By Maggie B. Happiness Is Birth days! Another oppor tunity to thank God for His mercy and grace that we are able to celebrate the beginning of a New Year of our lives! And, what a joy it Happiness can’t be defined... It’s a certain mood, a state of mind, It’s sharing everyday affairs With one who understands and cares, It’s a tender lode or a gentle touch That says, “I love you very much”. ' It’s a smile of comfort when you’re blue, A hope that’s shared, a dream for two— And happiness is more than this, It’s a warm embrace and a gentle kiss, It’s a special blessing from above— It’s what you have when you’re in LOVE! Daylight Savings Time is here again! On this first Sunday morning of the new time, we were pleasantly surprised to see so many assembled for Sunday School at Bandon Chapel. Asst. Supt. Wiley Hardison beamed with enthusiasm as he joyfully welcomed each and every one and presented a report of conclusions reached at a meeting of Sunday School officials. A goal has beat set to increase attendance of both children and adults by at least fifty per cent. A Lending Library will be established at Bandon so that folk will be able to check out Christian books they desire to read. Prayer List: In my opinion, prayer is the most the state this year.

God has promised that He will never again destroy the aarth by water but —by fire everything will be destroyed. It will be so hot that the elements will burn! Unfortunately, that will also be the destiny of many people unless they wake up. Get away from the devil. The Bible says that if you ion’t resist him, be will drag you down and instead of .going to Heaven, you will go to Hell. Hell is hot! You will suffer the heat but will not burn up, but suffer through eternity. Fire can be destructive or a Messing. God gives you a chance to chosse whether fire will be a friend or foe. Choose God. Let the fire of the Lord consume you be on fire with enthusiasm for those things that belong to the Lord. Let me suggest four ways to “Get on fire” for the Lord. 1) Seek the Lord with all thy heart. Read the Bible let the Word of the Lord seep into your entire being and you will be convinced there is no other way; 2) Really want Him. God will bring you to the (dace where you will be “on fire” for Him; 3) Get rid of our “short circuits”. They throw water on our testimony. If you don’t know what they are, ask somebody. Get all circuits free so the current can flow ; and 4) Let’s pray for it. Important: Annual Property Owners Meeting will be Saturday at 1:00 P.M. in the Arrowhead Beach Club House.
