ALL FOR THE CHUR n
The Church is the greatest factor on earth for
the building of character and good citizenship
1t is storehouse of spiritual values. Without
strong Church, neither democracy nor civilization
can survive. There are four sound reasons why
every person should attend services regularly and
support the Church. They are: % For his
own sake. (2) For his children's sake ~ For
the sake Of his community and nation. ca For
the sake Of the Church itself. which needs his
moral and material support. Plan to go to
church regularly and read your Bible daily

a half an hour due to brake
trouble and there was quite a
line of traffic waiting to cross the
tracks. She said she waited until
the truck ahead of her was almost

can to flash. After attempting &c

got out just before the train
crashed into it.
