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, Sunday morning, being the beginning of the new Sunday School sessions, will be "Bounce Back" Sunday. This means that all the members of the Sunday School are needed to bounce our attendance to an all time high". To celebrate "Bounce Back" Sun- day, two special guests from Toronto will be there. One is a 21/2 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 Gabian Stone Calcium Chloride in 100 pound bags Sand & Stone, Gravel Stone for Weeping Beds „ EARL LIPPERT TRUCKING LTD.

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.
