Over the years we have run many wedding announcements, but
the most enjoyable one I have ever read appeared in the Chicago
Tribune. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
Society Wedding: A Swinging Social Soiree’
For too long, Berwyn-Cicero society has complained of receiving
all too little attention vis-à-vis the North Shore, Barrington Hills, Oak
Brook Flossmoor, and other local habitats of high society. We want
to do something about this.
The Berwyn-Cicero (B-C, as it is known in fashionable circles)
social season opened last weekend with the celebrated nuptials of
Mildred Annalee Kelton to Albert Michael Mortone at two o’clock
in the afternoon on Saturday, June 2, 1979, in the First Presbyterian
Church, River Forest.
Miss Kelton, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Peter Kelton of Berwyn,
was lovely in a traditional white wedding gown. Her maid of honor,
Phyllis Simmons of Cicero, wore a yellow lace gown, with her other
attendants in blue lace. The groom, best man and ushers were resplen-
dent in powder-blue tuxedos from
Henry’s Formal Wear, Cicero.
Miss Kelton, eighteen, attended
Wheeling High School, Wheeling, Illinois, departing prior to
completion of degree requirement, and is now, hopefully, between jobs. Mr. Mortone, twentyfive, said that he is legitimately
unemployed, receiving compensation from the State of Illinois.
Miss Kelton was given away in
holy matrimony by her father in a
traditional ceremony, highlighted
by usher Frank Bascom of Cicero
yelling, “Yahoo!” as the couple
exchanged rings. The remaining
ten minutes of the ceremony were
omitted.
The couple departed the church
in a shower of rice in a late-model
Chevrolet and were driven to a
reception at the respected Berwyn
Elks Club.
About one hundred of B-C’s
smart set attended the reception,
dancing to the tuneful tunes of an
unnamed guitar-accordion-drum
band playing pleasurable polkas.
Club manager and master of B-C
Morgan Beavert is the daughter of Winston and Kelly Beavert.
Senior Grant Rowsey escorted his parents Cheryl and Roger Rowsey during the senior night festivities.
soirees, George Lundgren, chose
tablecloths, but no centerpieces,
for simple elegance. Lundgren
sold whisky, gin, and setups were
available. He said the band broke
for dinner at 4:30 pm as guests
dined buffet style on roast beef,
broasted chicken, mostaccioli,
macaroni salad, and various JellO molds.
After dinner, ethnic dancing
continued, and at about eight
o’clock the traditional fighting
commenced. While dancing with
the groom’s sister, Simone, Mr.
Bascom observed his wife touch
dancing with the groom’s fifteenyear-old brother, Marty.
Mr. Bascom subjected Marty
Mortone to physical abuse and
threatened severe violence. A
check of the social register maintained by the Berwyn Department
of Public Safety indicates our Mr.
Bascom is a man of his word.
The Mortones are a close, oldline Cicero family, and brother
Jerome Mortone laid Mr. Bascom upside the head with a full
champagne bottle, according to
other prominent guests. At this
point several others joined in the
fisticuffs, including the groom.
So many, in fact, that the uniformed Berwyn policeman on
duty at the wedding reception
instructed Mr. Lundgren to call
for assistance. Local authorities
say it is “customary” to have a
policeman at Berwyn wedding
receptions, where, “fights are
quite common.”
Two local gendarmes, respondent in dark-blue uniforms, arrived to join the festivities. “The
entire place was up for grabs,”
said one.
S ocial-scene observers note
that this was a truly superlative
affair, attended, finally by ;the
entire Saturday night shift of the
Berwyn Police Department – the
measure of any social occasion.
Brandishing dark, solid-wood
nightsticks (absolutely smashing accessories with the blue
uniforms), police waded into
the boisterous gathering of B-C
society.
“I couldn’t believe what I saw,”
said one veteran policeman.
“Glasses, champagne bottles and
beer bottles were flying. Everyone in the place was fighting – like
a Western movie barroom brawl.
They didn’t even pay any attention to us.” (For the record – the
bride and groom and their parents
said it was a nice reception ruined
by police intervention.)
“ When we stepped between
people fighting, they turned on
us,” another policeman said. “It
was frightening: a dozen of us
against one hundred of them.
They’d throw us to the floor,
stomp us, and go back to fighting.
We couldn’t arrest anybody; it
was all we could do to hold on to
our guns and nightsticks. They
threw most of us back down the
stairs.
“The bride was getting in her
licks, too. Her wedding gown
was torn to pieces. The band
members had extended their

microphone stands as far as they
would go and were swinging
them like baseball bats to protect
themselves from the guests,” he
said.
Police from a local park district,
Cicero, and other surrounding
communities were called in, about
forty- to forty-five officers in all.
“We restored order, announced
that the reception was over, and
told the guests to disperse,” a
police spokesman said.
The crowd went outside, where
fighting continued. Guns were
drawn when one guest flattened
two policeman with a table leg.
Passersby reportedly joined in
the fighting.
The pugilism continued inside
the two paddy wagons and in front
of the Berwyn Police Department,
where guests not yet under arrest
met the police vehicles’ arrival.

hospitalized. Only twelve were arrested, according to authorities,
“because we wanted to get out of there while we were still alive.”
A local judge, resplendent in floor-length black robes, set bonds at
$5,000 to $15,000 each.
Neck braces and arm slings are the height of fashion this week at
the Berwyn Police Department.
A good time was had by all, at what is being called the most exciting
B-C social event since last year’s Southwest Cook County Chapter 205
of the National Association of Women in Construction’s Candlelight
Bowl.
The couple is at home in Cicero following the groom’s release from
Cook County Jail Tuesday evening. Honeymoon plans have been
postponed ending trial.
We wish the young couple all the best – in court, at future B-C
welterweight wedding receptions, and in returning those armless,
blood-spattered tuxedos to Henry’s Formal Wear. We anxiously await
the wedding photos.

And speaking of marriage, here is my favorite story of the week .
..
Recently engaged, Dan Samolla asked his Aunt Jane, who has been
married to his Uncle Bob for 34 years, what she thought was the key
to the success of their long union. She began, “We try not to argue,
and we respect each other’s privacy –
At this point Uncle Bob interrupted. “She works days and I work
nights,” he said.

Last of all, if you are having problems in your marriage, maybe
you need to buy a bird. The chirping may help you and your wife
get along better.
The birds have been a blessing to the folks living in Lancaster,
California.
Crime is down in this city on the desert fringe of Los Angeles
County, and Mayor R. Rex Parris is sure he knows one reason: It’s
the chirping.
“Do you feel that?” he asked as he inched forward in his cowboy
boots on a city sidewalk, anticipating a calming sensation from the
faint sound of birds above his head.
The chirps subconsciously discourage criminality, Mr. Parris says:
“Everybody is now in a better mood, a better place.”
Those chirps aren’t from here. The mayor bought them in recordings
from England, and for the past 10 months he has had his city play them
over 70 speakers along a half mile of Lancaster Boulevard, blended
with mellow synthesizer tones, five hours a day.
His claim: The bird song and music calm citizens by fine-tuning
brain chemicals.
Minor crimes in Lancaster fell about 15% last year, compared with
2010, says the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department, this city
being part of the county, and serious crimes fell about 6%.
“We’re not seeing that impulse-control crime,” Mr. Parris says. “It
has just been astonishing to us how the community has changed as a
result of a one-half-mile stretch.”
Some people are skeptical. Laura Dugan, an associate professor of
criminology and criminal justice at the University of Maryland, says
public officials often claim their initiatives reduce crime, but without
sufficient evidence for their assertions.
“There’s also a drop in crime in every other major and minor city, so
just because somebody tries something and you see a drop in crime, it
doesn’t mean it necessarily caused it,” Ms. Dugan says of Lancaster’s
piped-in birds.
Lancaster was already seeing a multiyear decline in crime before
the birds, says Robert Jonsen, captain of the Lancaster Sheriff Station. That’s because city officials worked more closely with police,
increased public engagement and improved Lancaster Boulevard, he
says.
But the boulevard bird song is an important element in the effort
to decrease crime, Mr. Jonsen says. It has also carried over into other
parts of town, he says, as visitors bring the mellow vibes back to their
neighborhoods.
Many locals believe in the birds. Maria Elena Grado, who runs
the Lemon Leaf Café near speakers playing the bird music, says the
area was “crime infested” when she opened in 2006. The birds, and
a broader upgrade of the area, have had a positive impact on the demeanor of customers, she says.
“Everybody laughed at the idea, but people don’t even realize the
things that make them tick.”
Mr. Parris, who is also a practicing personal-injury attorney, says
he got interested in ways to affect brain chemistry because he wanted
to be more persuasive in court. “Once you recognize that all of this
happens because of chemicals in the brain, you look at how do we
affect those chemicals.”
Mr. Parris saw a way to test
tweets after he became the parttime mayor of Lancaster in 2008.
The city has about 157,000 residents. Frank Zappa and Judy
Garland both lived there at some
point.
Mr. Parris first recorded birds in
his backyard, but decided in early
2011 to spend his own money
commissioning a composition
from Julian Treasure, a sound
consultant based near London.
Mr. Treasure used recorded chirps
from Europe, blended with water
sounds and what he calls “uplifting musical figures.”
Mr. Treasure’s firm, The Sound
Agency Ltd., previously had installed bird sounds in bathrooms
of some BP PLC gas stations in
Europe. A BP spokesman says the
bird sounds resulted in compliments from customers.
Bird sounds can reduce
cortisol and adrenaline, which are
produced by the human body in
response to stress, Mr. Treasure
says. Ever since early man had to
worry about forest predators, he
says, people found singing birds
reassuring. “We’ve learned over
hundreds of thousands of years
it’s when they stop that we need
to worry,” he says.
It is plausible that Lancaster’s bird sounds would have
their claimed effect on crime, says
Daniel Levitin, a neuroscientist at
McGill University, as long as an
individual genuinely found that

sound pleasing and songbirds
were used. “The obvious thing is
it can’t be the sound of vultures
ripping apart a bison or anything,”
he says.
Mr. Treasure says he
isn’t certain what birds are on
the recordings. Ben Sheldon, a
University of Oxford field-ornithology professor, upon listening
to a segment, says he detects male
songbirds such as the robin, wren,
blackbird and perhaps a bit of
the Great Tit. Their message to
females, he says: “I’m here, are
you unattached?”
There may be precedent.
Doha, Qatar’s Aspire Park serenades visitors with recorded birds.
Walid Bachir, section head-public
domain at the park’s management
agency, thinks the sounds do help
modulate behavior. “Otherwise,
we might have more fighting
between visiting groups or kids,”
he says.
Mind control isn’t just for the
birds. The London Underground
plays classical music in some
stations to create a more crime-
free environment, says a spokeswoman for transport for London.
U.K.-based Compound Security
Systems Ltd. sells a device to
repel loitering teens with a frequency adults can’t hear. It also
appears not to bother dogs.
Greg Budney, audio curator at
the Cornell Lab of Ornithology’s
Macaulay Library, a renowned
collection of recorded bird song,
says he has had requests to use the
collection for medical purposes
but hasn’t heard of bird song being used to fight crime.
Neither has Charles Sczuroski,
a senior trainer at the National
Crime Prevention Council. But
broadcasting bird song meshes
with the concept of crime prevention through environmental
design, he says, in which cities
might improve lighting or play
cheerful music in public spaces.
If chirping influences ne’er-dowells, “It really does not surprise
me.”

-- The Computer --
by Cleo Emerson LeVally
This week I was at the beauty
shop and a mother came in with
her two-year-old daughter and
was also carrying a small baby
in a carryall. While I was under
the dryer, the two-year-old came
and stood in front of me. She had
an iphone (I think it was) and
began to flash photos of the baby
to me. I marveled as she would
show one photo and then turn it
around and punch three times on
the iphone and then show another
photo to me. This from a twoyear-old, using the iphone like a
pro! When I told this story to a
friend, she told me that computers
and these new gadgets (with a lot
of names) were now being used in
kindergarten class at the schools.
Forget cursive writing.
This past Christmas I received
many e-cards instead of Christmas
cards. These are not things we can
keep and read in years to come.
Just weeks ago, we thought the
computer was about the best we
could have. Now technology is
moving faster that we (or I-?) can
keep up with it.
A few years ago I began to abhor the fact that letter writing was
a thing of the past. And I had not
seen anything yet.
The e-mails and iphone messages are not like the letters
we used to receive. Recently I
straightened up a drawer and
found a letter written to me by

Just to see her handwriting was
special.
I have a card written to me by
my son when he attended his first
Boy Scout Camp. The card reads,
‘Dear Mom, they made us write
home so this is my letter. Your
son.’
I have letters from my daughter
written when she was at a job in
a far away state. She was lonely
and the letter told how she was
spending her day and trying to
get acquainted with her new job.
That would have been forgotten
if I did not have the letter.
I have a folder that contains all

THE ALLEN ADVOCATE, FEBRUARY 9, 2012, PAGE 5
One
Pharmacist’s View
A guy from Harden City,
Oklahoma, Bobby Winters
writes a guest column in the
Ada Evening News once in a
while, which I always make
a point to read. Last week he
wrote a story about Harden
City and a little country store
run by a couple named “McElroy” plus a delicious meat
called “Baloney.” To speak
of Harden City you also speak
geographically of McLish
School, the town of Fittstown,
Franks and a nice picnic and
swimming place called Lee’s
Park. I won’t include Byrd’s
Mill in this as it’s on down
the road and you have to quit
somewhere. In his story about
Harden City, Winters remembers the excellent quality of the
baloney (bologna) in McElroy’s store and their “Grape
Cokes.”
I lived in a more of a metrotype area called Stonewall at
the time, but like the good professor, I had many an occasion
to stop in at the McElroy’s for
an ice-cold RC. The McElroy’s did some business over
at Stonewall with my dad and
on one occasion I delivered a
new gadget to them: an item
called a television set. I still
remember sitting there quite a
while enjoying a cold RC and
watching the TV with them—
making sure that the only channel we got, channel 4, would
keep on coming in. Everyone
was quite pleased that most of
the time you could make out
whose face was peering out
through the abundant snow on
the screen.
Winter’s story of the McElroy store and their baloney
caused me to remember a pair
of Uncles I once had: Uncle
Ezra and Uncle Matt. Ezra
operated one of those country
stores up near Graton, California that had real good baloney
and cold pop while Matt was a
farmer down south near Fresno. Matt was a dairy farmer
who raised a few hogs and
cured hams. Whenever Ezra
and his family drove down for
a visit Matt always gave him
some home cured hams and
other farm fresh items you just
can’t buy at the store. Ezra in
return brought baloney ends,
lunch meats and “store goodies” to a hoard of kids that were
far too numerous to be counted
in the Mathis Ray Family.
M y cousin, “Corky” Ray,
one of those children, always
laughed as he would tell me
of how they thought they had
cheated their Uncle Ezra. They
had palmed off some common
farm hams for meat delicacies
called baloney and those other
delicious store-bought goodies. One more thing I need to
mention here: My Uncle Matt
owned Arnold, the large Boar
Hog which he loaned to Steve
Spielberg and who starred
in the movie “Thornburg’s”
(Arnold not Steve). I wrote
an article about Arnold a few
years ago which my regular
readers (you know who you
are) will remember. It’s about
as close as I ever got to being
kin to anyone who starred in a
movie.
The rural roads and highways
of America played host to a jillion of those little stores like
McElroy’s and Uncle Ezra’s
back then. As I drive the rural
highways in America I can still
spot these ruins and relics of
America’s past and I still miss
them. Several years ago I was
riding with my older brother
Gerald on US-270 between
Stuart and McAlester and he
slowed the car and pulled into
the driveway of one of these
tiny stores. “What are you doing?” I asked. “I’ve been going
past this place all my life and
I want to see who runs it.” So
we did. About an hour later,
finishing off a cold drink and
a lot of good conversation, we
Light from God’s Word
Mark Legg,
Allen church of Christ
D avid J. Stewart wrote,
“There is nothing in the Bible
which requires a person to be
baptized in order to be saved.”
He argues that if people must
be baptized to be saved, they
are trying to be saved by works
and he states, “A careful study
of the Scriptures with an honest heart makes it quite clear
that works CANNOT save a
person.”
It is certainly true that it is
“not by works of righteousness
which we have done” that we
are saved. (Titus 3:5) However
is baptism a work? If people
believe they must be baptized
to have their sins forgiven and
to be saved, do they think that
baptism is a work by which
they earn salvation?
W hen Naaman obey the
command (2 Kings 5:10) to
“Go and wash in the Jordan
seven times” to be cured of
leprosy, did he earn salvation
from leprosy by the action of
dipping seven time in Jordan?
Of course not! Did dipping in
the Jordan cure his leprosy?
Was there some power in the
waters of Jordan? Of course
not! Could he have dipped
six times in Jordan and been
cured? No! Could he have
dipped seven time in one of
the rivers of Damascus (as he
thought would be alright – 2
Kings 5:12) and been cured?
No!
W hat was the power that
cured his leprosy? God cured
him! But when did God cure
him? All of us can see that
it was when he obeyed? Did

his obedience cure him? Of
course not! God cured him,
but when? It was only after
he had expressed his faith in
God in obeying the command
given him. In the same way,
baptism is not a work by which
anyone can earn salvation, but
it is the commanded expression
of faith in our Savior, just as
the dipping in the Jordan seven
times was the means by which
Naaman was commanded to
express his faith in God to
cure his leprosy. When one
is baptized into Christ, he is
expressing his faith in Christ
to save him. “He who believes
and is baptized will be saved;
but he who does not believe
will be condemned.” (Mark
16:16)

store still sits there gradually falling apart but thanks to
my brother I now have good
memories of a fine old couple
who seemingly were just sitting there waiting for someone
to stop and buy a pop and talk
a while.
I hope all of you are enjoying

“We were getting good shots
early, but they just weren’t falling,” Coach Strong said. “Our
defense did a heck of a job to
slow up their best shooter. We
overcame that slow start and
came back to win this thing.
That should give us a little lift

“I thought we played well in

New Lima never got closer than

get the win.”
Now that the playoffs are at
hand, coasting will not be an option for the Mustangs.
“We’ll have to come out and
play much harder and with more
intensity,” the coach said. “But,
as I said earlier, I believe we’ll
be ready to do that.”

Allen Mustang correspondent
The Allen Mustangs open the
Class A district playoffs this
weekend at Allen High School.
Coach Greg Mills’ Mustangs will
host the Achille Eagles at 8 p.m.
Saturday in a showdown for the
district championship.
“I feel good about our kids being ready to play,” Coach Mills
said. “It is sometimes hard to
be motivated for those regularseason games. That was the case
Tuesday night when we played
New Lima. But the kids are excited and ready for the playoffs to
be here. We’ll be ready to go.”
Allen will bring a 21-2 record
into the district championship
game. The Mustangs have a very
competitive field of teams to
face in the coming days. However, AHS is expected to battle
Weleetka and Wright City for the
two spots that will qualify for
state in this area.
“It all starts with Achille,” the
AHS boss said. “We need to take
care of business against them.
They’ve got one player who
averages 27 or 28 points a game.
They ride him hard as far as their
success. We’ll play our normal
man-to-man defense against him.
We are not going to start changing
how we play opponents. We’ll
keep doing the same things that
have made us successful so far.”
Last Thursday, Allen erupted
for a 73-43 blowout victory over
the visiting Davis Wolves. Four
different Mustangs powered the
31-point win. Lane Mills was a
force with a game-high 21 points.
Grant Rowsey was also deadlyeffective on offense with 17
points. Brady Caldwell and Zane
Erickson added 10 points each en
route to the win.
Connor Johnson didn’t miss
double digit scoring by much. He
pumped in 8 points for AHS. Brett
Edens followed with 6 points and
Logan Dennis added 2.
Allen was locked into a tight
13-11 game in the first quarter.
However, the Mustangs then
exploded for 25 points in the
second period to garner a 38-18
advantage. Allen went out to
outscore the visitors 35-24 during
the second have. That forced the
31-point margin of victory in the
73-42 final.
“We played a really good team
(Davis),” the coach said. “They
were 11-5 and had just won the
Healdton tournament. But we
played an exceptional game and
were hitting on all five cylinders.”
On Tuesday, Allen collected its
21st win in 23 games. However,
the Mustangs were not quite the
same ‘well-oiled machine’ as they
had been Thursday evening. Even
so, they shot down the visiting
New Lima Falcons 53-37 in the
regular-season finale.
Allen led 17-6 after one quarter
and 34-14 at the half. However,
they slowed down in the second
half and were outscored 24-20
over the last two quarters. They
were still able to secure the
16-point margin of victory at
53-37.
Most of the scoring damage
came from Grant Rowsey with 22
points and Brett Edens with 17.
They were the only two Mustangs
to score in double figures. The
rest of the total included Brady

The Allen Lady Mustangs
stumbled in their Thursday
game with the Davis Lady
Wolves. However, Coach Jeremy Strong’s Lady Mustangs
rebounded Tuesday with a
win over the New Lima Falconettes.
Both games were played
at Allen High School, which
will also be the site for this
Saturday’s 2-team district
basketball tournament. Allen
will welcome the Achille Lady
Eagles to town for the district
title game. The two squads
will hit the court at 6:30 p.m.
Friday.
“I don’t know a whole lot
about Achille,” said Coach
Strong. “But our approach is
always more about us and what
we need to focus on. We work
on the things that will make
us a better team. We’ll do that
same thing against Achille.
We’ll go out and do our best
and hope that gets us the district championship.”
Coach Strong praised his
19-4 Lady Mustangs for their
efforts and success leading into
the playoffs.
“They have done a really
good job,” he said. “I am so
proud of them. We came into
the season with the goal of
making it to state. That’s what
we are still aiming for now
that the playoffs have arrived.
Last year, we won the district
championship and got to the
first round of the area tournament. We want to play on this
year and be in the state tournament. If we play hard and do
the things we are capable of
doing, we have as good a shot
as anyone else.”
On Thursday, Allen suffered a 60-41 loss to the visiting Davis Lady Wolves. The
Lady Mustangs fell behind
26-4 in the first quarter. After
that, they settled down and
outscored Davis 37-34 over
the final three quarters. But,
to their dismay, the slow start
spelled doom for their chances
of winning.
Marissa Prentice led the
scoring parade with 13 points.
Aussie Riddle was next with
9 points, just missing double
digits for the Lady Mustangs.
“Credit Davis for coming
in here fired up to play,” said
Coach Strong. “We were not
ready to go when the game
started. You can see how that
worked out for us!”
On Tuesday, Allen was hoping to get back in the win
column in their regular-season
finale. The Lady Mustangs
accomplished that by outlasting the visiting New Lima
Falconettes 49-41.
Allen started off slow again.
However, the Lady Mustangs
erased the 11-6 deficit by outscoring New Lima in each of
the final three quarters. They
were still down 22-18 at halftime and 34-33 at the end of
three quarters. But the Allen
girls took control down the
stretch. They outscored the
Falconettes 16-7 in the fourth
quarter to rally for the 49-41
victory
Amber Coody led the way
to victory with a team-high,
12-point scoring performance.
Marissa Prentice was close
behind with 11 points. The
rest of the scoring list included
Beyla Skelton with 8 points,
and Aussie Riddle, Jocee Bai-

morning worship service was
“He Walked Every Mile for Me”
and was sung by Tom Spillman. Tom was accompanied by James
and Jake Hammonds and Wyatt
Deaton on their guitars. If anyone
had come in late during this song
they would have thought we were
enjoying an informal hymn jam
session since everyone except
Jake was sitting down, but that’s
not the case. It just seemed to be
the right place for all the musicians to be at the time, and Tom
brought the message through loud
and clear.
Rev. Karch’s sermon was on the
topic of accountability and was
based in Ezekiel 33:1-12. He
pointed out that watchmen are
those who warn others if there is
impending danger. If the watchman sounds the alarm and you
don’t heed it, it is your own fault. If the watchman sees the enemy
coming and doesn’t sound the
alarm, then the loss of life is his
fault. Preachers, missionaries, and
other Christians are responsible
for warning lost people around
them. Every Christian can invite
friends, neighbors, and relatives
to church. Doing so is a witness
that you find church important
and that you are concerned for the
soul of the person you invite.
No one knows when the Lord
will return, and there is no guarantee that we have next week,
tomorrow, or even the rest of this
day. Therefore, it is important
that everyone be ready for the
Lord’s return. The Bible tells us
that we are to turn from sin and
warn others to turn from their sin. God doesn’t want anyone, including the wicked, to die in their sin,
and Jesus paid an extremely high
price so that it doesn’t have to
happen. THG-11909

Atwood Nazarene News
Since it was the first Sunday of the month we had our monthly
breakfast. Everyone always enjoys this fellowship before church
services.
We had our Sunday School classes and worshiped God in
prayer and song. Brenda and Jeremy sang our special “Mother
Do Not Cry for Me.” This is a new song with a beautiful message.
Bro Larry’s message was taken from Psalm 147:1-11 and
entitled “How Good it is to Praise God.” We praise God because He is worthy. He is building His kingdom. He heals
the brokenhearted and binds their wounds. He has everything
under control. He has created the universe and sustains it. He
has all power over it. He knows how to help those who are
humbly dependent upon Him. Those who have no strength left
can count on the strength of God.
We all have things for which we can be thankful, friends, family, and health. These and countless other blessings are reasons
for us to sing with thanksgiving. We praise God because it is
good for us. Praising God will build our faith. Praising God
will help build the faith of those who are struggling. Praising
God reminds us of how good God is. Praising God opens the
windows to His love and blessings. We praise God because we
can. He has opened our eyes to enable us to see Him. He has
given us mouths in order to proclaim him. He trusts us to show
him to the world.
Sunday night we had a Superbowl party at Truby and Gary’s.
Even for those of us who are not sports fans, we enjoyed the
food and fellowship. Next Sunday night we will have our annual Valentine’s Banquet.
We invite you to join us in church services Sunday. God will
bless you.
Harmony Missionary
Baptist News
The first Sunday in February at Harmony of Gerty began service
with singing Stand Up, Stand Up For Jesus, give of Your Best to the
Master, and Great Is Thy Faith Fullness. Church trio sang Under His
Wings and He’ll Understand and Say “Well Done.”
Devotional Reading was “Divine Approval” John 12: 27-30. The
adult lesson was “You Matter to Jesus” Mark 14: 3-9, Luke 7:24,28.
Jesus knows your service and its value. Serve God faithfully, trusting Him to reward you. “God is not unrighteous to forget your work
and labour of love, which ye have showed toward His name, in that
ye have ministered to the saints and do minister” Hebrews 6: 10.
Youth lesson was “No Worries” Matthew 6: 25-38. When we turn
everything over to God, He is quick to take care of our worries. We
were thankful to have Hannah in class.
He Touched Me and I’m Standing On the Solid Rock was sung
before the morning message.
Bro. David’s message was on Stephen, the first martyr of Christian
Faith. Acts 7: 51-60. Verse 59: And they stoned Stephen, calling
upon God and saying, Lord Jesus, receive my spirit. And he kneeled
down, and cried with a loud voice, Lord, lay not this sin to their charge.
And when he had said this, he fill asleep.
We were blessed with extra friends, neighbors, and family. We surprised Bro. Albert adding his 95th birthday to our monthly luncheon.
We are blessed to still have him in our Family and Church. We also
added his grandson, David’s 45th birthday and his great-granddaughter
Kylee Tatum’s 18th birthday. David’s is February 4th, Albert’s, February 6th and Kylee’s is February 8th.
We took pictures of Albert’s and David’s large cake and Kylee with
her decorated cookie.
We appreciate and thank you for making Albert’s 95th birthday
special.
There was enough cake and ice cream left to serve Albert and his
neighbors at his retirement home Monday on his birthday.
We pray you have a great week and May God Bless You!

The Allen powerlifters brought home the championship trophy from
last Friday’s meet at Muskogee with a total of 75 points. Known as
the Pullman 360 Classic, the event was held in the Muskogee Civic
Center.
Coach Zack Sullivan was understandably proud of his team. “To
win a meet against that many good teams is a testament to how hard
our guys have been working. Most of the teams there were class A or
2A, so it was nice to see our kids compete so well against the larger
schools.”
