We'd like to use this column today, just to repeat of the nice things we've been hearing about folks during the past week. Compliments have been flying faster than any verbal barbs ever travelled, as come to the end of q hard months work
 First of all, members of the Valley Health Council and the Kwonis Club of Palmer have been very out spoken in their appreciation of public response and cooperation in the May cleanup drive. The Council and kiWonis feel that almost everyone tried to do something and they appreciate it.
 Then, Colony Day workers have been coming in for their share of expressed appreciation this week. Colony Day is always trial and burden to bear for those who plan and promote it. Often post-hoidoy post mortem of the days events will find Monday morning quorterbocks offering lengthy advice as to how Things should have been done" All we've heard this year heap of nice words about the way things were done by everyone concerned-cIeor down to an expression of appreciation for the way the potatoes were baked.
 Again, the Valley Volunteer Bremen have been worked overtime series of alarms during the past month One member of the department, speaking for the entire organization said cooperation at fires and everyone is willing to do any job that has to be done> not just handle the hose or something gonnorous like that"
 Finally, the KIWdndns are deeply uppreciutve of the way in which all concerned club members undI non-nembers alike, have joined forces to produce, stogelght, property and costume tonghts "MnstresI of 195O" They know can't help but be good show, the way everyone is working to make it success.
 Now we'd like to add our word It's a thino we someone over an issue until we're battered and bruised but when another project comes uonq that we both can agree on then the lad were bottinq with month ago is standing beside us oddinq his weiqht to the wheel.

MATURE
THOUGHTS
By RUTH r. WALKER

An electric connection with
heaven is made when mans
doubts are removed and he be-
lieves that the Word OF promise
concerning Chirst's coming. be-
came reality when Jesus was
born Of Mary.
God inspired understanding
ovesshadows any ideas he has
had previous 10 plugging into
the power that gives light over
shadowing that of the sun and
the moon.
Jesus was conceived in spirit
by spirit. He was the only be-
gotten Son Of God. when the in
spired Word OF God was full
filled and Jesus was conceived
by the Holy Ghost and born OF
the virgin Mary.
Supporting revelations were
made TO the Wise Men. and
supporting revelations were
made 10 many other persons. An
electrifying connection had been
made between Heaven and those
living in the flesh. There was
verified the Holy Conception in
the person OF Mary, and the
birth Of the promised Redeemer
IN the person OF Jesus.
The miracle OF the birth of
Christ as a spirit housed in
our perishable flesh prepared
the way for him TO emerge
from II again as a living eternal
spirit. Thus there was proved
TO every sincere believer in
Him that he too. need not die.
Yet, without the desire 10
develop spiritually and 10 be-
come worthy of Heaven. there
is left but the development of
the natural instinct to survive.
This development beyond rea-
son Is not worthy OF Heaven for

2. Systematic Giving. Giving
10 the church must not be a hit
and miss thing. The church can
operate effectively only as its
income is regular and sufficient.
The man who gives his church a
dollar every Sunday is a better
member than the man who gives
his church a hundred dollars
when he feels the urge. Such an
urge. anyway, is not frequently
felt by many churchmen. II Civ
ing is systematic, the church
will know how to plan its bud
get and to operate within it.
This system Of giving was en-
joined upon US by Paul in first
Corinthians 1872: Upon the first
day Of the week let every one OF
you lay by him in store, as God
hath prospered him. :"
3. Direct Giving. Direct giving
TO the church prevents the
churchs getting involved in all
kinds of questionable money
making schemes. Direct giving,
anyway, is the Christian way to
support the church and its pro-
gram. AS God as prospered the
membership. should they give TO
him through the church Of what
he has given them. Not only
will this kind OF giving help
the life Of the church. but il will
be a means OF spiritual growth
and power 10 every layman who
practices IL.
Proporionaie, systematic and
direct giving as means of H.

membership and their Christian
stewardship seriously.

feel that the can still play an
important role in the church and
community. This Is need serv-
ice which laymen can render the
aged.
2. Some aged men will be
entitled to old age benefits. Lay
men ma serve these men by
helping them to secure such
benefits.

The final great area of church
opportunities for laymen is that
Of financing the total program
OF the church. While men with
special training in finance are
needed TO serve on boards OF

for helping TO support the finsn-
cial program Of the church is a
spiritual one.
