The fire department at the Sea- plane base has a seagrave pump- er engine of 750 gallon water capacity and a 500 gallon Ford pumper. Then there is the f. Bean truck, which is uw for plane crashes. It has a 4 al- Jon tank of water iwth 800 pounds of pressure at t this being a terrific for a fire truck and for speedy action before the big pumpers go into action.

Jesus said, ‘Tam the Way.’ If we fpllow Hiri we can’t go wrong.” To continue John’s description of Heaven in the 21st chapter of Revelation, referred to in the above contribution: “And I saw no temple therem: for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are the temple of 3t. And the city had no need of tae sun, neither of the moon, to shine in it: for the glory of God iid lighten it} and the Lamb is the light thereof.

And they shail bring the glory and honor of the nations into it. “And there shall in no wise en- ter into it anything that defilet, neither whatsoever worketh abo mination, or maketh a lie: but they which are written in the Lamb's book of life.” Scripture Quotation: “Blessed are they that do His command- ments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city.” ber compart con! t ; baa (Know America) = Sarah Wambaugh of , Cain-| 489. bridge, Mass., onetime League’ 5 oe o ae eee 3 TODAY'S BIRTHDAYS | the University of. ‘of!
