Ewelrs-St. Paul Church Notes
In lieu of the usual notes the fol-
lowing is contributed: DR.. R. H.
Felix. chief of the National Insti-
tute of Mental Health, states that
nine million people in the United
States need mental health service;
that so per cent of all doctors pa
tients suffer from ailments caused
all or in part by emotional prob
lens. What is it that can make
these people strong enough to
meet the demands of life? There
is nothing equal to the power of
Christian faith. 1 can do all things
through Christ which strengthen
eth me. If God be for us, who can
be against us? My peace 1 give
unto you. The pospel itself is the
Christian key to mental health.
The Christian faith is healing and
health-giving for the mind. It's
counsels are those of courage and
confidence. 1t sweeps away our
dark anxieties and fretful fears
with living faith in living God.
1t helps us to shape our environ
ment when We can; to adjust it /
when necessary. Devotional read
ing for today: Let not your heart
be troubled.-John IA: 1.
Keep in mind these important |
dates Friday and Saturday, Sep
tember 11th and 18th. The TB
x-Ray Unit will be at 4 corners,
Clayton, on these dates. It's free,
takes only a minute, and no un-
dressing. Are you one in a thous-
and? About 250 people in Della
ware, approximately one in a
thousand, have tuberculosis and
don't know it. You can't tell who
has TB by looking; you may feel
healthy, look healthy, and still
have TB- Most TB can be cured
fast if it is found early. X-Ray is
the best way to find tuberculosis,
certain Lung Tumors, certain
heart conditions EARLY ! So
don't forget the dates.
