The man who puts his heart and head into his work, suc- ceeds. The man who puts^his faith and trust in his re- ligion and in his church grows finer of fiber, clearer of mind arid happier of heart. The man of work, and the man who attends church, are^usually one and the same. Whatever we put into our minds and souls, in like amount do we take out. Constant Sunday attendance at church yields, in return, inspirations where before there may have been dull weariness* Come to church Sunday. Replace the frayed, tired thoughts which beset you. Let the spirit of your Wil- mette church soothe your being into forgetfulness of work-a-day problems. You'll be the better for it. 1 i Came to ChurcJTSunday The Wilmette Baptist Church Rev. Frond* C.
