MOTHERS DESTINATION
AND OUR HOPE
Not so very long ago the Lord
called my mother home.
I can see her setting by his side
as I write this little poem.
She was the sweetest Mother
that anyone ever had.
The day she went to Heaven, it
hurt us all so bad,
But I am glad I know my Saviour
for he sets my heart at ease,
To know she went to Heaven and
she’s found that perfect peace.
I’m so glad today that I cansay
that Gods word is%true,
He’s promised us the same sweet
home—its up to me and you.
So when we make our decision,
I hope we’ll make it well.
You see my friends its up to you
—will it be Heaven, or will it
be Hell?
The Lord has promised everyone
their loved ones they shall see,
If they will take God at his word
and hear His Humble plea.
So if you have not come to God,
we must do so today.
Take my advice and do not wait
—get down upon your knees
and PRAY.
We do not know when our time
will come—so lets not wait too
long.
Prepare yourself for that glad
day when we join that happy
throng,
If I do Gods will down here be-
low, in Worship, Prayer, and
Song,
I am going to see my mother,
“Dear Friends” won’t you
come along?
In loving Memory of Our
MOTHER Mrs. H. J. Minro, Sr.

Farm equipment that leads a sheltered life lasts longer and
costs less. '
Farmer Ekkie Poben knows that. Farmer Poben, Beatrice,!
Nebraska, is pictured above getting set to drive his tractor out
between the large sliding doors of bis 28 by 100-foot Quonset rigid-
frame machinery storage building. And he knows that when he drives
the tractor back into the building,. he can leave it there without
worrying about it. '
It is protected against weather-wear by steel.
How much does good storage save on equipment costs? A recent
study made at Kansas State College shows.that the average life of
farm machinery is increased 10 percent by good storage. It also
shows that annual repair bills can be cut up to 40 percent by good
storage. That’s why steei shelter for. farm machinery is a good,
investment. - !
Complete as it is, the study does not show how much is saved by
fires which do not happen in steel building storage. And remember,
it only takes one fire to reduce the equipment to a total loss.
