Nor have I looked up at the Leaning Tower of Pisa, or out across the broad Sahara to the Pyramids and the Sphinx. Most of my life, as a matter of fact, has been spent right here in my own town. Not because I don’t want to travel. To visit these faraway places is one of my big desires—and, one day, I hope to do it. , But I know, deep in my heart, that if I never leave my home town I’ll have more to do than I can hope to accomplish. Because God is just as much here as he is anywhere. Our minister used that thought in his sermon last Sunday, and he told us how much there is for all of us to do in our own particular place—and how much remains undone I If we’d bring just one other person to church with us M Sunday, we'd really be doing something, be told M.

ALL FOR THE CHURCH TH« Church n the gregleit factor on *arth for the building of character and good citizenthip. It it a Morehouse of tpintual valutt. Without a strong Church, neither democracy nor civilitation can survive. There are four sound reasons why every person should attend services regularly and support the Church. They are; (I) For his own take. (2) For hi| children's sake. (3) For the sake of his community and nation. (4) For the sake •f the Church itself, which needs his moral and material support.
