UNFINISHED BUSINESS
Another year has begun. It can
be a year of hope, promise and
fruition if we make it so.
Much good was acocmplish
ed in 1960, many things were
attempted, many new areas
were covered. Way* and mean*
were discovered and used
which formerly were strange
to us. Possibly the most worth

was the awakening of our peo
ple in this community, th*
great awakening to the fact
that God helps those who help
themselves.
1960 was the yecr when the min

it had a duty to help prepare its
people for a fuller life on earth as
well as to help them get reedy to
enjoy the glories of heaven.
