O. I. Hinson, Pastor.
A good many new people have
moved into the community recently.
Have you invited them out to Sunday
school and church? Sometimes new
people are shy and wait for an invi
tation. They forget the invitation is
"whosoever will may come. Have a
good fire in the church if it is cold,
and do not be afraid of a little enthu
siasm. The Lord was full of enthu
siasm and He warmed up every
crowd into which he went, by either
making somebody glad or else mad.
It will do you good to get there on
time ,and have some system in your
work.
Make Februaary a better month in
your work than January. Do not stay
away because the church is not per
fect. How lonesome you would feel
in a perfect church.
Do not stay away because you are
cereless .“Don’t care,” fills hell, but
gets nobody out .

gies and wagons—yes, wagons, ar
well as cars and Fords going tc
