the morning worship and
took the theme for his ser
mon, from Kings I, Chapter
21, verse 4 and entitled it
“When you can’t get what
you want.” If we would enjoy
peace of mind, we must deal
with discontent, this disease
must be severly treated, said
Rev. Morden.
If we are tempted to
begrudge our neighbor the
things he has, and that we do
not have, we must emerge
from the sheer childishness
of discontent, and if we
concentrate on physical and
material things, our desires
will be forever increased.
Jesus said, “Blessed are
they that hunger and thirst
after Righteousness, for they
shall be filled.”

WASTING MONEY.

If your home is like 90% of Canadian

gives you an idea of how much you could save
by bringing your home from the average level
of insulation up to today’s recommended
standards. Of course, as energy costs go up,
so will these savings.

REGINA N/A $130 $390
