Sometimes the future looks black; we can’t see a
glimmer of light anywhere . . . and we ask for help
without really expecting an answer. But we’re wrong.
Even that small word, “help” means that we have
realized our own inadequacy and turned to Something
outside ourselves for guidance.
Called, or not called, “God is an ever-present help
in trouble.” And whenever we ask Him to intervene,
our lives are filled with new hope and inspiration.
He does not ask us to worry about the future. In
fact, He doesn’t intend us to worry at all. Worry in
dicates uncertainty and fear, and these have no place
in Christian living.
Perhaps you are thinking “That takes greater faith
than I’ll ever have!” But you forget God’s help. Per
fect trust. . . serene peace of mind .. . these are your
birthright. And your Church will teach you to attain
them.

THE CHURCH FOR ALL
ALL FOR THE CHURCH
The Church is the greatest factor
on earth for the building of charac
ter and good citizenship. It is a store
house of spiritual values. Without a
strong Church, neither democracy
nor civilization can survive. There
are four sound reasons why every
person should attend services regu
larly and support the Church. They
are: (1) For his own sake. (2) For
his children’s sake. (3) For the sake
of his community and nation. (4)
For the sake of the Church itself,
which needs his moral and material
support. Plan to go to church regu
larly and read your Bible daily.
