Quite thrill - building new home Day
by day you watch it take shape. And somehow,
you have the feeling that this new house will
bring new life for you and your family.
But building new life isn't as simple as
building new home One just can't move out
of the drab past into sparkling future.
The life to which conscientious men and
women aspire is built on foundations that cannot
be laid in week or two. Character, courage,
conservation - these concrete evidences Of
faithful years in the worship and service Of God.
Today, where there are new houses there are
new churches - and where there old houses
there are old churches. And through the portals Of
all the churches pass the millions Of earnest
families who are serious and happy about building
a new life.
