Are you trying above all el e to make a living? Or are you triving \ ith fi ed purpose to make a life - one that will glorify God, benefit your fellow men and bring credit to your elf and to your .family? If the latter i the ca e .how are you going about it? What are you count– ing a the week gain - the money you make? The advancement toward ome po ition in the community, in bu ine , in social life? The acquiring of knowledge and culture? Is it any or all of the e? Have you stopped to inquire into what will be the most im– portant line of development in com– ing years - omething that will be ju t as secure and vital whether you remain in this world or go on to the next? Why not make all we do lead to that definite goal and count?

Are we aiming def– initely for that - TODAY? - Strength For Each Day - Harry McCormick Lin tz, D.D. As I was reading the above, the thought occurred; TO WHOM, TO WHAT AM I AVAILABLE? Do I cheer or crush those deare t to me by the ~ecisions I make each day? In the light of Eternity, how important is my Home and Family, my Church - as compared with what I often choose to do? I prayed earnestly to the Lord that He would find me worthy and fill me with love, joyful– ness and strength to minister as He would have me to serve. 10 AUGUST, 1968 West Moriah Women Meet 1 he pring Meeting f the We t Moriah Won1en ' Mi ionary Fellow– . hip wa held at alvary Bapti t Church. on May J 4th the theme for the day being ~our Youth .
