to those who made possible the use

Company, as a time when special emphasis will be given to church attendance. American business and the advertising industry have volunteered
full cooperation for the national program through their public service
organization, the Advertising Council.

national religious bodies, including
the Federal Council of the Churches;
of Christ in America, the Synagogue
Council of America, the TJnite*3-»"€eutt-
cil of Church Women and the American Bible Society.

Your Problems to Church This Week

disclosed that the ,'deer had jumped
from a high -bank, in this darkness on
