October Bulletin
Autumn
The trees in vale & forest
are robed in garments bright;
They do foretell the season in
autumn’s pleasant light.
The green of spring & summer
has turned to red & gold.
Whence comes
these tints so glorious which now the trees unfold?
An artist may be skillful, but
hardly can portray
These trees in autumn’s splendor,
in colorful array.
The gold & brown &
crimson, the scarlet with the green,
These colors, all resplendent,
are made by Hands unseen.
Before the winds of autumn have
blown leaves to the earth,
We see their golden virtues,
their beauty & their worth.
O, listen, little leaflets, as
autumn days grow cold,
As to the earth you’re falling, a
lesson you unfold:
May I, when life if ended, as a
tree in autumn’s glow
When back to earth I’m falling,
such golden virtues show.

Gifts of Love
This
will be our fifth year for Gifts of
Love which provides Christmas gifts to the needy in our Tremont
Community. If you are interested in
participating, there are informational sheets in the communication area at
church or contact Renee Kaiser.
Domestic Center Open House
The Domestic Center
is a training school in Les Cayes,
Haiti which
operates nearby where our own missionaries work. The school specializes in teaching Haitian
women the domestic arts. We will be
displaying some of the linens, needlework, & other handmade items … such as
purses, bags, sweaters, etc. By selling
these items to Americans, we hope to assist these women in the daunting task of
providing for their families in one of the poorest countries in the world. The Domestic Center Open House will take
place at the FH on Friday, November 6th from 3:00-9:00 p.m. & Saturday, November 7th
from 9:00-12:00 Noon.

Mirror of the Soul
Humility
makes a man peaceable among his brethren, fruitful of doing good, cheerful in
suffering and constant in holy living.
Humility makes us qualified for the highest service that we owe to
Christ and at the same time is not neglectful of the lowliest service to the
saint in the most modest of circumstances.
Humility can be content with the poorest of fare and yet will have a
special liking for the choicest tidbit, as with God, with Christ and be
entertained majestically. Humility makes
one willing and ready to bless him who curses him and to pray for him who
persecutes him. A humble heart is an
abode of God, a disciple of Christ, a companion of angels, a storage utensil
for grace, and is prepared for glory.
Humility is the attentive nurse or guardian of our grace and gifts and
the mighty spur to consecrated exercise of duty.
