Bell has contributed the following relative to the constructive way one should celebrate Thanksgiving Day: “Thanksgiving Day is a ‘plus’ time. It is a day for pausing in the midst of helter-skelter, pressure, discouragements, “minuses’ —a day for pausing to contemplate in perspective the ‘pluses’ of the year. It is a day when looking backward turns negatives into oositives, pessimists into optimists, because of the many ‘pluses.’ Thanksgiving Day is a day when looking backward encourages looking forward with faith and hope, since there have been many things to be thankful for in the year gone by, there will be also in the year to come, and so one will be more aware of these blessings as they happen.” I i

'The Prayer Phone operates 241 hours daily. A new prayer is recorded each day for your help and strength. Won’t you dial 3-409 U and be led in prayer to your God! il -IMUI.u. .ii-l-ti ill 111 hi Ml.it The Church Invites You Gratitude is the primary element of worship. Unless an individual has a strong felling of thankfullness, he will find it difficult to worship God privately or publicily. The stronger the sense of gratefulness, the easier it is to pray, the better one can sense the will of God, the keener the perception of truth and the greater the awareness of God in daily life. The spirit and expression of gratitude is a must in, this day of pressure, strain and concern. It enables man to draw nearer to God, provides God with a better channel through which to release His blessings and counteracts the spirit of greed and hatred in the world. A church composed of grateful persons is a victorious church, anxious for opportunities to serve God and man, appreciative of all blessings* from God and man. WHY NOT ACCEPT THE INVITATION AND COME TO CHURCH NEXT SUNDAY? Lesson Prayer LESSON PRAYER: Dear Father, we thank Thee that Thou didst send Thy Son into the world that Thy love and purposes might enter the stream of human hjstory. We thanfc Thee for the many ways in which Thou dost reveal Thyself to us and the evidences of Thy divine, gracious love for all Thy children. May we be ever mindful that Thou didst come to the world and lived among men in the person of Thy Son, Jesus Christ, whose life and teachings | show us the way to serve Thee i and fulfill Thy purpose for us.

tmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmrnmm — CLERICUS SAYS CLERICUS SAYS: Once the hand of God has been laid upon us In love and we have been liberated from the power of sin, we enter Into a new and thrilling experience. Darkness is succeeded by light, power supplants weakness and confidence takes the place of frustration. Just as the addition of a certain chemical to the compound in the test tube results in an entirely new compound, so the inflow of the spirit of God resulting in a new life in Christ Jesus. We are not redeemed because we accept a theology or because of our good works, but because we become the dwelling place of the Holy Spirit. Redemption is not a reward of merit it is the free, gracious, merciful gift of God. If you have something to sell or trade — use the Democrat Want ads — they get BIG results.
