HERE ARE RULES
FOR SPORTSME
The Isaak Walton League o
America has formulated nine axiom
for the -proper conduct of hunters, a
follows;
As human life is worth more tha"
all the game in America, see clear--
;y before shooting.
Carelessness with fir;arms is crim
inal.
Healthful recreation and the thru,
of the chase are a true sportsman's,
prime objectives always.
Observance of the law and eradication of the game hog are responsibilities no sportsman can evade.
A few fools with matches kill more
game than many snotguns. Prevent
fires.
Only vandals destroy farmers
fences, injure their stock 'or disregard their rights.
Real sportsmen never try their
skill about farmyards, in pastures o"
on trespass signs.
Saving ample seed stock of gam.-
birds and feeding U through the wir-
ter will perpetuate Ov? <-po-t.
A clear conscience a. the end of
the trip and an invitation to com:
again beats a full bag.

Services November 18 will be as
usual. Morning at 10 o'clock, Bible
school 11:15, Young Peoples' service

The Bible Study Class will meet on
Thursday night at 7:30. This week
we shall continue with the book of
Kings.
The Apostle enjoins us to "Forsake
not the assembling of ourselves together." He evidently knew that man
can not live by bread alone. The results from spiritual starvation • are
just as definite and real in their
sphere as are the results of physical
starvation. One may be less conscious
of soul-starvation but in the end the
effect is even more serious. The
church needs you, but youxalso need
the church.
You are cordially invited to worship
with us.
