Mister? Well, little matter. You can always get more at some iervice station. The same goes if unexpected guests drop in at home. You can buy bread, meat, or eggs at a nearby store ... or you can borrow from a neighbor. But this is not possible when a serious emergency strikes. You have to be prepared beforehand. You can’t buy strength of spirit. Nor can you borrow it. It grows within you, little at a time. So be prepared when disappointment, discouragement, trouble, or grief strike. Through worship at Church fortify yourself with faith and courage. Get acquainted with God’s love and wisdom. Come what may, you’ll be ready for any emergency. ^fWWGH FOR Al r CHURCH Th* Church i.
