fi THE COMMUNITY CflURCH NEWS QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS What must we do to have the great church the minister talks about? Why be feontent with anything less than a great church? A great church commands respect and creates a field of human souls, indicative of a mighty harvest. It' s not hard to have a great church, just want it. Want it more than Sunday golf, more than Saturday night dance and cards, more than Sunday visiting, more than ice cream and chewing gum, more than Sunday headaches and cold indifference. Want it enough to come early, to take a front seat, to bring a friend, to boost by a joyous life, by a bit of personal missionary work through the week, by fervent prayer". Want the church enough to seek a new anointing for yourself, a new experience, a new contact with God for the good of your own soul. Want the great church enough to be personally interested and to team together for the goal. Why do some churches use the word "debts," while others use "trespasses" in reciting the Lord's prayer? In the King James, or Authorized Version, Matthew 6 and Luke II, the two places where the Lord's prayer is found, the word "debts" is used. "Debts" is therefore the bible word, while "trespasses" is found in the Book of Common Prayer, as compiled by the Episcopal church. The change from "debts" to "trespasses" was made for the reason that the word, "debt" doesn't embrace the meaning as it originally did, and the word "trespass," in their judgment, conveys more truly the original meaning. This, however, is a disputed point, hence some churches say "debts," the bible way, others say "trespasses," Book of Common Prayer. GEO. M.

fi THE COMMUNITY CflURCH NEWS STOW DAIRY BASEBALL TEAM TOWNSHIP CHAMPS Demonstrating the superiority of milk-fed hall-players over thofee who get their vitamins from either raw meat,, cod liver oil, or shoe leather and clean clothes, "Al" Stein recently lead his braves to final victory in the Stow Business Men's Baseball League series, defeating "Chet" Holt's warriors whom it is rumored were considerably pepped up before' each game by consuming huge quantities o'f cod-liver oil. However, we must now conclude that milk-fed ball players are best probably for the, reason that Stow Dairy gets its milk from contented' cows while Stow Drug 'well cod liver oil under certain circumstances is OK but more than likely the poor fish who supplied Chet Holt's warriors with their vitamins,,were far from being content, at least, when the oil was extracted.

Stow Dairy won the first, half by taking all three games. The second half was a tie, Stow Drug and Stew Dairy each having won two gamea Stow Drug won the play-off game and then as winners of the second half Stow _ Drug clashed again with Stow Dairy at which time the cod- liver oilers went-down in defeat before the onslaught of the mighty milk-fed.
