No. 227 Fire Damages Frame House In Stonewall A fire thai apparently started in a bedroom Monday afternoon swept through the interior of a small frame house in the Stonewall district.

(Revelation 21:5) Someone asked Henry Wadsworth Longfellow why apple trees seem to' have more beautiful blossoms each spring than they had the year before. Longfellow is reported to have said: "The apple tree grows a little new wood each year. Therefore its blossoms are more beautiful with the coming of each springtime." TPfe beginning of the new year is a good time to take stock ?? and to resolve to grow some new wood spiritually. We do this by Bible study, prayer, and corporate worship. We do it through rededication of our time, talents, and resources to the enrichment of Cod's kingdom. Mark's Gospel reminds us that Jesus went out to a solitary place early in the mornings just to be alone with God. Thus His own faith was renewed and His sense of direction made clear. The continuing sense of divine direction we need comes as we take time for the leading of the Holy Spirit. It means waiting upon the Lord. It means being open to God's revelation through Jesus Otrist. PRAYER Our Father, strengthen us by Your presence that we may face the new year with faith and courage. Amen.
