BUY AND KISS AT HOME
There is a good st«f of a man who
found himself bankrupt and came to
break the news to his better half. She
did not seem so wonderfully depress-
ed as he had expected, and asked him
to go to a certain bank where she
opened a safe deposit box, and showed
him a great stack of bills, sufficient
to put him back on his feet. "Whose
is this?” asked the man. “It is ours,”
replied the wife. As his wonderment
increased, he asked where she got
it and how she saved so much.
"You remember when we were mar-
ried you promised me one dollar for
every kiss. You always kept your
word. I saved the money and this is
the result.”
In his astonishment the man ex-
claimed, "I wish I had done aU my
kissing at home.”
The above is a fine Ulustration of
trading at home. Every dollar yow
spend in your home town remains
there and helps the town. Every dol-
lar you spend out of yoor home town
makes the community that much
poorer.
Do your buying—and your kissing
—at home and the money will be as
bread cast on the waters. When most
needed it will be there to help you.—

-BAPTIST CHURCH
There will be no service at the
Baptist Church Sunday morning but
we will meet at 9:45 a. m. for the
Sunday School in order to get through
s little early and all go to the High
School Auditorium for the Baccalaur-
eate address.
But we are giving a special service
for the Seniors and also the Juniors
Sunday evening at 8 p. m. We es-
pecially invite everyone of these two
classes to be present and of course
everyone is welcome to come.
Mr. Frank B. Bridges of Baylor
University will be with us to tell us
about our college athletics and we
have also invited Mrs. J. M. Dawson
of the First Baptist church of Waco
to speak to the classes along the line
of education. And we have invited a
young woman of Baylor-Belton to
tell of the work there.
We feel that this is to be a service
that will mean much to the people of
Clifton, in fact, to all that will come
and get in touch with the Spirit of
these great Institutions.
If you want your son or daughter
to go on to school we feel that this
will be giving them a chance to know
about these good schools and know
what they have to offer.
Sunday School at 9:45.
Junior B. Y. P. U. at 2:00 p. m.
Sunbeam at 4:00 p. m.
Senior B. Y. B. U. at 7:00 p. m.
Be sure to come to the evening ser-
vice and help make this a profitable
hour for everyone.
C. F. Brown, Pastor
CHURCH OF CHRIST
Sunday School begins promptly at
10 a. m. Let everyone be on time.
We want to get through in time for
Commencement Sermon at high schoo'
auditorium at 11:00 a. m.
Preaching at 8 p. m. Our interest
is still increasing. New faces at ev-
ery service. But still there are some
members who do not come. We are
still praying and hoping that you will.
Of course, the church can get a long
without you, but can you go very far
without the church? Jesus is the
savior of the body, which is his church
A man that puts his hands to the plow
and then looks back is not fit for the
kingdom of God. 1 say unto all,
watch.
