RESOLVES WORTH WHILE A church, no matter where, prints on its Wervices these words: I will not worry. I will not be afraid. I will not give way to anger. I will not yield to jealousy, envy or hatred. I will be kind to every man, woman and child with whom K come in contact. s I will be cheerful and hopeful. I will trust in God and bravely face the future. Read them again. They are words worth while. Wear day. Cut them out and pin them up where you will see them pfiten. We refrain froin comment on these resolves because they say for themselves a thousand times more than we could, even h we every word in the dictionary.
