Way Found to Put
Colorful New Roof
On Modern House
The man who owns a modern
house with a nearly flat roof now
has a new opportunity when it
comes time for him to reroof his
home.
The opportunity lies in The fact
that a new roofing application
method for the first time permits
the 'use of colorful shingles on
low-slope roof decks. It is suit-
able for new construction as well
as for new roofs on old houses.
The method makes possible the
use of three-tab, square-butt as-
phalt strip shingles on roofs with
slopes as low as two inches per
foot. Previously, a four-inch-per-
foot pitch was the lowest for
which asphalt shingles were rec-
ommended.
Unlike the materials that had
to be used for low-slope roofing
before, asphalt shingles offer a
wide ( selection of solid and
blended colors, ranging from sub-
tle pastels through deeper shades
of green, blue, and red to blue-
black and black. The light colors
are often chosen for one-story
houses because a light roof tends
to make a low house look larger.
Asphalt shingles can usually be
applied directly over the old
roofing, saving the expense of re-
moving the old material and also
retaining its considerable insula-
tion value.
Low-slope application calls for
two layers of asphalt-saturated
felt to be laid on the roof deck
before the shingles are applied.
These two layers are cemented
together along the eaves, in areas
where the temperature averages
below 25 degrees F. in January.,
As a final step, each shingle tab
is cemented to the one beneath iU.

Let's Study The Bible
WHY MUST WE PREACH THE GOSPEL?
In the next few articles we are going to discuss the items that
the scriptures teach are necessary for salvation. It would be an
Impossibility to not disagree with some doctrine. Man is teaching
everything for salvation from the idea that all will be saved
anyway, to the doctrine of predestination.
at Paul lists in Ephesians 4:4-6 as being
If there is only one faith acceptable with
Among the things that Paul lists in
singular, is one faith. If there is ——r------ -- —
God we need to examine the scriptures carefully to find this
* - ... ■ t a a . t ! _ 11 1 I I T Ink m 1 nrk/tn iwi
right faith. John had this idea in mind in I John 4:1 when he
warned, “Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits
whether they, are of God: because many false prophets are
gone out into the world." But some might say but my preacher
is sincere and honest and would not intentionally lead me
astray. I am equally sure that there are many honest people that
teach vaflous doctrines. But notice Christ’s statement concern-
ing some that were worshiping God in vain because they were
teaching the commandments of men for commandments of God.
He calls them blind leaders of the blind and says that they
will both fall in the ditch (Matthew 15:14).
They were honest min, but mistaken men and the end oi them
is just as bad as that of the dishonest men. In the interest of our
soul’s salvation, let us study carefully the gosr>el as It is referred
to as God’s power unto salvation. If we differ and God recog-
nizes only one faith, we should have the interost4n each others
souls to examine our beliefs wjth the teachings of the Bible.
As Christians, we have to declare the whole gospel or we will
be guilty of the blood of men that will be lost because of our
oversight. The Only way that we will be free Is to declare all
the counsel of God (Acts 20:26, 27).
Again we wish to invite your questions or comments concerning
our studies of the scriptures. They will bg answered in this
article or I will be glad to discuss scriptural Items in your home
or in mine. As always, a warm welcome is extended to all tp
attend our services. There you will find a scriptural reasqn given
for all activities. - - ' - . '
