Two of them slept outs ide in sleeping bags until rain drove them in the car. oon a car failed to m ake a curve and came crashing into their car , passing right over the sp o t where the two had been sleeping an hour be– fo re. The car was badl)' damaged, but n o one was h u rt . They feel Ps. 91 :1 v. as fulf1lled. The church has bought a four bedroom parsonage at 1628 . Fountain Avenue, and the Houks are now happily settled. FIR T BAPTI T, tro ngsville Labo r Day was spent in laboring to clean and paint at the church, 'lfter which a picnic d inner was enjoyed .

GOOD Lase month we published a fine de– vot ional article by Dr. G ood called Rivers of Living Water. We are sure our read– ers much enjoyed it. Yet, somehow, either the editor or the printer failed to give him credit. Many will remember him as the youth ful pastor of Penfield J unc– tio n . For the last ten or more years he h as been pgscor of the Madison Avenue Bapti st Church of Paterson, N. J . THE OIB AT CHOOL Alberta D avis writes from Find lay that sh e has used some of rhe editor's poems for devotions before her sixth grade class. he says, "I must be carefu l what I say o r read, but I do try to g lorify G od and try to pu t a little of fear and respect into their minds fo r God." Parents could try the same method to put some respect for <: tobcr, 1960 ES - - • ,cxl into thci I O\\' O child rcn at hornc.
