DDT Spraying Crews
Beam Third Year

The Holmes County Health De-
partment has released information
that the spraying of houses with
DOT for the control of malaria has
begun its third year of operations.
This program provides for the
spraying of sub-standard houses in
Holmes County.
In order that the best results may
be obtained from the spray it is sug-
gested that the walls and ceilings
of houses be cleaned before the
house is sprayed. If the cleaning is
done afterwards the DOT will not
be left to kill the mosquitoes. Pic
lures and mirrors should be taken off
walls, clothes should be taken out
of closets and off walls, furniture
should be placed in center of room
and covered, and kitchen utensils
should be put away where the spray
will not reach them.
1t will be of great help in getting
the work done efficiently, if resid-
ents will watch for the spray crews
and have their houses in order when
they arrive.

Seeking to add reality and more
effectiveness to the Parallels OF

and investment, the pastor of the
church informed the membership
that they were to take this money
and put it to work for the Lord. On
the third Sunday in October, which

and the 101st Anniversary of the

the four Baptist Colleges in Miss
issippi, preaching to the people in

CHRIST'S LOVE AND OURS
"We love Him, because He first
loved us."--1 John 4:19
The Cross of Calvary, where the
Son of God died for sinful men, de-
c1ares a message to the world-the
message of the greatest love ever
displayed on earth. Greater love
hath no man than this, that a man
lay down his life for his friends."--
John 1913. That love caused Him. to
come into the world. That love COM
PEELED Him to go to the cross and
bear in His own body the sins of the
world. No other one could die for
the sins of the world. He alone was
spotless and could give His life a
ransom for many.
"There was no other good enough
To pay the price of sin;
He only could unlock the gate
Of Heaven and let us in"
Because he loved us unto death,
even the death of the cross, we who
believe in Him as our Savior, love
Him. Love so amazing, so divine,
demands my soul, my life, my all"
Our response to His love is devoted
love to Him. This love will manifest
itself in a life patterned after His
sinless life and a desire to do His
will in all things.
80 dearly, dearly has He loved,
And we must love Him too,
And trust in His redeeming blood,
And try His works to do"
Do you love Him who died for
you? Will you not say today, Thou
gavest Thyself for me: give my
self to Thee?
