Investing In the Church
We are interested in using our
time, efforts, and money to good
advantage. Some people belong
TO clubs because they enjoy the
fellowship. A person makes GER
tain investments because he hopes
they will be profitable.
Have you ever stopped to think
that when you invest your time
and effort in the church that you
are investing not only for the
present but for eternity? The time
that we spend in the worship of
God, in setting forward His work
and in cultivating our devotional
life is the best investment we
make.
The money we spend in our
church pledge is the best money
we spend. A dollar goes farther
and accomplishes more in the
Lords work than in any other
way.

into Christ's kingdom we are in
yesting in the present and the flu
ture. and for eternity. For our
eternal welfare, we simply cannot
afford not TO make these invest
ments.
Prayer Book Is Valued
Gift Of the Church
IL the church did nothing but
put into your hands the Book of
Common Prayer, she would merit
your continued gratitude and 10y
atty for that contribution alone.
II you do not appreciate the
truth of the above statement, then
may ask you, is it not because
of your lack of knowledge of the
Prayer Book?
Familiarity with the Prayer Book
will not breed contempt. l do not
believe that any book in the Eng
lish language. including the Bible.
can be read and used so contin-
ually with an ever-fresh interest
and value.
or course, choice selections OF
the New Testament comprise a
large portion of the Book (The
Epistles and Gospels). The Psal-
ter, which is a translation of He
brew poetry, has through the ages
been a vehicle of expression for
the earnest soul. The facility to
express the warnings of ones
heart. "the souls sincere DESIRE"
is more easily attained by famil-
iarity with the prayers of the book.
/ heartily commend as a devo-
tional practice the use of the time
before service for familiarizing
oneself with the book. / would al
so commend those prayers which
follow Family Prayer"
The church's attitude and teach
ing is easily discerned from the
pages of the Prayer Book and the
Prayer Book Churchman" is the
individual who, standing squarely
on the teachings of the church, is
not carried away "by any vain
blast of doctrine.
