Mason City may not finish out its

port from Mason City the attendance
has been pitifully small during the past

papers loyalty assert that this losing
streak is not the cause of the waning

they love, they labor, and, in Gods
good time, they fall asleep in Jesus,
in the peace and quiet, as child
upon his mothers bosom, and wake
Up in glory.

Christian, than ever before. Paul
said: For me to depart and be with
Christ is far better
"They are happy now, and we
soon their happiness shall see
Third He's coming back, and
that, possibly, very shortly. For,
: If we believe that Jesus died and rose
again, even so them also which sleep
| in Jesus will God bring with him. "
"Behold, come quickly" said Jesus.
In view of these facts, well may the
apostle exhort. Wherefore comfort
one another with words"
Fourth. His departure says to all
that know him. and especially to
those that admired and loved him,
"Be we also ready"
1t was ordered that this action be
