Progress be" was expanded by

progress in life will only be as

Once again those members not
present at morning worship on
Sunday missed an excellent
sermon given by guest minister,
Rev. Cecil Jardine. He took his
topic "Don't Lose Heart!" from
II Cor. 4:2 and 16, saying that in
this day of inflationand troubled
times, in dissatisfaction and
discontentments, many people
everywhere are wondering why
these things are happening. ,
We feel discouraged because
things are not going at all the way
we want them to and we tend to
lose our way, always restless
until we find "rest" in God. Our
hope is founded on God and we
must keep in tune with Him if we
are to recover from our
discouragement.
Mr. Jardine said "Weekends
are too often "weakends"
because we have not been
renewed by coming to God's
house to hear His word". Hesaid
to Call upon God, seek Him and
do not lose heart. Next Sunday
the annual congregational
meeting will follow a pot hick
"finger" luncheon, after church,
with the business commencing at
1:15.

The next 4-H club was an-
nounced "Consider Your Clothes"
and the leaders of Clubs 2 and 3
will attend the leader's training
school this week. Unfortunately
leadership is not available for
Club 1 and as many members as
possible will be absorbed into
Clubs 2 and 3.

which to do their sewing and that
their mothers can give them
some assistance; as with larger
clubs it is impossible to give as
great personal assistance during
the sessions.
