I The Church..For a Fuller life..For You JBtoiris aneC yfppU fares THE CHURCH FOR ALL . . . ALL FOR THE CHURCH The Church is the greatest factor on earth for the building of character and good citizen ship. It is a storehouse of spiritual values. Without a strong Church, neither democ racy nor civilization can sur vive. There are four sound reasons why every person should attend services regu larly and support the Church. They are: (1) For his own sake. (2) For his children’s sake. (3) For the sake of his community and nation. (4) For the sake of the Church itself, which needs his moral and material support.

Many an hour is spent on the back lawn with watercolors and pad, mostly thinking or dreaming. Boundless curiosity is his, and "why," a cer tain response to every answer he receives. Be sides painting, he likes to hunt, swim, golf, read, and putter in the basement with test tubes.- Only recently, girls have been included with rifles and missile shots as a favored topic of conversation. He talks about God, too. In his pursuit of answers to the universe, he instigates family discussions that range from ethics to eternity, from atoms to apple cores. It’s small wonder that I thank God daily for His Church and its teachings. Its truths help me answer with assurance the questions Mark asks in his search for understanding. : Sunday Psalms 77:3-15 Monday Proverbs 4:10-19 Tuesday Proverbs 4:20-27 Wednesday Isaiah 32:9-20 Thursday Johr John 5:37-47 Friday Hebrews 6:9-20 Saturday Hebrews 10:19-25 + <332? +
