Here i a guide to ome of the more popular programs: ' The Thin Man" the fellow who claim he was at church but nobody saw him. 'Dead or Alive,'-wbat we wonder about non-re ident members. ' 'Groucho" - what it looks like outside the church building between Sunday School and Wor hip Service. "I Led Three Live " - confes ion of a hypocrite who had one life at church, another at home, another at work. ' I've Got A Secret" - some the church go sip can't keep. 'Late Show" - what keep folk in bed Sunday morning. ' Medic - what ome ,people need on Sunday but have no u e for the re t of the week. Lone Ranger" - church member who doe n't cooperate with majority deci ion. "On The Go' church member at the beach river or Jake during church • erv1ces. 'Playhou e 90' a program of 90 minute that eem o much shorter than the 30 minute ermon. 'Rawhide" - people with thin kin who get n1ad at the church leader . - Borrowed from a church bulletin Camp Patmos donated several acres of land The owner of the land adjacent to the Camp Patmo property recently donated 3.26 acre to the camp, Rev. Glenn Greenwood, youth director said. Thi is a real an wer to prayer and an example of how God meets a need above that which we sometimes expect. Several Council of Ten member and Rev. Mr. Greenwood were dele– gated to peak to the owner about the pos ibility of purchasing the property. After further talk , the land was given free of charge. Thi land will be developed and improved for thi camp ea on. Plan at pre ent include a ball field and a recreational area. Why tithe? A. A. HYDE, a millionaire manu– facturer, aid he began tithing when he wa one hundred thou and dollar in debt. Many men have aid they con idered it di hone t to give God a tenth of their income while they were in debt. Mr. Hyde aid he agreed with that thought until one day it fla hed upon him that God wa hi fir t creditor. Then he began paying God fir t, and all the other creditor were eventually paid in full. If a man owe you money it would be a wi e bu ine policy on your part to encourage him to pay hi debt to God fir t. (copied) THE CHILDREN'S GOSPEL HOUR, INC. Livingston, Tenn.
