Men! Attention!
Would you slave over work
that wastes you hundreds of
hours each year for $2385 ?
Would you “get along” with
an out-of-date equipment
that a 1 million others have
discarded — an equipment
costing you thousands of
steps each day-— if you could
have the most up-to-date de-
vices for $2385 ?
Your Wife
Does That!
Your wife is pre-
paring over a
thosand meals
every year — car-
rying things back
and forth to a
table xyhen she
could have a
Hoosicr Kitchen
Cabinet for $2385
and do her work
in less time with
less energy A

Christian Church Notes
An infidel was introduced to a min-
ister by the friend of both with the'
remark “He never attends public
woisnip” “Ah” said the minister
“I hope you' are mistaken” The un-
believer replied “No I never have
time to go to church I spend my
Sunday settling my accounts” The
minister replied “Then alas! you will
find oi t that the day of judgment will
be spent in the same manner”
Oh my friends of this community
whom I have learned to love so well
and in whom I find so much that is
good permit me to urge you to keep
your account square with God just as
faithfully as you do your accounts
with men Your presence at His house
next Sunday in a spirit of worship and
thankfulness will be placed to the
credit of your account with Him
I love to tell you about God’s great
love and how he wants us to live
