Practically all your worldly wealth is represented
by your farm property—your buildings, machinery,
live stock, grain, feed, seed, and other things are sub-
ject to loss of some kind. Without insurance you are
taking big chances, that the Hartford Fire Insurance
Company, the farmer's friend, will carry for you.
The hartford pays losses caused by fire, lightning,
or windstorm; for crops destroyed by hail. There is
a Hartford policy that pays for death lof live stock
from any cause or for losses in transit of animals
shipped to market.
These policies have millions of dollars of assets
back of the promise to pay—if loss should come.
Surely this is the insurance you need and want.
To get a Hartford policy, write, call or telephone.
A representative will give you particulars and rates
upon request.
For Every Chance the Farmer Takes There is a Hart-
ford Policy. |

This writer was so busy the
first of last week that no notes
were given to the printer. We
appreciate the many inquiries
that have come regarding it.
These notes are not written for
a Theological discussion, or to
philosophize about things. They
are simply news notes.
Last week a general letter
was gotten out to the member-
ship of the church. This let-
ter contained cards seeking in-
formation regarding some
things about the several mem-
bers. We tried to get a letter
to every family that we did not
know definitely about already.
Some mistakes were doubtless
made. The church roll is not
complete is responsible for
some of the mistakes. The
main responsibility is doubtless
to be placed on the fact that
the one who got out the letters
is human and makes many mis-
takes. We hope the informa-
tion will soon be in and then
be utilized.
We had a great day Sunday.
A very fine congregation was
at the morning service at
which time the pastor preached
on "The Security of the Believ-
er in Christ." God's great
power was on us and the faith
of many was strengthened.
Prayer meetings was well at-
tended last week and the ser-
vice was good< We have «■
praying group of people from
whom we expect great things.
Let others find a place in this
most helpful service.
The crowd was small at the
evening service Sunday on' ncr
count of the cold. We had a
good service ]any way. The
Lord goes to church on a bad
night.
Our Woman's Missionary Un-
ion is doing a gracious work
under the leadership of Sister
Newman. They are studying
the book of Genesis in a deep
and serious way. All who are!
taking this study appreciate it
very much. The attendance is
good.
We are glad to see an in-
crease on the services on the
part of tho membership of the
church. This is a good healthy
sigh. We are pleased to see
that more of our young people
are staying for the morning
service, also. This pastor likes
to preach to the membership of
the church and especially the
young people.
We invite the general public
to worship with us at all times.
We offer you a spiritual ut is-
phere, simple Gosppreacl i if,
heartsi that are intereste! in
you, good spiritual singing, and
never a dragged out service.
The preacher quits by twelve
o'clock on Sunday morning. The
trains never run late.
About the best thing we
know of that has happened in
recent days was the banquet
given by the Berean Class at
the Martin Cafe last Friday
night. The proprietor of the
cafe did his part well and the
program was a success. This
is a live class of young men.
J. W. Corley is teacher and C.
C. Miller is president. They
had a great class present Sun-
day.
Sunday School meets at 9:45.
Preaching at 11 a. m. Sub-
ject: "Justification by Faith."
B. Y. P. U.s at 615 p. m. There
will be no service at the even-
ing preaching hour on account
of the meeting at the Metho-
dist. We are praying for a
great revival at this time and
we want to be in that attitude
that God can use us to help an-
swer that prayer. We hope
that the entire town will be
moved by a mighty religious
awakening. Let us attend ev-
ery service possible and help in
all the work of the meeting.
