"SEEKING LIFE"
Conference is over. I am delighted
to be the pastor of the Methodist
Church in Alto for another year.
Let's begin now to make the year one
of success.
We know each other better, we
should be able to more fully co-
operate for the most good of all con-j
earned.
"Seeking Life," will be the subject
discussed Sunday morning and at the
evening hour the service will begin
at 7:15.
We ail want to live. That is the de-
sire of every living thing and we seek
to live in the most abundant way.
God has promised life, physical life,
as weil as spiritual life upon certain
conditions.
Let's make these conditions ours,
avail ourselves of this promise.
Let's make the Church mean more
this year in Alto than it did last year.
Let's make life mean more to our-
selves, and if so, it will mean more
to others.
Our young people have a new op-
portunity, with a new leader and a
years' successful work behind them.
They, with our help, should do more
in their field, and their field is the
world, for no avenue is closed to the
young folk.
The Sunday School is really tak-
ing on new life since the first of the
new year, beginning with October
and its success is assured if we con-
tinue to co-operate with its leader
ship. The superintendent and every
departmental officer in the grades
are doing hard work to make the
school a success. If the adult depart-
ment will give itself as wholly to the
forward program as are the grades,
wewillimakea record of which wc.
will all feel proud.
I wish to express my appreciation
to the community as a whole for its
cordial reception of me and my fam-
ily for the new year and assure each
individual that I Have only the best
interest of all at heart in my en-
deavor to serve as pastor here.
Come to church Sunday. Begin
the new Conference year right, and
we hope that the future will be pleas-
ant and successful for ait.

The invitation of Jesus is: "Come
unto me all ye that labor and are
heavy laden and I will give you rest.
Take my ybke upon you and learn of
me; for I am meek and lowly ih
heart: and ye shall find rest unto
your souls, for my yoke is easy and
my burden is light."
We are in the spirit of Christ ex-
tending an invitation to all who are
indifferent, neglectful, or sinful to
attend our services and worship the
Lord Jesus with us. Jesus loves you
and we desire your presence. Have
you heard the pastor tell of the love
of Christ for sinners? If not, come
and worship with those who love each
other.

of the doctor obeyed. This is your Drug Store, and we urge you to
use it.
