Mottoes

Whatsoever thy hand and feet find to do, do it on time and, timely, and do it with all thy might and main. - Eccl. 9:10. 2 Tim. 4:2. 2 Sam. 18:19-32.

Religion is Safety, Sanity, Self Preservation and Unselfish Serving Service.

Get Friendly - it pays as it goes, and stores up dividents.

Make this Yearly Meeting the "Meeting of your Life."

"Get Busy," be busy - not for Satan, nor a "busy body in other men's matters."

"It is not so important that God be upon our side as it is that we be upon God's side." - A. Lincoln.

If "there never was a bad peace nor a good war," why the "Sword devour forever?"

Plainfield is "no mean" Suburban City.
