Louisburg Baptist Church In some old monasteries there used to be a law that Thanksgiv ing should never cease.

With out the pressure of external au thority. it is the will of Qod th-it our lives should be characterised by continual Thanksgiving. Thanksgiving, like any other grace, must be cultivated if It ever becomes deeply rooted In the life of the individual. The Annual Thanksgiving Day pro vides the Christian with an op portunity for the development of this grace. Therefore the members of the Louisburg Baptist Church are go ing up to their appointed place of worship on Sunday morning at eleven o'clock In order that they may blend their voices in thanks giving to God for the blessings which he has bestowed upon them during the course of another year. They extend to the public a cocdlal invitation to share, with them the Inspiration of this ser vice. On the following Thursday evening, at seven o'clock, the members of the church and con gregation are holding a Family Service, which will mark the resumption of the midweek ser vices. The special program for this occasion will feature vocal and Instrumental numbers, short talks by representatives of the church, etc. The service will be concluded by a period of fellow ship, during which light refresh ments will be served.
