'‘ The moon weighed and
sailed down the milky way,
“ peeped in a samtorium window,
where a weary shut-in lay.
The moon seemed to grow brighter
and the stars to nod their heads ;
As the shut-in gazed heaven-ward
and this is the prayer she said: :
‘Oh, merciful Father in Heaven, i
l°ok down on me tonight; ;
And me courage to tight.
1 get so discouraged and lonesome,
I get homesick and blue,
The world outside soon forgets us.
such a few who are faithful and |
true,
j have a precious Savior who is I
faithful dear the end
Dear Father, help us forget what
our lives might have been.
Keey our lives in the dear Savior
and forgive us of our sins.
Give us rest in our bodies, give us
peace in our souls,
us ever be
Heaven is our goal.
Help us ever to be cheerful and
always be able to smile, and
Help us to be polite and courteous
and to think of the things worth
while> .
Make us a living example to
our fellow men,

Somehow this poem awoke us
to the realization that you and 1
are too much of our self-
ish selves! Surely you and I can
find time each day in the week
bring “Sunshine” to some shut-in
... Your Office Boy has been a
Shut-in ... He knows what
means . . . Maybe this rings
hauntingly in my ears . . . maybe
God l' eminds nie . . . (and you)
... of our sacred duty! We spent
each Sunday we visited Sanitar
iums and carried large baskets of
flowers, just scattering them from
one porch to another among hun
dreds 0 f patients . . . and we did
not realize j US t how much
meant to them in the beginning
. but on Monday morning when
.
the postman came there were
cards, letters of thanks . . . and IF
we missed one Sunday ... oh me
oh my . . . that postman could
.
hardly walk in with our mail ...
‘
some, too ill to write, had their
nurses call us to see if we were
sick , . . they knew we were or
we would have been there . .
surely, that was the greatest hap
pine's we have ever known for
hev were hundreds of miles from
anybody thev knew . . and we
took a note book and shopped for
them bought everything from
Panamas to chewing tobacco.

being handled.
Rev. Heard then brought a
splendid message on "The Great
Commission.' He made each one
present feel the importance of not
only inviting people to the Church
and Sunday School, but of going
out and getting them to our
Churches.
At the noon hour one of the lov
iiest luncheons ever served in a
Church was served by the ladies
of the Baptist Church. One table
across the spacious dining room
with it’s beautiful arrangements of
early spring flowers was filled with
delicious, foods and dainty sand
wiches of all kinds, while anoth
er table was filled with the pret
tiest of cakes, pies and sweets.
Drinks, hot and cold, were served
from another table.
During the afteri|oon session
Classes of Instruction were held
for each Department of the Sunday
School.
One of the splendid offers of the
; Sunday School Board is a gift of
books to any Church wishing to
start a Church Library It is hoped
that every Church in the Associa
tion will avail themselves of this
opportunity to furnish soul-win
ning books to members of the con
gregation, to Sunday School
Teachers and pupils. The library
will also contain clean wholesome
books you would want your boy
and girl to read, instead of the
magazines he or she picks up at the
corner bookstand. Will each
Church in the Association not real
ize opportunity is knocking at its
door?
