The sermon last Sunday morning
was replete with helpful admonition
concerning prosperity of the church;
the text was Psalms 1925. 1t was
shown that true prosperity consisted
not so much in numbers, finance,
equipment, or eloqence as in real
religion. Officials and lay members
should work together with the pastor
for the best results.
During Sunday school partial re-
port was given of the Conference S.
S. meeting of last week at Beebe,
Que, and an efficiency certificate pre-

the remainder of the report will be

Strong for Home Paper


mo, | don't take the local paper

They had just been looking at a

that's about all | need. 1t has few
items every week from our commu-
nifty, and | feel that l save two dol
OARS year by not subscribing to the

"Well, that's one way to look at it,"
said the other farmer, "but I've always
felt that a local newspaper was a
pretty valuable asset to any commu-
snity, and if everybody took the atti-
tude you do, there couldn't be any To-
scal newspaper. Of course we could
mot get along without our daily papers,
because they keep us informed about
whats going on throughout the ma
,tion and throughout the world, but
when you say that they take care of
our lOCdi news, L uol luluk YOU are
sticking close to facts. They simply
can't, and the publishers haven't any
personal interest in our community
the way our editor has.
7 81 have always felt that l got value

dollars | intend that the rural mail
carrier is going to tuck copy of the

Tint farmer knows that the COM
munity newspaper is necessity in
his home; that without 1t his home
would be incomplete and his part in
the community would be unsatisfactory
to himself and his family. He knows
the full value of the local newspaper
as an institution.
