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. This is
the fourth year of the
program and more thari
250,000 students have been
certified.

of Baal just WHO God is.
God is a consuming fire!
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.

Last Saturday night was a
gala occasion as the musical
group known as “The
Volunteers” celebrated the
birthday Os three of its
members by inviting their
friends to a dance at the
American Legion. It was
their party they provided
everything! The food tabid
was beautiful! It contained
a fruit bowl, fancy sand
wiches of all kinds, shrimp
salad, two large cheese
balls, a variety of crackers,
sausage balls, sweet & sour
weiners, salami and party
rye bread, etc. Everything
was delicious! On each table
was a container of dry
roasted peanuts which was
constantly refilled. Ice, soft
drinks and hot coffee were
also furnished!
“The Volunteers” played
musical numbers to suit
every taste even a “Paul
Jones” and “clogging”!
Many thanks for a fine
evening of good music,
fellowship, dining and
dancing. It was a special
pleasure to be your guest.

this delightful band for any
occasion may contact Mr.
Don Madry at 221-4469.
