Hi 1^ ^ THE OLD FOLKS' HOME of the SOUTHERN ILLINOIS CONFERENCE METHODIST EPISCOPAL CHURCH Lawrenceville, Illinois ''Loving Care for Sunset Years^' The purpose of Jesus in coming to earth was to give life. One of the principal features of His ministry was to prolong life and to contribute to the happiness of those who came to Him. It is the purpose of the Old Folks' Home to provide those necessities and comforts and that loving care that lighten the burdens of the sunset years. Thus life is prolonged and the deeds of mercy which the Master began are continued in His name. It is your privilege to have a part in this beautiful Christian service. A memorial to departed friends or loved ones or a tribute to the living can very fittingly be made in establishing a memorial room in the Home. No monument could be more appropriate. The Board is offering an attractive proposition in Annuity Bonds which pay a good income during life. No taxes, no rise and fall in the market, no will to probate. An investment that is a benevolence. In making your will include the Old Folks' Home as a beneficiary, using the corporate title which appears at the head of this page. A memorial bequest is a tribute to the departed and a perpetual service to the living. Inquiries concerning wills, memorials, and annuities should be addressed to C. C. HALL, Acting Supt. LAWRENCEVILLE, ILLINOIS or Robert Morris, Field Secretary, Lawrenceville, 111.
