We Can Count Many Blessings
Come floods, higher taxes and increased cost of living,
the lower Snake river valley looks good to one who has
visited numerous "boom" areas where money flows like
water, but where actual water is scarce and taxes and
living costs are also on the upgrade.
Outstanding for personal comfort as well as for stable
economy is the climate here, notwithstanding the Mal
heur rivers recent spree that cost something like $2 m il
lion in property damage or the "unusual 21 below tem
perature last January'. Here farmers enjoy a long grow
ing season and have an abundance of irrigation water to
grow their crops on naturally arid land.
A wide diversity of crops grown, plus the God-given
blessings of the types of crops, such as early potatoes
that can be marketed before those of other areas, has
stabilized the farm economy to a greater extent than
most other parts of the nation.
This rural area is made up largely of rugged individ
ualists who can and do pull themselves up by their boot
straps, who take part in general affairs that affect their
own and their neighbors' welfare and who can see be
yond tomorrow in their planning for the future.
To say that hospitality is lacking in other areas would
be untrue, but there's something about the rural atmos
phere of good old American friendliness that should
make anyone grateful for the privilege of living in the
lower Snake river vallev

" I don’t believe in Lent," said
Sam. "Those days are like any
other days.”
" I t ’s true,” said Bob, “ tu t don’ t
you feel that a special time should
be set aside to think about the
Lord’s suffering?”
"W e should be thankful to Jesus
every day,” said Sam.
” 1 agree,” said Bob. "W ill your
men at the plant work July 4th?"
“ O f course not,” said Sam.
"N o w look,” said Bob, "w e
should be good Americans every
day of the year. But still you’re
setting aside July 4th to remember
our independence. It’s good to set
aside a day to celebrate what it
true all year, isn’t it?”
"Perhaps July 4th and Christ
mas and Labor Day,” said Sam
“ But those are single days.”
"T h e principle is the same,"
said Bob. "W e need to think about
what Jesus suffered when He died
for us. That's L e n t."
" I see your point," Sam agreed
Don't you agree, too?
Worship with us during the
Lenten days, in honor of the

I've got a real idea for the

have Skinny Tensen write A L L

Naturally it would b# our last

When I was a kid I had quite a
stamp collection. But it's nothing
to the one my w.fe is working on.
I concentrated on U. S. Comme-
moratives, but she's my little
SRV, S and H and Gold Srnke
fiend.
Having been the family shop
per for the past two months. I'm
greeted at the door with not “ how
did your day go. dear.” but
"which stamps did you get to
night!” (’Course that’s overdone
a little but the idea is th ere)
The last edition of Life and the
Sunday edition of the Oregonian
explored the craze thoroughly.
Both agreed that men were much
less interested in the stamps than
women, both went into the pros
and cons of the matter but no
specific conclusions were reach
ed, probably because the articles
were written by men.
t
They tiptoed over the question
as to who really paid for them.
Just took a farm ad over the
phone and it’s obvious I’ve just
got to go out and spend a day on

mention “ fallers."
There's been a lot of yak yak
on the relative merits of TV
and newspaper advertising. My
only thought is that you can't
drag a TV set into the powder
room which is the place I head
for when the commercials come
on. On the other hand, a news
paper has M A N Y uses!
Just came up with a revolting
dea. It seems that every few
weeks there’s a new campaign on
to collect funds for ailments that
cover every possible disease from
neurotic conditions to hangnails
Movie stars plead for funds, o ffi

peals or solicitors bang on doors
I’ ve no quarrel with the fact
that research is vital to progress
and the elimination or curtail

work accomplished has been ter

Would it not be possible to lump
all these individual drives into a

Do we have to go to church
every Sunday? Thai answer
must be no! Because the Lord
Jesus or God does not make us
do anything.
Mark 16 16 says: If you be
lieve and are baptized you shall
be saved He doesn’t say that
you have to believe and be
bapt.zed. but he does say that
if you don’t you w ill be damn
ed.
No. the Lord didn't hare to
be crucified and die for us but
if He hadn't the scripture*
wouldn't hare been fulfilled
(Matt. 2£:53 S4) or our sins
wouldn't hare been forgiren I
(I Cor. 15:3-4).
God is a jealous God Ex 20:
5. Ex 34 14; Deut. 4 24, 5 9.
6 15; Jc«hua 24 19; Nahum 1:2.
Do you hare a child or par
enl whom you are eery fond
of?
Let us take Uus loved one
whom you are very fond of
and say he could meet w.th
you every Lord's day and your
brothers and sisters would be
there to rejoice with you How
often would you be there’
In Matt. 10:37 Jesus says if
you lore parent or child more
than Me you are not worthy
of Me.
Do we have to go to church
every Sunday? We don’t have
to do anything but we ought
to be glad and anxious to go
every Sunday.
Not only every Sunday but
•very time the brethren come
together, for the Lord said
where there be two or three
gathered together in my name
there I will be in the midst of
them. Matt. 11:20.
