Anniversary Day
I wish I could remember an “Anni
versary Day.”
It must have been quite wonderful,
from all the old folks say, ^

I remember my first one (about 75
years ago, I guess). I was about five
years old (my mother had died in
March, and I guess it was the fol

Grandmother called it) with tucks
to the waistline, and a black velvet
ribbon sash, white chip hat (small
one) with black velvet ribbon and
streamers down the back—and some
lady said, “Look at that dear little
thing in second mourning.” I didn’t
know what she meant then. Aunt

SIX-INCH SERMON
By Rev. Robert H. Harper
AMOS TEACHES ABOUT
WORSHIP
Lesson for April 30: Amos 4:4;
5:4-9, 14-15, 21-24.
Memory Selection: Amos 5:24.
We learn in the lesson about the
futility of formalism. Forms and
ceremonies in religion are .good
when rightly used. Otherwise sym
bolism becomes a snare to the wor
shippers. ^
Amor-rndicated--that-the Israelites
were not worshipping but transgres
sing against God at Bethel. At that
place the attempt at worship was
made worse than formalism by the
golden calf. And the places of such
idolatry were destined to j-uin.
For their symbols. Amos bade the
people behold the stars. Beyond
those shining symbols of God’s glory
they were to see God himself turn
from their evil way, “love the good
and establish justice in the gate,’’
they could hope that Jehdvah would
be “gracious” i nto .hem.
Amos declared that, without the
thought of God and without right
living, the* worship of the people
would be despised by tne Lord. He
did not condemn forms of worship
as such. But he insisted upon the
spirit of worship and the gift of life
to God.
Let us rightly regard church at
tendance and all the “program” of
our churches. These are indispensi-
ble to church life. But we must so
use our forms that they will express
the desire of our hearts for God and
bring us to know him better. They
must be a real exercise of faith that
will be demonstrated by Christian
living.

tennis clinic here May 6.
It will be directed by Jim Leign-
ton, Presbyterian tennis coach.
Leighton will give instruction in
the fundamentals of basic strokes,
playing tactics and court strategy.
Invitations have been extended to
all state high school teams.
HOUSEHOLD HELPS
It’s a good idea to squeeze but ex
cess moisture from the corners of
heavy lace articles several times
while they’re drying to prevent them
from sagging and stretching the piece
out of shape.
Any piece of clothing which are
stained should be soaked in cold wa
iter before washing in hot water to
prevent setting any stains.
