As a result, many-perhaps .you, too--are p1annnlg to build their own homes as soon aspossible. It is also taken for granted that these homes will be built in the best possible manner. Are you equally careful about the way in which you build for the period that begins at your death? The process continues from the cradle to the grave and there It stops. What if your building task were ended tomorrow? What would it show? Why not join us at 11 a m Sunday, when we discuss the words of Jesus, 11 \Vhosoever heareth these sayings of Mine and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock"? Matt 7:24. What does Jesus mean, and wli.at are we to do? Come and see! At 10 a m Sunday, our Bible discussion period and Sunday school is open to you and your family. Let us welcome you! The Lutheran Hour is yours for the dialing, pvery Sunday at 1:30 p m over KNAK. Friday's post: This is to inform you that the pastor will be out of his pulpit for a couple of Sundays, but the pulpit will be supplied with a speaker each Sunday, so be in your pew to encourage those who serve. A church service can be lik· ened to a game of tennis; there is little use or inspiration if there is no 1ne on the other side of the net to receive. So play the game. Don't grease yourself with a compound of inferiority complex to avoid your religious responsibilities. At least bring your soul up for a breath of pure air at least once a week.

Iti many churches Race Relations will be presented Sunday. Briefly speaking, the worst thing about "Race Relations" is our race with our relations to get the best of them in our dealings. It's our poor relations wHh members of our own race, in the case of Jacob and Esau, as well as with other races, which breeds war and strife. Here's a a scripture bit to chew on: '~If a man say, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liari for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God who he hath not seen," 1 John 4, 20.

From Llt~ tie Cottonwood, the activity spread Into Big Oottonw<>od, the Mountain Lake tllstrict to the southea..qt and America.n Fork to the south. T.'bey also pushed eastward over the dtvide and down into the narrow gulches to Parley's Park. At Parley's Park the pr<mper.tore crossed the trail of the earl.v MOl' mon PJoneers, who more thhn a score of years ago bas ma.de their first trek across the valley.
