HOLIDAY VISITORS
Mr. and Mrs. Frank Lief
and daughter of .nchorage
visited Homer over the Memor
ial day weekend.
YOU KNOWi
WE BEEN THINKING
If we were absent from
services next Sunday and God
would demand an excuse for
our absnece, I am wondering
if we might answer him some
thing like this: You see,
Lord, we could attend faith
fully if your day came at
some other time. You have
chosen a day that comes at
the end of a hard week, when
we are all tired out. Vie are
tired from working eight
hours a day, even though we
know you work twenty* four
hours a dayr Not only that,
Lord, you see it is the day
right after Saturday night,
and Saturday night is one
time when we feel that we
should really go out and en
joy ourselves. Often it is
after mid-night when we get
home, so you. see it is hard
to get up on Sunday morning.
Then too Sunday is the day
when the largest meal of the
week must be prepared, and
then usually canpany comes,
or we just have to have one
day in the week to visit and
you know Sunday is the most
appropriate time for that*
Ve would like to go to Church
and we know that we should go
...but it is just like this,
Lord, you-have just chosen
the wrong day.
A thought for the week;
The difference between a pre
judice and a conviction is,
that one can explain a con
viction without getting mad,
but you can*t a prejudice.

AND A LITTLE BIT MORE
Iflhen you are away from Homer and somebody asks "and
??here is your home?" it's a pretty safe bet that
you snap right back Hly home is in Homerl” because
Corner IS home#*.and a little bit more# It’s a grow
ing community with the best father in Alaska, the
lovliest scenery in Alaska and with the best future
in Alaska#
One, of the reasons why it does have the best future
in Alaska is because every day more and more people
are learning that it pays to support the community
by trading at home. They know that there is no fu
ture for them in supporting Seattle or Chicago#.,
they know because they tried it and now they trade
at home#
