Our Personal Lobs
Friends mean much to us in life,
and the loss of a friend cuts deep-
ly into our heart, but the loss of
our friend, Mr. J. W. Harrell, is a
peculiarly sad and personal loss.
For about. 23 years we have been
associated with Mr. Harrell, in the
office and as close friends. Always
he has been true and splendid. We
have counted him as one of our |
best friends and we shall miss him. i
To you, dear Mrs. Harrell, D. P.
and Christine, and other loved
ones, our deepest love and sympa-
thy. You will find your greatest
comfort to be the memory of his
good deeds, his devotion to you and

Farewell Conference
Year iServices .
Rev. Morris House's messages of
Sunday closed out the conference
year's work. Sunday morning he
spoke appreciative words for all
who have rendered loyal and faith
ful services through the year—this
carrying with it a challenge for
supreme loyalty and larger service
for the new conference year. Hav
ing potential powers within our
church, if we would open our
hearts and hands to doing our best,
the larger service would be accom-
plished. Paying special tribute to
those who had sacrificially render-
ed large financial support.
At close of the service a love of-
fering was taken supplementing
ministerial support in the district.

A LAUGH-PACKED
JUaoe fecMle!
As this offering was made, invita-
tion was extended to partake of the
holy sacrement, kneeling at the al-
tar. This was a lovely service. The
theme being one of timely tender-
ness, "Power of Traditions." In this
day when we seldom hear the cry
of our traditions, we are made to
feel the need of these priceless
treasures.
Bible setting, the sacred story of
Naboth, 1st Kings 21: How he gave
up his life, rather than lose favor
of God and the tradition and in-
heritance of his fathers. Wicked
King Ahab brought down upon him
self and his family the judgment
of God for his wickedness in ston-
ing Naboth and taking possession
of his vineyard.
We have Ahabs today, seeking
the destruction of nations and peo-
ple, of democracy and liberty.
We need Naboths to stand for
our inheritance. Dearer to us than
life are these sacred traditions:
democracy, liberty, true family
home life, family altars, the Bible,
the Sabbath and oyr church ser-
vices. Ah, what would life be with-
out them; Let us re-create them!
The most precious possessions of
any nation or family are its moral
traditions. We become christian be-
cause of a christian heritage. God
help us to say with Naboth, "God
forbid it me that I should give up
the inheritance of rtiy father." If
you were denied a godly inheri-
tance from your mother and father
you have the power through God's
help to leave one to your children.
Let us not surrender any sacred
principals to modern Ahabs. Make
the traditions of our great past the
traditions of our homes today.
Evening theme: Spiritual growth
and danger of statical living.
