chuj-ch aid projects in more than on five continents through the international program of the Lutheran World Federation. According to Dr. Stewart W. Herman, executive secretary of the Division of LWF Affairs in the National Lutheran Council, grants for this purpose exceed $2 million per year from funds raised by the Council’s annual financial appeal known as Lutheran World A'ctlon. “The cure of prejudice is the love of God. Were we to love our fellowman as we are loved by God, we would shed our benevolence abroad upon them in the same breadth and beauty as the sunshine glows upon the earth, the desert, the mountain and stream, without regard to their distinctive qualities. Human disadvantages do not deter the love of God from being shed abroad upon their lives. The bounties of Providence are given without prejudice. Os course, this adds to the sin of man but it is also a guide to human behaviour. It is not until we love human beings that we can help them. We hardly are the type of people to solve the problems of those we hate. Prejudice does not make wise administrators. Police power is perilous in the hands of prejudiced men. The sword of the tyrant is red with the blood of those against whom he holds prejudices. We cannot trust the destiny of the world, of our country, of our communities to be prejudiced minds. It is the just who are strong, and they are so because they are fair. Truth, freedom and justice make the only triple crown a noble life needs to wear.”—The Watchman Examiner.

We need never expect growth if we pay no attention to cultivation. We need never expect success in anything, Including the spiritual life, unless we are willing to plan and translate that plan into action. One of the axioms of modern life is that all successful enterprises must bd planned in advance. So, in the growth of our spiritual life, there must be a plan. God has provided away in which we may have spiritual growth through prayer and a definite effort every day to FIRST CHRISTIAN 2nd and Jefferson Streets Edward Pacha, minister Morning worship, 9:30 a.m. Church school, 10:30 a.m. One of the great thrills of church work comes from conventions where ministers and laymen meet together and share the ideas and views of the many churches from across the state.

Father and son banquet will be this Sunday at 5:30 p.m. This is a really fine time of the year. Graduation is over and many will start now to earn their way through life. For these I would like to share this thought: “Enjoy your work since you spend one-third of each day working for approximately forty - five years of your life. Adapt yourself to your work. Plan your work and make your plan work. Often a lack of system produces that I’m swamped feeling. Do not attempt to do everything at once. Follow Paul’s example: “This one thing I do.” Become proficient. Study ways to improve. It is always easier to do a job right Get a correct mental attitude. Think your work pleasant and easy. Remember your work is your bread-and-butter. Forget you are working for someone else. Try to realize someone is paying you to work for yourself. Work that is done in a spirit of love seems to glow in some mystic way. Such a worker feels as did Robert Louis Stevenson: “I know what happiness is as I have done good work.” God Bless You. ASSEMBLY OF GOD George Yarin, Pastor 1210 Elm Street Sunday School 9:45 A.M. Sunday School is the teaching arm of the church.
