Good Times Ahead
The battered old world freed at last from the scourge of
war is swinging slowly but surely back to normal. A year
it wonderful possibilities lies before us.
Signs innumerable point to good times ahead. And we
shall have them if, individually, we keep this simple for mu.
la in mind: “Stay on the job and con tinue to practice those
economies which grim war has taught us; work, earn, save
and avoid extravagance in every form. ’
Start now-andhere~to save. We want to help you.

due and is expected to all be
paid and sent in to the office of
the State Mission Board, not

see to it, brother pastors and

failure in any church to make
good now on our first years

that an earnest effort is made
also in every church in which
the campaign was not put on,
to take a great collection for
this fund at the April meeting

for a part in it.
