Don't forget the installation of Rev. Collins next Sunday at 3:00 p.m. in Williamsburg. Announcements Continued Don't forget next Sunday night we will have the tape recording of our choirs singing and Dr. Martin Luther King's address. SOME THINGS WORTH REPEATING Don't think that YOU are the only ONE that can do RIGHT. Don't expect anyone to beg your PARDON when YOU have done WRONG. Don't try and fight or block anyone's success,. It might impede your own. Don't hate anyone because of what you HEAR, give everyone a fair and impartial trial and when you have heard BOTH sides, maybe you will be in for a big surprise. Don't GIVE someone a stick to crack your head and then get angry WHEN they USE it.
