Assembly Of God
How does the future look to
you? Do the portentous clouds
that hann low upon the horizon,
fill your heart with uneasiness
and anprt huision ? Do you have
an unfaltering faith in God and
have you appropriated His pro-
mi-es to yourself? Do you resort
often to prayer and do you read
your Bible regulaily? Does the
Lord's day find you in youi place
it church and Sunday School and
is your life just a.- consistent
during the other <i.\ days? Do
our lives measure to the Bible
tandard and are we really pre-
pared now for our meeting with
God, which is inevitable? What
do our neighbors and friends and
acquaintances see in your life and
mine that would convince them
that Christ lives in us? We ait-
only as good, you know, as our
deeds and not a- good a- our
intentions. Perhaps we have plan-
ned to do better but the days and
the month.- and the years find no
change in our lives. Eternity
looms—and the grave yawns for
us and the judgements are com-
ing. We shall nive account for our
negligence along with our mis-
deeds. How is it with our souls?
Why not at this moment pro-
pose that life in the future shall
be different? Why not yield fully
to God? Meet God's conditions
and pay the vow that is due Him.
Seek out the church of youi
choice. Put God first in your lives.
Renounce the world, the fle>h and
the Devil and live the life of a
Bible Christian.
A welcome awaits you at the
Assembly of God Church to any
of the regular services. Sunday
School begins at 9 15 A. M, There
is a class for every age. There
aie simple stories about Jesu.-
and other Bible character- for the
children on up to a mixed Bible
Class for adults where each one
is invited to participate in the dis-
cussions and questions which
characterize ea !i session. The
Sunday School is followed by a
worship service with a sermon
from the Word of God. There is
an evangelistic service each Xuifc
day night in which God's pre-
He nee is often manifested in a
most unusual way as the Word
i.s confirmed with "signs follow-
ing". There is a Bible study con-
ducted each Friday night and such
ubjects are dealt with as: The
horn again experience, personal
and winning, Holy Spirit baptism
and others. This Friday the sub-
ject will be? "The Return of
Christ." Bring your Bible and
enter this study with us.
You are united to attend any
or all of these services. The As-
-embly of <i>>d i !* -ated three

Refrigeration has come a long way since
those days of the well house and the cooling
cellar. The ultimate today is the modern
natural gas refrigerator, which protects per-
ishables indefinitely, provides roomy stor-
age space for frozen foods and plenty of
ice cubes for frosty summer drinks. Depend-
able natural gas service helps you with all
the big jobs in the home.

Back of your natural gas service standi a
great and growing industry, a fine example
of private investors and private manage-
ment helping to build a better life for all
of us. Nearly every resident of the Gulf
South benefits in one way or another from
the operations of the natural gas industry—
•hrough the millions of dollars it places in
circulation through its payrolls or local pur-
chases, its royalties to land owners or itt
dividends to inveitori.
