, that will give US a con-
stantly higher standard of conduct.
The opportunity is not one of Sun
day only, it spreads through the week,
every day, every month, every year.
The Sunday service is a public ex-
preston of a desire to be counted on
the lifting not the leaning, side: to be
among those who pray, "Thy King
dom come, Thy will be done, on earth
as it is in Heaven"
When the bell rings for church you
are offered an opportunity to respond
to be ready and willing to help those
engaged in patriotic uplift.
We receive in ourselves the good
we desire to give others.
The province of the modern church
is to take the standard of citizenship
and community interest to a constant
ly higher plane and make life con-
stantly more worthwhile to all in our
midst.
We owe the community our partici-
patton in the work Of building up the
churches to higher standard of eff
ficiency. It's duty for all!
Making life better is a great adj
venture. Are you helping?
