From The Ministers Association

Again we are approaching Easter.
Nearly all the churches of our two
towns will hold special meetings
the week before Easter. We need to
live as God would have us live. but
IN order to do this we must get
right with Him by accepting Christ
ms our personal savior. The min
listers make the appeal for all to
pray more during these weeks, but
deeds and life speak louder than
words Hence they make the appeal
for all TO give up social, fraternal
and club meetings. during the week
before Easter, and for all to attend
the special meetings every night -
