ROBERT H HARPER f /mm mad tbt Right Us* of Property*' Lmsama for September t: Exodus 29:15; Proverbs 10:7-9; Matthew 6:25-11. Memory Selection: Matthew 6:- 20-21. Oar lemon beglna with the law of honesty—a stable society cannot be without the safeguarding of a man’s property. *Qlve me neither poverty nor tithes (Proverbs)'* Is a wise petition. Its answer will give a man enough for his dally needs and save him from the corroding jLL *ence of wealth. Consider the Lord's attitude to ward the use of property. Industry Is right, but trust God for success. Tb strengthen our trust. Jesus bids os think of the winged creatures of the air and the plants of the field. The birds neither sow nor reap, but God feeds them. The Ullies are deck ed more richly than solomon In all his purple and golden splendor. And God will much more clothe you. O ye of little faith. The very hairs of your heads are an numbered and God will not give you a stone when you ask for bread. TVust him for yoip daily needs and. receiving, so Use the things given you that, when they fail, you may be re ceived Into "everlasting habitations." Jesus would give us the right per- * spectlve of life. As in a good picture, the chief things should stand out in the foreground. We are bidden to put first things first In our scheme of life. Seek first the kingdom of God and needful things will be giv en you. ~ • .... -xr- PERON'S AMBASSADOR ... Dr. Oscar Ivantasenvich with his wife ■ff** daughter.

Just as in canning, dry- • teg foils to Improve the quality of the food so be very careful in the selection of year products.
