MT. ZION BAPTIST CHURCH
ReU. J. H. Dennis, Pastor
What a fine world ours could
be, a world of peace and plen-
ty and prosperity! But fear has
made it a gloomy nightmare.
There can be better days
ahead not by changing parties
but only by changing hate to
,ove. Come to Mt Zion Sunday,
Oct 20, 10:45 a m and you may
hear and see and feel some
thing that will lift and start
you on a helful upward march.
Rev Dennis last Sunday morn
ing spoke on "He is more than
all" If God is for you, you are
safe, To enjoy the feeling and
the knowledge of care and pro-
lection you must know God.
The Apostle Paul said: eff I
know in whom I believe, why
fear? When He is wise, mighty,
loving and good, not only good,
but of the highest good, the
bdJt. Again he said: "He is
faithful to his promise. They
shall walk and not faint, they
shall mount as eagles, etc. At
7:30 p m was another stirring
message, theme, what lack 1
yet?" The over-zea' Gus young
lawyer - he is not alone. We
can see the worst in others but
good in ourselves. I pay my
way, I attend church service
whenever I can; I cant do as I
see so many so-called Chris
tians do. I do the best know
all the time. So did the young
man. But what about service
day by day as compared with
service whenever one feels like
it? Duty to God means to be
good all ones life. The young
mans trouble is yours and
mine. He felt no sense of guilt.
He lacked faith in Christ; a
new heart was needed; self
denial was lacking. Constant
service is of the highest value
in the cause one represents.
What do you lack?
A musical program will be
presented at the church Sun
day Oct q at 1880 7:30 D m.
Don't miss it. Come, see and
hear, and take part in the
song service. There will be So
los, duets, trios, Quartets, Choir
uses and other musical treats.
Remember, the program of
music and song service, Sun
day night, Oct. 81. Come to

last Sunday from a very rest
full vacation. Pastor Bailey
urged Christians to know and

and assets, and thus establish
a good pattern toward getting
along with our fellowmen. The

of Mrs Bailey, provided excel
lent music and a little later on
we hope to list some of the

speaker at Shiloh next week

program to which all citizens
living in and around Medford

gram is an annual event here
during which many old and

in a community reunion of

mony. Plan to at5oend. Buy

past for those who attend.
Don't forget the Rummage Sale
next week. Among the Shiloh
visitors last week was Mrs Car

Mrs Airline Booker has gone
south to attend the funeral of
her grandmother. Mrs Barbara
Anderson is teaching school in
Rhode Island. A son has been
born to Captain and Mrs Ham

week had to forfeit three
games due to the inehgibility
of a player. But this does not
take any credit away from the

cards to many local citizens
last week during his stay in
the west. Ben Ostheus has been
named vice president of the
New England AAU and Ed

well as those who are now

Vets Progressive Club is shin
ing example of genuine prog
ress here and since the boys
have come home we have all
seen a definite beehive hum of

most encouraging visit to Lin

Guests with tickets may also
accompany the boys. The Ram

great fayorites in the League
and the fans recognized their
handicaps and rooted for them
all over the city. The Medford
newspapers also continually
praised the fact that the local
team refused to quit and
fought hard throughout the
entire eighteen game schedule
from May through August.
Many of the boys exhibited fu-
ture great promise and the en-
tire Rambler team will be one
of the most popular and best
respected clubs at the Base
ball League Banquet. Mr. and
