THIS SUNDAY ---
ATTEND THE CHURCH OF YOUR CHOICE!
I

Too many pressing responsibilities in the
Lord's work. The congregation couldn t
afford to have its church painted.
But painted it was! # .
That was a glorious Saturday—no picnic
Or ball games, just hours of hard work. And
what with the paint supplied at cost by a
local dealer, and the brushes loaned by the
very painter who might have hoped for the
contract—nobody made a nickel!
But the remarkable thing is that nobody
in town thought all this remarkable . . .
You know Christianity has had a deep
influence on the life of a community when
we begin to take for granted the zeal and
sacrifice of Christian neighbors. The next
step is to add our strength and faith to
theirs in the worthiD and work of the
Church*
THE CHUBCH FOB ALL . . .
AU FOR THE CHUBCH
Th« Church is The greatest f<jc-
H>r on ear*h for rh# building of
character and good citizenship It
is a storehoua* ol spiritual va.u*s
Without a strong Church neither
democracy nor civilization can
Survive. There are four sound
reasons why ev#ry person should
attend services regularly and sup-
port the Church They are (1)
For his own sake (2) For his
children s sake (3) For the sake
of his community and nation (4)
For the sake of the Church itself,
which needs his moral and ma-
terial support Plan to go to
church regularly and read your
Bible daily.
