THE CLOTHMAKER
The Grass Is A
on the O
All of us at some time 01
another have probably allowed
ourselves to become
dissatisfied with the things
we have so that we tend to
look longingly toward what
we think are greener pastures
elsewhere. Many a person
has permitted this thinking
to cause him to give up a
good situation for one which
turned out to be not nearly so
good as the one he left. The
ciriiter never stays in any one
place long enough to get
ahead and so spends his days
moving about looking for
something better, which all
too often never materializes.
The happiest people are probably
those who have learned
that no position is always free
of difficulties, that no situation
is going to be without
problems all the time.
Ambition and the desire to
better oneself are prime virtues,
but it is also wise to remember
sometimes to count
the blessings we have and to
remind ourselves that loyalty
and perseverance are also
prime virtues and that they
generally hold the key to ultimate
success and happiness
in life
QUALITY -A Den

run
When a prospective customer
"shops around" to
make a purchase, he has two
main thoughts foremost in
mind. First, how good is it?
Secondly, what is the price?
This works both ways, in the
cloth we sell as well as in the
II1111 IclW IlllUt'I litis
we buy. The formula for a
good live and growing business
today could well be
Quality Price equals Sales.

When we shop for a dress,

look around for quality at the
right price. As we have said
before, our customers are no
different. Be sure with quality.
It has a place of highest
importance in our way of life.

Why Worsh
We have heard some say
that they didn't want to attend
church because: those
who did go did some things
which weren't right ? they
didn't like the minister?the
church wanted too much
money?that people could be
Christians without going to
church ? and many others.
Why then should we worship
in churches?
The answer is as old as the
story of man. It dates back to
those who followed Jesus until
the going began to get
tough or began to cost. It is
clearly a question which is
answered in our Bible by the
one sentence, "Where your
treasure is, there your heart
is also". Sure the church is
full of people who are not
perfect. That is why they go,
to try to learn how to live a
better life and to gain
strength to help them. Too,
our ministers are human beings
Thpv ran't nloaco -
0- - - vv?*? v CVC1 one
but on the other hana,
they are not the whole church
and liking them is not all the
reward of attending services.
And too. our churches must
be supported. This means
someone must pay to see that
obligations are met. If we
check ourselves closely, we
may find that it's almost a
miracle where all the money
comes from, judging by the
way we feel toward our obligations
to these great institutions.
The church is our greatest
hope in a world filled with
every kind of sin and things
to destroy. Deep down we
L-aii i ever Deneve that a human
being with the smallest
bit of intelligence can ever let
a flimsy excuse keep him
away from the house of God.
It is our salvation and hope
down through the years that
are filled with darkness and
fear. Its doors stand open so
that all can come in?sinners
and Christians alike ? both

spark to help them live a
better life and to gain a
