Methodist Church Notes

Last Sunday services were fine. A
fine worship program rendered by the
Bible class; 1876 in Sunday school: Il
fine crowd at church. All this the
pastor does surely appreciate, but it
is like eating pie, we want more pie
There was fine spirit in the board
meeting that afternoon, not discOr-
dant note, no pessimism, every one
seemed to be facing the future with a
hopeful outlook. The new year stands
before us as great field of Opportun-
tiles, just waiting for the folks to enter
in and reap glory for themselves by
serving others
For this to be done it will take the
faithfulness and loyalty and cooper
alton of Gide0n's band. Every man
standing in his place, and when the
leader breaks his pitcher, the rest
break theirs and let their lights shine,
and every fellow blow his horn. We
don't want a horn unblown this year.
Let's face our place in our commun-
ity, church and home and remember
that they are just about what we make
them and If we want a better road. n
better town, better church, larger
attendance at the lodge and church
and the Sunday school, a better choir,
better music, help make it. Throw
away your hammer, it won't saw
wood"
Lets assume responsibility. and stop
trying to shift it on others. Forget
how to criticise. Help to build. There
is always plenty to tear down without
you, and it is more encouraging and
inspiring to build. 1t is more thrilling.
We will have special subject Sun
day morning, "The HOary Hair" The
Text: Prov. 1G 81. "The hoary hair
is crown of glory, if it is found in
the way of righteousness" A special
song: "Silver Threads Among The
Gold"
You are cordially invited to attend
and worship with us. We offer you
hand Of welcome. c. Il. Gray, Pastor.

Don't Call II Xmas

America is Christian Nation.
Christmas is a Christian Institution
celebrated annually in commemOration
of the birth of the Savior of mankind.
The word Xmas" which is commonly
used by many really good christian
people to express the day christmas" !"
really means nothing, To place the
letter "X" instead of the letters
."C-H-R-I-S-T' means to leave Christ
out. The definition of the letter 'X"
is a mathematical term meaning an un-
known quantity. Christian people
everywhere should demand that the
full word Christmas be used to the
end that this sacred day be held up to
the high standard to which Christian
America is pledged.
