(Expositor Photo) Ah...the good old ,days, When a loafof bread cost a nickel and 'the price of a gallon of gas was a quarter. Or, before that, when the only fuel your conveyance needed was hay. When a .farm yielded enough vegetables, fruit, eggs, milk and meat to feed the family for a whole year. When non-perishables could be bought on your 'doorstep from a grocery truck, and milk and bread were delivered in ,the same way.,, When neither rain nor hail nor snow kept the mailman from making his rounds. The mailmen were the only pries who thought those weren't the good old days.

When a barn raising bee erected a building in one day and the crew devouied twenty pounds of meat, potatoes and vegetables and dozens of homemade pies and Cakes. Ah...the -good old days, when students didn't, have to worry about the batteries in their calculators gOing dead. When imagin- ations thought of more • ways for people to entertain themselves than kwitching on a TV set." And when you didn't have to worry about being a "partner in crime" if-you left the keys in your car or if you went on a vacation without leaving .some lights on in your house. Of course, I'm not old enough to remember all those "good" old days„". but I've heard people talk abput them. Some folks even say they'd like to go, back to those days. • The list of memories grows, and other people recall different aspects. Ah...the good old days, when the bathroom [by Mabel Turnbull) On.

He. read 'each of these and enlarged on' them. . David who wrote • the PslarriS Was explaining how he depended on the word of God in all things. He read the verses mentioned in which David tells of his Faith in God's word. e.g. Vs. 23 "1 meditate On The Statutes; Vs. '48 "My hands also will lift up to Thy commandments." Each verse strengthens David's faith in God's wok!. Duct - Mrs. Sicmon and Mrs. Rapson "Take time to be Holy"; Hymn "Amazing Grace"; Prayer. • The scivicce closed with a light lunch and social ,time.
