A CHILD'S THANKSGIVING PRAYER Dear Father up in heaven above, I thank thee for thy care and love, That give me all I need each day To live for Thee and walk Thy way. I thank Thee for the angel strong Who guards me from all harm and wrong. Protected thus I need not fear, Knowing Thy care is always near. I thank Thee for the Bible given To show us Christ, the way to heaven, To show that Thou hast met our need. I thank Thee Thy Book to read. I thank Thee for Thy Son, Who came To die for all my sin and shame, To Open up the way for me To be given and come to Thee. I thank Thee for Thy Spirit's part, To come and live within my heart; To teach me more of Thy great love, And guide me on to heaven above. I thank Thee for the hope so sweet That soon in heaven I shall meet Thee and Thy Son and with Thine own Sing praise forever 'round Thy throne. -Ruth Miller Page 2 OBITUARIES HALLIE FERN JOHNSON 1915-1966 Items of Interest TEXAS Dear ones in Christ: The Lord has been blessing the We sure enjoy reading the Report Hallie Fern WIaiS bo'rn to Mr. and work at Faith Student Genter aJgain each montlh of which we thank the Mrs. H.

Most importam we can't for,get the blessings of the Lord which have been received, and the wonderful serwices we harve had. A few weeks ago Bro.
