She gave it to a church she’s not

From where I ait, that's real
generosity. But then, Mrs. Thayer
never did believe in dividing
people Into groups. She's “for"
everybody — whatever church
they go to, whether they like TV
or radio, people who enjoy tem-

When a town farmer says he's
gonna plant so many acres of
such and such a crop this year,
he means he’s gonna oversee it,
and the view when plantin from

is different from the view you

IN MEMOR1AM
In remembrance of our loving
mother who departed this life,
Jan. 1, 1952.
“One year ago God called you
away
The one we could not save
Before our eyes she faded
Growing weaker day by day
Patiently bearing her suffering
Until God caled her away
To see her slowly leave us
So helpless we stood by
Although your soul is now at
rest
And free from care and pain
But still we say His Will be
done.
Your soul is with the blessed
It is so sweet to know
We will meet again
Where troubles are no more
The grief I bear in silence
For the one I love so well
