DYE MOUND-PEABODY CLUB
FINDS PRODUCE IN DEFENSE
Greater intensity in produce will
help you financially and will help
the government in defense, Miss
Vinnie Dee Michie, Montague coun-
ty home demonstration agent, told
the women of the Dye Mound-
Peabody club at their meeting in
the home of Mrs. L. W. Young on

CHURCH OF CHRIST
Minister: L. R. Lovelady
Folks, we certainly want you to
know about our services but we
will not be able to say all we
would like to say concerning our
work, lest we empose on the good
editor of the Tribune. I do want
to say this; that there are some
[that are living right here in Saint
To that would not stay here ano-
ther week it it was not for the
church. Any, church! Yet they do
not have one spark of interest, or
show one appreciation toward that
they value so high. If all the chur-
ches should go out of business
over night you certainly would see
some moving taking place in a few
days, and the first ones to make
the move would be those that do
not show any interest toward it.
Just why some folks would want
to live where they can absorb all
the enfluince and the blessings
that the church affords, and never
show any appreciation toward it
with their presence at its services,
is as much a mystery to me as
some one that would be enticed to
steal flowers off the graves of the
dead.
Now folks, let's be honest about
this! If the church is worth any-
thing to you, and to the town in
which you live, and you would not
live if it was not there. Why don't
you show your appreciation with
your presence at its services? At
the services of the Church of
Christ. We present the truths of
the Bible. Jesus said that Ye shall
know the truth, and it shall make
you free, Do you know the Bible
truths concerning your soul? If
not, you should be learning, for
your soul is at stake. You have
got to spend eternity some where
after this life is over. Just where
that will be, will depend on you
knowing and obeying the truth.
