Doing Good
CHRISTIAN fellowship, in the last
J analysis, u doing good. ' "He
that doetb good is of God," say a
John, and' we know that it Is true.
Intermediate boys and girls can
-seize ; upon numerous methods of
proving their Christian attitude as
we come on toward the Christmas
season. Discuss with your teacher
next Sunday the idea of providing I
uiruranas guts for i underprivileged
boys and girls of your age. If not
in your community, somewhere.!
' While: la Eurepe tart summer,
I was Impressed with the fact
that there will !be' . verv Uttto
Christmas for the yeung people la
many , of these lands this year.
War baa left Ite frightening deso
lation. ; The people are without
money and 1 withont homes and
without clothing and withont food.
May I suggest that you discuss
plana by which you may send pack
ages through CARS to some lonely,
needy neighbor - in Europe this
Christmas, thus proving your sense
of Christian fellowship. ,

; no divisions among you; but that ye
. be perfectly joined together in the

: ment," I Corinthians 1O0.
" " And these words from III John,
aecond verse:
"Beloved, I wish above all things
that thou mayest prosper and be
In health, even as thy soul pros-
pereth." -
Here we have the basis for Chrls-
tlan fellowship.
Let Us Love One Another
WTHAT Is the first test of Chrls-
tian fellowship?. Read I John
Love one for another is the flrat
and last test of Christian fellow-
- ship. Of course, love one for an
ether la dependent upon love to-
- ward God. We do not really love
one another until we first love
' , God. And we do not love God until
we realise that he first loves ns.
Why do . we keep certain lettersT
Because they are from those who
love us, and whom we love.. Boys
and girls can help to make this a
better world if they will express
their love one for another in letters.

Gracious Words
IN ECCLESIASTES 10:12, He read:
The words of a wise mart's
mouth are gracious." -:
Christmas will soon be here. There

carefully of some lonely boy or girl
in our community who may not re

'"I thank God for your fellowship
In furtherance of the Gospel from
the first day until now," wrote Paul
to the Philippian Christians.
How did they show this fellow
ship? In many, many practical
ways, some of which Paul names.
They sent food, books, clothing.
More than that, they gave them
selves in personal visitation to lone

ing benefits to one and all citizens

acres for pulpwood, saw logs, and
other purposes, is becoming known.
.Especially is this being felt by saw
mills and veneer mills and through
out the South.
In an announcement about a cam-"
paign to get land owners to utilize
crooked and defective trees and
tops for pulpwood, fuel, fence posts,
and other needs, has been rent here

"Fully a third of your trees there
will never grow to be fit for lum
ber or veneer, and these useless
trees are daily absorbing soil space
that would grow good straight
healthy and valuable log timber,
and removal of these so-called
'wolf and weed trees is the pur
pose of this appeal there to your
land owners", the announcement
to this paper stated.
