e Enjoy Life: Begin each day
with a.kind' thought, and a
word of prase. Do something
to help another. Take satisfac-
tion in the goodness and kind-
ness you see . in the people
about you. Observe the die
beauties at nature. Love the
flowers, and listen to the birds.
Look up at the (tars. You can
be happy if you will. You will
do more and better work, you
will mean more to your friends,
you will have more influence,
if you maintain a cheerful at-
titude. Happinesi is not a mat-
ter cf wealth or station; it is a
matter of temperament and
will-- ■ To be happy doe* not
mean to be sell satisfied, or in-
different to poverty, but it does
mean that you can rise above
circumstances, that you can
have a part in creating the at-
mosphere in which your life
shall be lived. Begin today
with a kind thought.—Sun-
shine Magazine.

• With the operation of the
canning plant in this city there
is a ready cash market for
sweet potatoes and peas, also
ripe tomatoes. This industry is
one of Timpson’s most valua-
ble assets and it provides a
market for truck crops grown
not only in this immediate
area, but for crops gi
throughout a wide section of
East Texas. East Texans can
be assured if they grow pota-
toes, peas and tomatoes .they
will have a market for all they
can produce.
• Welcome Home, Korean
Veterans! You did a great job

Back to God Program
Inspirational
The Back To God Program
sponsored by the local Ameri-
can Legion Post Sunday,
March 8 was Christ inspired
and many received spiritual
blessings according to state-
ments by many of the approxi-
mate 220 in attendance.
The choir and special num-
bers attested to the dominant
atmosphere and feeling of
love for God and country.
The message was delivered
by Rev. Bobby Kristensen, a
local boy and recent Korean
returnee, was a spiritual mas-
terpiece in the words of many.
Rev. Kristensen developed
the Back To God theme around
the following scripture: ‘
“0 Israel, return unto the
Lord thy God; for thou hast
fallen by thine iniquity. (Hoeea
14:!).... for the ways of the
Lord are right and the just
shall walk la them; but the
transgressors sha^l fall there-
in.” (Hosea 14:8). \
Rev. Kristensen told his at-
tentive audience that the
world has become over-ma-
terialistic as did the Israelites,
and have drifted away from
God. He impressively council-
ed that there is no substitute
for the Cross and that this is
the only way by which the in-
dividual and the world, may
find, everlasting Peace.
“Today many people appeal
to others, ’Oh please come to
church for the church neods
you so.’ This appeal is er-
roneous. We need not worry
about the church standing for
the church is Christ’s own
wife as the result of a heaven-
ly marriage—it will stand
triumphant and belongs not to
any group of people or indivi-
duals but Christ alone. The
church does'not need you os
much,ag you need Christ and
His church!”
AH present were urged to
seek Christ and His way, to at-
tend regular public worship,
have daily family prayer, and
educate the children of our
nation along the principles of
Christ’s great life and teach-
ings.
The local American Legion
Post expresses deep apprecia-
tion to all those so faithful in
making this program possible,
and sincerely hopes that ev-
eryone will be moving closer to
God, to the end that our nation
can say to the prophet
Hosea—we are close to God;
—in our individual livee,
homes, community, state and
nation.
