Is it not to love God with all the heart, strength and soul and mind, and to love one's neighbor ; as one's self? . i-. -Yet it is obvious in the pages ' ol the New Testament and in the religious life of 'all times, includ-i ing our own, that religious people! ihave been deeply concerned about. the problems of daily con duct. .They have differed widely abput questions of right and wrong and -have often been harsh in their demands and judgments. ! upon those whose ideas have not coincided with their own. x There are reasonable standards of moral judgment that would mark the proper conduct of a Christian while avoiding great extremes of undue Puritanism : and undue license. They can be j found in studying the words and the example of Jesus in relation to matters of conduct. - So often, we are too inclined to relate the teachings of Jesus to the supreme matter of faith and love without paying sufficient at tention to specific instances. j A striking instance concerns I the Sabbath. It was made for man, Jesus said, and not man for the Sabbath. Throughout Chris tian . history,- punctilious observ ers carried to extremes observ ance of the letter of the Sabbath, j There are enough real sins and j wrongs to fight without creating i artificial sins out of matters that are neither against- uod nor against one's fellow men. ! Goodness needs - always the strong ally of common sense. Intermediate Youth Fellow ship 7:00 p. m. Tuesday: Cherub Choir. 4:00 p. m. Wednesday: Mr. and Mrs. Group Suppe; 6:30 p. m.

ARE, that if your home is 10 years old, or more, your electrical appliance capacity is limited by loo few outlets, an inadequate fuse panel, and branch. circuit wiring that is too small in size. Electricity is similar to water. It flows along wires much as water flows through pipes. If too many faucets are connected to an inadequate plumbing system, all too often you'll find you can open only one faucet at a time, or else the result is only a trickle of water. The same is true with your' home electrical system. If the branch circuits are too few, or if the wire size is too small, only a "trickle" of electricity will reach your appliances. The result? A fuse blows,, or the appliance will not operate correctly. The answer? A modem. Adequate Wiring System designed to fit the electrical needs of YOUR family and home today, and tomorrow!
