Mrs. B.A. Sullivan
Human Relation* D y ushers serving at the
"Because God First Loved ceremony
Is"
Because God first loved
us. A simple phrase; and yet
the theology of the Christian
faith and the rationale for
Human Relations Day are
both presented in these five
words.
Human Relations Day will
be observed, Sunday, Febr-
uary 12, at the morning
worship service of the
Smithville United Methodist
Church.
First observed in 1973,
Human Relations Day has
become more than an
offering taken to help "Bear
another's burdens." The day
is a reminder of the unique
pluralism of United Metho-
dism, and the richness of it's
many cultures.
Whatever the project,
wherever it is carried out.
Human Relations Day ex-
emplifies a loving concern
for others. Love that we
wish to share because God
first loved us.

men could do but wait for the
Bluebonnet Electric Co-op
truck to come out and cut off
the power to that pole. As
for as we know no one lost
power in the incident. We do
thank the men for respond
ing, and Buddy asked me to
especially thank the security
policeman at the Science
Park for his help while they
were waiting for Bluebonnet
