The electric industry throughout the nation is
already prepared to furnish all the power
needs of national defense as well as the normal
requirements of homes, stores and offices.
More than 300,000 miles of electric power lines
(of 11,000 volts and over), largely intercon-
nected, form integrated systems which supply
adequate power to every important produc-
tion area in the nation.

This means that no government funds need be

that appropriations can be used to buy vital

constantly day and night. What is
it for? Because the Government is
in eminent danger. The safety of
the country is in peril. If you are
not a saved man, the same thing is
true about your soul. Your soul is
in constant peril. God is desperately
concerned about your safety. He has
emptied heaven, of its treasure, and
though rich He has become poor and
died that you who are poor and
helpless and doomed to die might
live and be made rich.
“It is not the will of God that any
should perish but that all should
come to repentance” and live. God
has done, and is doing His best to
make your war against sin a glori-
ous victory. Do you appreciate it?
If you are lost it will not be because
He is not willing and able, but be-
cause in your unthinking way you
did not care. God has done His best.
What have you done?
Come to church next Sunday and
let us think on our way before
journey is done. God bless you.

Where the Bible talked of how we
should be true to God, wait for his
time, not lose hope, she had a blue
mark. “True blue”, she said. And
so she had many other colors, and
every color meant something. The
Bible was worn down at the corners,
and it was a little dirty; for she
used it every day.
“I like your colored Bible,” said
the pastor. “I wish all our people
would read and mark their Bibles as
you do.”

Kind reader, we thank you for
reading thus far, but permit us to
ask you a personal question. Do
you read God’s Word regularly?
Did you ever read something like
this: “Forsake not the assembling of
yourselves together as the manner
of some is.” Does the following
mean anything to you? , “Mother,
I have found an old dusty thing high
on the shelf—just a book”. “Why,
that’s a Bible, Tommy dear. Be
careful—that’s God’s Book.” “God’s
Book,” the child exclaimed, “then
Mother, before we lose it, we’d
better send it back to God, for you
know we never use it.”

the services this Lord’s Day. Much
prayer is being made to assure God’s
presence. Study and practice is
being done for messages in song and
sermon. Truly our hearts and lives
will be richer from the services. The
sermons will be, “Following the
footprints of the all powerful
Christ.” And “What Jesus taught
that was and is revolutionary.”
Goals have been set for the month
of March. We want the Bible
School to average 225 for the month,
Church 300, prayer meeting 100 and
Conversions every Sunday. May
God lay it on all our hearts that only
the faithful steward gets the rewards
and the unfaithful the curse. May
every member of Central Christian
be faithful.

house on God’s day to the great
Christ Centered Crusade.

The Men’s Bible Class is one of

light it was last Sunday. The book
of Isaiah is our study. The closing
part of chapter one, and the begin-
ning of chapter two_will be our les-
son for next Sunday. A finer bunch
of men are not to be found any-
where. It is a joy indeed to teach
such a class.
At the morning worship the pastor
will preach on this subject: The Un-
changing Christ In A Changing
World. The at 7:30 in the evening
this subject: The Sinner’s Bed.

spending billions of dollars, and
training millions of men for its de-
fense needs. This work is going on

“Mrs. Jones has a colored Bible,”
a little boy in Sunday School told
his pastor.
• “I would like to see it,” said he.
The next time he called at Mrs.
Jones home, he said to her: “I
heard you have a colored Bible. Is
that right? May I see it?”
“This is the only Bible I have,”
said she, as she brought hers. It
was full of colored pencil marks.
Where the Bible talked about sin,
she had marked those verses black.
2 “Sin is black,” she explained.
The verses that talked about for-
giveness of sin she marked in red.
“Because they are forgiven through
the red blood of Jesus,” she added.
