ChrLstian church news
On Sunday August 27, a
small but enjoyable
service was held at the
Vanastra Christian
Church. The sermon was
based upon the first
Epistle of John Chps. 1-11
which teaches that if we
confess our sins they will
be forgiven by God
through the blood of his
Son Jesus Christ.
Since the absence of
Rev. Karl Boersma, the
congregation of the
Vanastra Christian
Church each week seems
to be diminishing. We
realize that there are
people still on holidays
but if we are to keep our
church active until we
are fortunate enough to
obtain a resident
minister, then we must
continue to support it
with our presence on
Sunday mornings.
So won't you please feel
free to attend and enjoy a
morning of fellowship as
well as worship. We have
been fortunate enough to
have the services of
visiting ministers each
week but if the at-
tendance continues to
drop, they will begin to
feel that it is not wor-
thwhile to come.
We hope that this will
not be the case. So please
help to keep our church
active. The' community
needs it as a source of
strength and guidance.
Sunday school will be
starting once again on
September 10. This
Sunday we have Rev.

Helpful hints: laundry tips
For a real step -saver,
when house cleaning, use
a clothespin apron. The
pockets can be used to
hold' odds and ends, then
theycan be put back in
the proper place as you
work.
To whiten linen or
cotton, boil.in a solution
of three parts water and
one part cream of tartar.
To prevent creases in
pant legs, etc., made by
hanging over a wire
hanger, slice an empty
paper towel tube length-
wise, fit it over the bot-
tom of the hanger, and
tape the slit. Instead of
taking down long drapes
when working on floors
or shampooing carpets,
hang a wire coat hanger
on the drapery rods and
