THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 10 Read Matthew 16:13—20 1 will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. (Matthew 16:18.) Intoxicated by hatred, the non-Christian element of a big city one night destroyed and robbed eighty Christian churches, besides many shops and houses of Christians. On the following morning, a group of laborers and the architect, all sad and confused, stood before an uncompleted cjiurch building. They were asking themselves of what use would their labor be if this church also would be destroyed one day like the ones that were destroyed the day before! While they were in this unpleasant and undecided state of-mind, a non-Christian religious leader passed by. He saw that they seemed to have lost desire and courage tq go on with the work. He said to them: “Build, my children, build. To build is ten thousand times better than to destroy. You build. Let them destroy. At the end the Builder is the victorious one!” PRAYER: Heavenly Father, we praise Thy holy name. We thank Thee for Thy Son, our Lord Jesus Christ. In every age the powers of darkness have tried to destroy Thy work, but we rejoice that the foundation of Thy church is indestructible. Glory be to Thee for this assurance which Thou hast put in our hearts; through Christ our Lord. Amen. THOUGHT FOR THE DAY To build is better than to destroy! N. Khachadourian (Syria) World-wide Bible Reading Luke 14:15— 34

50 YEARS IN LOCKE By Mary Burkey “We came over to use your phone,” said the elderly lady (I’ll call her Susie), “but, I declare, I went off and left my glasses lay at home!” This was back in the teen years of the century' when telephones were not plentiful in the Village as they are now. After assuring Susie we would find the number for her, she still hesitated and declared she could not talk because her glasses were at home. The other elderly lady, who had come with her, began laughing and said, “Susie, I am dumb, but not that dumb! You don’t need to see to talk on the phone!” Susie colored and replied, “How dump of me!” and then laughed too. After we put in the call for her, she talked thru the phone without glasses. One time, after the bad ice storm many years ago which lasted two or three days, we had our own private telephone line with another family. Many lines were down and Nap-pa-nee Telephone Cos. men were very busy. Our wire was still up so we tried to get Central, turning the crank foreward and back on our old style phone, but there was no answer. Then our neighbor, Mrs. Abe Stump, who lived a block and a half away, where Harvey M. Millers now live, answered on the line. She said she heard a tingling ring on the phone'so came on to see if anyone could get Central, for they were not able to get her. And that was the beginning of our private line. When she turned her crank foreward and backward, it tinkled in our home and we had a good time chatting back and forth, with no one able to listen in. There is a private line that includes every person and reaches from earth to heaven. You can use this line anytime no matter where you are. There is always Someone at the other end, whose ear is always open to those who call. This private line is also for those in distress, or those who have fallen into sin. “For whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved,” Rom 10:13. "In my distress, I cried unto the Lord and he heard me”. Psa 120. “He shall call upon me and I will answer him. I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him ,nd honor him.” Psa. 91:15. Mrs. Fannie Fry is at the home of her son, Lonnie in Michigan for an indefinite stay.
