text for his morning sermon Sum-
day, February 20, was Bring
Forth Fruit in Old Age"
Thoughts derived are that there
are more than Is million beyond
the age Of 65 and those retiring
at So win have an average Of 13
years to live. The latter years, or
golden years, are equally as re-
warding as ones younger days.
Every elderly person, in order to
enjoy those Golden Years" must
have a purpose which is rooted In
God. The speaker stressed that
questions we should ask ourselves
are what are we doing for the
aged as a government 2-What
are we as children and grandchil-
dren doing for our aged? As a
church and what are the older
people doing to help themselves.

In loving memory Of our beloved
husband and father, Charles n.
Miller, who passed away five sad
years ago, March 4, 1856:
You babe no one last farewell
You said goodbye to none,
The heavenly gates just opened
wide
A loving voice said come"
God saw that you were suffering
The hills were hard to climb
So he gently closed your weary
eyes,
And whispered, peace be thine
Your weary hours, your days Of
pain; your weary nights are past
Your ever patient WORKOUT frame
has found sweet rest at last
And while you lie in peaceful sleep
Your memory we shall always
keep.
