NINE POINTS ON CHURCH
GOING

l. In this actual world, a church
less community, community where
men have abandoned and scot!ed at
or ignored their religious needs, is
community on the rapid down
grade.
2. Church WORK and church at
tendance mean the cultivation of the
habit of feeling some responsibility
for others.
3. There are enough holidays for
most of us. Sundays differ from
other holidays in the fact that there
are fifty-two of them every year
therefore on Sundays GO TO
CHURCH.
4. Yes, 1 know all the excuses. 1
know that one can worship the Gre
ator in grove of 1rees or by a
running brook, or in mans own
house Just as well as in a church.
But 1 also know as a matter of cold
fact that the average man DOES
NOT thus worship.
S. He may not hear a good sermon
at church. He will hear sermon by
a good man vino, with his good wife
is engaged all the week in making
hard lives a little easier.
6. He will listen to and take part
in reading some beautiful passages
from the Bible. And if he is not fa-
miliar with the Bible, he has suffer
ed a loss.
7. He will take part in singing
some good hymns.
8. He will meet and nod or speak
to good, quiet neighbors. He will
come away feeling a little more
charitable toward all the world, ev-
en- toward those excessively foolish
Young men who regard church-going
as a soft performance.
9. I advocate mans joining in
church work for the sake of showing
his faith by his works.-Theodore
Roosevelt.

donated school a library book each

purchased several State P. T. A.
song books for use in our meetings
and purchased a folding table to be
used in the serving of refreshments
and in the school. We have also
had the opportunity to hear fine
prominent speakers.
This is community organization
and not a district organization as
two or three persons living here
surmise. 1t is organized in the
United States to create a channel
for the distribution of accurate in
formation concerning schools and
school problems. By means of
this organization, except in a few
communities where circumstances
have made conditions unfavorable,
the home can be kept in direct
touch with the working ideals and
standards of modern education.
1t is organized to create means
Of developing a spirit of neighborly
cooperation for the community's
betterment
Those who have attended the
meetings regularly have been in
spired by the speakers and have en-
joyed the social contact during the
social hour.
We are well pleased with the in
terest shown by the community
during the closing year, and the
success we have had, but we hope
for even greater success this COM
ing year.

school which would be able to grad
uate pupils who have finished the
18th grade and stop the necessity Of
sending the children to other towns
to complete their high school course.
Milford and Georgetown are all
ready overcrowded with scholars
from other schools. The erection Of
a commodious school building here
would relieve the present situation
and give to all the children better
chance to advance more rapidly in
the different grades in which they
are enrolled.
We think if the matter could be
presented to the Service Citizens OF
ware in the proper light way
lid be found to give the desired
% necessary to carry into effect
fhe present needs of the several
school districts concerned. By an act
of Providence we are lid of one ole
and unsafe building, let us not bt
foolish enough to build another of
similar nature. We need to build fol
the future, and we should show
liberal spirit in so doing. While the
writer believes in economy, yet We
draw the line when we have to eco
nomize at the expense Of the welfare
of our children.
Let's get busy and have erected
handsome structure Of brick, large
enough for present needs and for the
future as well. We believe all who
take a part in bringing about this
needed improvement, will, when the
work is done, feel proud that they
had a part in the great movement
which means so much to the towr
and vicinity as well. The wheels o.
progress can only be blocked tenn
