ALL FOR THE CHURCH The Church is the greatest factor on earth for the building of char* acter and good citizenship. It is a storehouse of spiritual values. Without a strong Church, neither democracy nor .civilization can survive. There, are four sound reasons why every person should attend services regularly and support the Church. They are: (F) For his own sake. (2) For his children's sake. (3) For the sake of his community and nation. (4) For the sake of the Church itself, which needs his moral and material support. Plan to go to church regularly and read your Bible daily. Copyright 1061 Keister Advertising Service, Tne. Strasburg, Va.

Without that inch her growth will cease. Folks sometimes underestimate the importance of a Sunday in Church or Sunday School. What difference, they think, can just one Sunday make? But every day of worship or religious instruction adds its inch to our spiritual growth. And whenever we neglect the soul’s needs, then, temporarily at least, growth ceases. Children and adults, too, need to keep on growing spirituallyMlow different our world could be if all of us reached the spiritual maturity God wants men to attain. A Sunday, like an inch, is important. Next Sunday is all-important for all of us!
