Better Homes Week
Important changes have been noted
in the homes in this country durin.
the past few years — particularly flu
homes of families of modest means.
Hitherto fa stranger to anything that«
smacked of architectural design, the
small home is becoming the subject
of study among leading architects and
gradually attractive small homes are
replacing the ugly box-like affairs
which grew with such rapidity thai
whole communities of poorly planned
houses are not uncommon. Much 01
this change has come about through a
concerted educational movement spon-
sored by President Hoover thvougn
the organization known a;s Hotter
Homes in America. Added impetus
was given to this drive against unat-
tractive and inconvenient houses thro
the Conference on Home Building ami
Home Ownership which President
Hoover called in December, when near
four thousand of the country's leaders
in the fields of housing and home-
making came together to consider ami
devise ways of bringing home's of all
citizens to at least minimum stand-
ards of safety, comfort, convenience
and beauty.
Headed by Dr. Kay Lyman Wilbur,
as president, and directed by Dr.
James Ford, Better Homes in Ameri-
ca has I or the past nine years been
engaged in a program of education
designed not only to raise the archi-
tectural standards of the small home.
but to lighten the burdens of the
homemakr through the use. of equip-
ment and methods which have been
thoroughly tested and approved.
Committed to a program of home
improvement at low cost, groups of
citizens in more than eight thousand
communities are lending their efforts
toward the relief of unemployment,.
Homes which have been neglected are.
being reconditioned, old houses mod-
ernized-, premises cleaned and grounds
planted, thereby providing work .for
thousands of men and women.
Better Homes Week, which is being
observed this week, will be a period
of general checking up, arid household
ers are being urged to take steps now
to have premises and houses in order.
In some communities this week will
be observed by meetings in which the
value of conserving the p li y s i e a 1
house as well as spiritual values of
the home will be stressed. In others women*.-
it will mark the launching of a driv
to bring the homes up to standard.
Better Homes in America, which i
a non-commercial organization, off or

Our community has recently been
-I lib ;ssed with a Revival Meeting which
was fostered by the Methodist Church
I am glad 1 could share its opportu-
nities and blessings. The "stock"
question always asked in revivals,
"was it a success?" Yes! Preaching
the word in the right motive can not
be a failure. Worship and service of
God is a sure success.
It was not a great "joining" time.
Revivals need not be. I do not know
the exact number either of additions,
conversions or ruconsecrations. There
were several. I like the plan of the
pastor doing the preaching with the
encouragement of the church. Brb
Mann's earnest preaching will stay
with us. The helpers in the music
and with the young people, Rev. Loyd
Jones and wife, were tireless workers.
Looked at by an "outsider," the
meeting was pleasant to everyone
who attended, fho not a Methodist.
I'heir cordial invitation and welcome
to oilier churches was helpful. We
all lelt at home. There was a pro-
portionate number of other christians
attending. It ought always be. thus.
It is good to live in communities
where most all church going people
attend revivals at every church as
they do here. There is n o place
where christian love and fellowship is
so real and helpful as at the house oil
God. Revivals offer this priceless
■privilege as nothing else does. Hence
i all who had the joy of attending the
| meelim.r are better christians.
!
Vv e should ha'-'e more revivals than
| we do. Instead of planning them on
I the basis oi what we are able to pay
the workers, we should plan them ac-
cording to our Spiritual needs. l u>-
ing the.,- time, we need to put more
emphasis on the things that revivals
major in.
At this time I am happy to announ-
ce plans made for the revival at the
Baptist Church to begin June 2<i, run-
ning to July 10. Bev, William S. Dix-
on ol Dallas will assist us, lie Is,-
what is called "the .Siiteine; Kvaig.-el-i

soloist. We want you to make your
plans now to take as big part as you
