in combined length and girth
are accepted at this low rate,
i 2. Larger parcels (up to 30
pounds with the same length
and girth limitations) can be
sent as “PAL” ('Parcel Air
lift) mail, provided they are
mailed by November 27. The
charge is only $1 per parcel,
plus the regular domestic par
cel post postage much less
than charges that would ap
ply later if straight airmail
service must be provided.
3. For all packaging, in
vest in good quality sturdy
wrapping materials. This
' small investment can help in
i sure undamaged delivery of
valuable- gifts and prevent i
delays which might result if
rewrapping were required in
transit.
4. Insure parcels realistic
ally to cover full value but
do not over-insure. A $lO
gift, for example, can bring
only $lO compensation, if lost,
even if “insured” for SIOO.
5. Get plenty of stamps on
your first trip to the post of
fice to avoid the time and ex
pense of additional trips.
9. 'Use ZIP Code as a tool
for economy in mailing. When
it is used consistently on par
cels and cards, ZIP Code
helps prevent errors in de
livery and expedites handling.
If only a few Christmas cards
go astray, an investment of
several dollars may be lost,
for example.
“The key to efficient Christ
mas mailing,” Bond comment
ed, “is to mail early and care
fully. Clear addressing with
the ZIP Codes, proper packag
ing and early depositing can
prevent most problems and
provide the greatest value for
money spent for postage.”

Make Going To Church A Habit
MY RELATION TO OTHER CHRISTIANS
International Sunday School Lesson for Nov. 1
Memory Selection: “Ye are no more strangers
and foreigners, but fellow-citizens with the saints
and of the household of God."—Ephesians 2:19.
Lesson Text: Acts 2:44-47; Galatians 6:1-10;
Ephesians 2:19-22; Colossians 3:12-17; I John 1.
The pertinent point of our lesson today is the
Christian relationship between other Christians,
and (more importantly) between those who are
not of the faith. For it will be remembered that
Christ and His disciples did not confine them
selves to the circle of confirmed believers—they
were in constant contact with non-believers, dili
gently converting and baptizing.
In the light of their actions, it behooves every
one of us to stop and examine our effectiveness
as Christians. Are we restricting our acts of
fellowship to a small and select band of our
peers?—our personal acquaintances and friends—
our-own Church? If so, we are lazy Christians;
we are not the witnesses Christ intended us to
be; we are not good stewards of His offices.
Singularly confines and restricts are mature
growth in our spiritual life. It denies us a
sense of personal enrichment
The essentials for an ever-growing Christian
fellowship are many and varied. It must em
body the “positives” of encouragement of con
solidation, of counseling. These, in turn, are
translated into learning and active service. How
much we have to gain! How much we have to
give!
An apt example is the fact that, in the early
days of Christianity, it was considered primar
ily, to be for the Jewish nation—God’s chosen
people. However, as its concepts became known
abroad, the Gentiles came willingly into the
fold. Nations other than Israel were no longer
“strangers,” but active participants in this won
derful opportunity. The Church became ONE
BODY IN CHRIST. Idealistically, it remains so
today.
Early Christians were ardent Christians; they
shared what they had with their less fortunate
brothers. They willingly sold their personal pos
sessions and gave to the poor. They held fre
quent meetings (from which sprang the Church
as we know it today) and these meetings were
often held in secret, under the threat of perse
cution, and even death. They were zealots.
The doctrine of Christianity impel such shar
ing of riches and knowledge, and the under
standing and compassion exhibited by Christ in
His dealings with His fellow men. He bore the
burden of mankind’s collective sinning, and He
gave up His life on the cross that mankind
might be redeemed from those sins.
Dare we, in the light of this supreme sacrifice,
do less than gladly offer love and concern to our
contemporaries today?
We are constrained to follow Christ’s example;
we have the responsibility of shouldering our
..own burdens bravely —but we have also the
added responsibility of .shouldering those of our
weaker brethren, in His name.
