CenterSikeston for agriculture and the spiritual values of rural life.

It was first observed in 1929 at the suggestion of the International Association of Agricultural missions and according to plans adopted by the Home Missions Council, the Federal Council of Churches of Christ in America, and other religious bodies. Both rural and city churches may observe Rural Life Sunday for all men are dependent upon mother earth for their food, homes and all material possessions. Life is a unity and is the result of the Trinity of God, man and nature dependent one upon the other. Perhaps the widest observance of Rural Life Sunday is by 4-H Clubs. It is commonly referred to by 4-H people as 4-H Sunday.

In 1955 there was some observance of this day by 4-H clubs in 113 of the 114 counties of the state. More than 20.000 members participated in these services. Faculty of the Missouri College has assisted the clubs in these services over a long period of years. This year, Dean Seth Slaughter asked the Rev. Jack Bogard to suggest appropriate themes in keeping with the national 4-H theme, Family and Community A copy of those suggestions has been sent to all 4-H Community Leadeis in New Madrid county.

The county extension offices will gladly make these suggestions available to ministers of the county if requested. The program for the Sunday service is usually worked out by adult leaders, club members, members of the Extension staff, and the minister in whose church the services are held. Some services are held on a county basis. Other times a group of clubs centered around a rural church will combine their efforts in this Sunday observance. Other clubs programs of their own.

Sometimes a club or a group of clubs merely attend services in a body. More often, the young people take an active part in the services. Bible 4-H Those charged with the responsibility of directing the 4-H program regard 4-H Sunday as a very important part of the program. However, spiritual experiences of 4-H members are not limited to this once-a-year observance. A 4-H member pledges his heart to greater loyalty, which cer tainly involves loyalty to Diety, and his hands to larger service, has a direct relation to the brotherhood of man.

Resourcefulness and persistance in achieving in projects, cooperation and good fellowship, respect for God and country involved in the citizenship program, sharing of goods, services, honors, and efforts world peace as carried out in the International Farm Youth Exchange program are part of the club program. All contribute something to the spiritual well-being of members of this youth organization. Real Estate Transfers Gretta Miller to Andy LeGrand, part lot 25, Benton, $500. Mollie A.
