necessary in the life of the chris

spirituality. We cannot do anything
successful without spirituality.
Strive to be more spiritual. Second,
intelligence. One who is able to util-
ize what is put at his disposal.
Third, loyalty to our christianity,
and to our church and God. Loyalty
strengthens the bonds of the church.

on the affairs of the church our faith
and service. A duet was rendered by
