H* is aanaitiv* to the need* and hurt* of other* as well a* hi* own needs. But the positive thinker ie not controlled by anger, hate, fear or wony. He may experience these feelings, but hi* actions are never directed by them. The positive thinker's actions are directed by the positive feeling of love, joy and a sense of self-confident security. Dr. Norman V. Peale SEVEN ATTRIBUTES OF THE POSITIVE THINKER The seven attributes of the posi tive thinker are belief, growth, de airs, persistence, unselfishness, emotional control and rightfulness. Dr. Norman V. Peale EMOTIONS Emotions will occur. We must expect them. We cannot avoid them. *We can talk ourselves out of a notion whan a crisis arrives, but we can’t talk ourselves out of the immediate emotion. _ . Dr. John Shindler LITTLE TREASURES With words that can encourage, and deeds that can assist, we’ll give life to little treasures that a sad heart cant resist. C J. Irvin COURAGE Courage is ah'inner resolution to go forward despite obstacles. Cow ardliness is submissive surrender to BY EVA LJPERRY ATIMK TO SHAitE At Christmas time we like to share Our gifts with those we love, But how much more we ought to Share God’s gift sent from above. Christ did not come for us alone, Or for a privileged few; Ha cam# to give His life for all That man might be made new. Tis strange how we can think so Much Of gifts, and Christmas trees, And think so little of the lost In lands across the seas. For us to squander all our store On those who have no need, And fail to share God’s Christmas Gift Is vary wrong indeed. For God so loved the world He gave So we must learn to give Our money, effort, and our prayers That dying souls might live. Since Christmas is a time to share, Let’s give ourselves anew, Hist heathen souls in lands afar May hear the gospel too. —Fred D. Jarvis Jesus is the greatest gift! It mat ters not when—where—or why. I, Eva Perry, have found that there is really “nothing to nothing but Je sus.” All good for all mankind is in our Jesus. I am so glad that the sum total need for this great Savior is universal. The Bible says that “The nations are but a drop in the bucket.” All power in Heaven and in Earth is now given unto Jesus, who said, “No man cometh unto the Fa ther but by me.” Eternal life through the blood of Jesus is the priceless gift of God to humanity. We must be always shar ing this good news in a worldwide way. Salvation has appeared to bring, us one eternal Merry Christ mas tad one eternal Happy New Year! The new life in Christ is bleaaed assurance for ever. Read your Bible prayerfully and think!!! eireumstnncaa. Courage breed* creative aelf-afflrmation, cowardice aek* the que*tion, "I* it eafe?" Van ity a*k* the queetion, MIe it popu lar?H But one mu*t take it beeauee it i* right. Martin Luther Xing, Jr. THERE'S ALWAYS fiOPE When life or circumstance* are the darkeat and bittereat and if we can look hard enough, there will be that same kind of ray of hope. Though atorma may come again, that i* hop* and faith from that mere glimpae, will never let lift be aa hard to bear again. Layman Committee PROBLEMS Some problem* are very real and can't be changed. What can be changed ia our attitudes. Try giving the problem another name. Oall it a condition, a circumatance or a chal lenge. Doug Hooper SELF-CONCEPT In many Instance* thoee who eeem unfriendly or difficult to work with have a negative self-concept. Gillian K, Holahauaer CHOICE There ore always two choice* be fore ua, in every circumstance, in every relationship. We cam affirm the negative or we can affirm the positive. Our choice determine* the tenor of our lives. John Nash CHEERFUL Cheerfulness is a gift which is to be nourished and cultivated until it becomes a habitual expression of our feeling. A cheerful attitude gen erates a feeling of pleasure and contentment. It is a catalyst that transforms doubt into faith, anxiety into hope and encouragement. A cheerful attitude has magnetic power. Jean Grover. FAILURE Failure begins in your life and thoughts when you hold the idea that you are actually incapable, that you are a born loser. So to counteract failure, develop the ability to be lieve. Just be a believer because winners always are. Losers are never real believers. Belief power gets powerful results. Norman V. Peal* POSITIVE RESPONSES Value yourself, you will in turn value others. Value yourself and your life very highly. We project our own feelings on other persons, so we must choose positive responses in stead of negative ones. Dr. Robert Schuller DON’T QUIT Don’t give up though the pace seems slow. You may succeed with another blow. Success is failure turned inside out. The silver tint of the cloud of doubt. And you never can tell how close you are. Sahesian Society, Inc. CHOICES As we go about our daily activities and make the little choices we have to make, we shall find our confi dence growing. When we have large decisionstomake, whichcanchange ' the course of our lives or the lives of others, we are ready for them. Grace Easley 11JH.A3 Ideas are like beards: Men do not have them until they grow up. Anonymous INFLUENCE Do a deed of simple kindness. Though its end you may not see. It may reach like widening ripples down a long eternity. Saleaian Society, Inc. POSITIVE THOUGHTS Happiness is simply giving of | yourself to others. Shirley Ryan A tender word will lessen stress, a 1 loving word will heal and bleas. Blanch Sanders * Lost Tax Forms Can Be Replaced Copies of federal income tax re turns from prior years not only serve as good financial records, but also can be a guide for filling out future returns as well. Previous years' returns are especially helpful when financial situations stay al most the same from one year to the next. Also, copies of prior year tax returns can be very useful if a change or amendment has to be made to previously filed returns, or if later there are questions about the returns. If prior year tax -returns are lost or destroyed, copies can be re quested from the IRS by completing Form 4506. “Request for Copy of Tax Form." and mailing it to the service center where you sent the return. There is a charge of $4.23 for each year’s return. Group Twelve Meets, Scripture & Prayers Highlights Group No. 13 or lint Baptist Church had ita monthly mootinf Thursday, Jan. 13, in tho lower level of the church. Tho opening hymn was *Vi#st Bo tho Tio That Binds," followed by scripture and prayer by the loader. The background scrip* ture for the four lessons was Ecclesi as too Sill, Isaiah lil-l, Matthew 5il4-ll and Matthew 11)13-30. Lesson I, "Winning the flams," was read by Ms. Mosella Burnett. Ilian must help each other to remiss that the only way to achieve their goal is to be firmly based in Ood’s will. Wo will win tho game when ws please Ood. We will have peace, contentment, inner strength and a source on which we can de pend. Leecon 11, "Take the Time,” waa read by Me. Louies H. Shaw. We must use our time wisely so that ws will have time for Ood and our fern ily. When wohavoanlaxingconver sation it will afford us time to build trust, to confess our fhults and to know family members in a different light. We need to take time for soul winning. Lesson 111, "Our Christian Ex ample," was read by Me. Elisabeth Bowman. Wo must be an example in our daily livingin order for us tolead others to Christ We must set an example in our home by use of a prayer altar and time for medita tion. Family members should be able to say that they know we are Christians and they respect us. Lesson IV, "Family Ministries: A Joint Effort” was read by Ms. Lu cille G. Paige. Christ is ready to help us in all that we do. Have the family to recall incidents in your life where the Lord came through for you.

Ms. Mosella Burnett gave the treasurer’s report. Me. Plaigs thanked the members for their presence and cooperation in the preparation of dinner for the family of Ms. Celia Sanders.

Matjarla Phillip* read the minute* and M*. Blade received the report* from tha group*. Ma. Paula Footer gave the pro gram. Her maaaaga waa “Ruth—A r. . Good Role Model for the Virtuous Women," Ms. Foster mentioned that we have focused on role models for the male youth, and have not talked much about the role models for female youth,^ In the home, mothers are failing to be role models for their daugh ters. This will lead their daughters to seek other channels for role mod els which may lead to their destruc tion. Mothers are employed outside of the home and leave the rearing to their children. The female has in the past held the family together. The female inmates are increasing. What can we do to turn this around? We must turn to the Bible and find our role models. All of our spiritual values come from the Bible. Ruth is one of our best role models because she is an example of loyalty, commitment, love, compassion, faith and hope. We would not have the problems that we have today if more people were like Ruth. Members of Group 12 present were Ms. Elisabeth Bowman, Ms. Carolyn Beckwith, Ms. Mozella Burnett, Ms. Louise H. Shaw and Ms. Ludlle Griswold Paige. Now You Don't Hove To Spend Port Of YourCheck lb Cash tour Check.

LOCK, PASTOR Sunday School Lesson r SONG OF THE VINEYARD Isaiah 5:1-7 The prophet Isaiah em ployed a brief but tender love Sony to briny God’s message to the people of Judah. The word “wellbeloved,” in He brew a term of special en (dearment, set the tone for the Sony’s brief account of a farmer lavishing care on his vineyard. The farmer chose a fertile spot, cleared away the many stones covering the ground, fenced in the area, planted the finest quality vines, and constructed a tower where watchmen could guard the vineyard. Fully expecting a good harvest, the farmer even chiseled a stone vat out of the mountain ledge to hold the juice pressed from the grapes. God’s love for His people is illustrated by the farmer’s patient care for his vineyard. Patience marked the Lord’s actions toward the Israelites. God delivered His people from slavery in Egypt. He gave them His law at Sinai and provided them with food in the wilderness. He led them into a land flowing with milk and honey, driving their enemies out before them. He molded them into a nation and provided them with prophets, priests, and kings. He patiently planted, culti vated, protected and loved them. Pray For Peace!
