which are in Christ Jesus, who

In His Sermon, Rev. Brewster
spoke on God's Love. We need to
put our minds on God and accept
what He has for us. If not we are
rejecting His Love. However, if
we do reject this Love, it is His
Love that draws us back to God.
When the Jews rejected God's
Love, God directed it to the
Gentiles so now we have the
chance to either accept or reject,
We should learn a lesson from
this,

foot wonder named Eddie
Cummings. He is a delight
wherever he goes.
Be at war with your vices, at
peace with your neighbors and let
every new year find you a better
person. - Benjamin Franklin

Hi, folks here's a bulletin for
you. District A commander,
Comrade Roger Holmes has
declared the week of September
14 to 21 as Legion week
throughout the district and has
requested each branch come up
with a program in observance.
The executive of branch 540
have been busy working on a
tenative program and will be
making an announcement very
shortly on what you may expect,
Just remember September 14-
21 and keep a couple of nights
open to come on over to the
Legion.
Remember to keep Saturday,
September 20 open because the
• Peoples Choice will be at branch
540 for your dancing pleasure.
This is a very popular group and
well known to the regulars
around 540.
Your Ways and Means
chairman and his committee do
all they can to supply the
members and friends of Legion
with an evening of fun and en-
tertainment. All they request of
you is to participate.
Believe it or not - it once took
two bales of cotton to make a
woman's dress. Now a sick silk-
worm can do it on his day off.
(Who's complaining.)
and that's 30 for this week.
Remember - tolerance is the
ability to be kind to dumb
animals; more especially when
they are human beings.
