SPECIAL SERVICE IN
HONOR OF STU0ENTS
GOING AWAY TO SCHOOL
(By B. A. Watson, Pastor
Methodist Church)
Next Sunday is an important
day in the lives of most of us.
Our boys and girls start back
to school. In just a few days
later our young people will be
going back to college and uni-
versity. Some are attending
college for the 'first time; oth-
ers are continuing their train-
ing.,
A university environment is
different even though the
church through its leaders tries
to make it as homelike as pos-
sible. The instruction is su-
perior, the requirements are
higher, leading the students to
understand the national, state
and world governments under
which we live. There is con-
stant training in leadership,
character, tolerance, clean
living, physical drill and de-
v lopment to develop our
youth to take their places of
leadership tomorrow.
Next Sunday we are honor-
ing our young people who are
going away to college. We
urge them to be present for
this service.
As we honor these we are
mindful of our boys and girls
who enter public school Mon-
day morning. It is our wish
and hope that they will enjoy
the best school year possible.
Then, too, we would honor
our church school pupils. Many
of our pupils have been absent
during the summer months for
one cause or another. We urge
all parents to be in their places
next Sunday morning. The
church needs you and certain-
ly you need the church. We
are praying for an increased
attendance in church school
'next Sunday morning. Our
I prayer will be answered if ev-
'ery member of the Methodist
! church will resolve to be pres-
' ent for the church school and
worship services.
1 In Matthew the 18th chap-
iter are these words of Jesus:
“See that you do not despise
one of these little ones; for I
tell you that in heaven their
angels always behold the face
of my Father who is in heaven.
What do you think? If a man
has a hundred sheep, and one
of them has gone astray, does
he not leave the ninety-nine on
the hills and go in search of
the one that went astray? And
if he finds it, truly, I say to
you, he rejoices over it more
than over the ninety-nine that
