INCOME TAX FORMS TO
BE MAILED 8HORTLY
The 1955 income tax forms and
instructions to individual tax-
payers will be mailed between
December 27 and January 10
from Kansas City, C. B. Dixon,
administrative officer-in-charge,
in Wichita Falls, Texas, an-
nounced this week.
"Taxpayers should postpone
their inquiries regarding these
forms until after January 10th,"
he said.
"Taxpayers receiving t a x
blanks and instructions by mail
should not misplace or discard
them, but should save them for
use in filing their tax returns,
since the supply, of instructions
pamphlets is limited," he added.

shows a few changes which
make the return easier to com-
plete. • A new tax table for
married taxpayers fling jointly
eliminates the complicated com-
putation on the return for fi-
guring tax on -split incomes.
Farmers who file and pay es-
timated taxes by the January
15, 1956, deadline may also
obtain the forms .they require at
district and local offices. Most
post offices have a supply of
tax forms for local residents.

the good old American bill.

NEXT SUNDAY'S LESSON—AND YOU!
Br REV. w. E. DKntmSON
Pastor, Peaebek Baptist Church
LESSON TEXT: Luke 11:29-44.
SUBJECT: Jesus Rebukes In-
sincerity.
THIS WEEK'S EMPHASIS:
Luke 11:29—"And when the
people were gathered thick to-
gether, He began, to say. This is
an evil generation: They seek a
sign; and there shall no sign be
given it, but the sign of Jonas
the prophet."

the religionists of His day that
crucified Him. It was the' Mat
in Roman law that passed by on
the other side, rather than fight
for a Just man in whom there
was no wrong. Yes. it was in*
sincerity at its highest; a good
front, but nothing inside.
TODAY'S LESSON FOR YOU:
l. The first thought that I
wish to bring to the front is that
of Insincerity yt the so-called
religious revival of our day.
Prevalent among our greatest
statesmen l a religious empha-
sis of insincerity. Jt makes no

difference what it is. That is
the devil's greatest weapon to-
ward the destruction of truth as
seen in Jesus Christ. Also
God is being set fprth as some
sort of pepper-upper. Just lis-
ten to some of the songs and
things that come out of Holly-
wood, such as "The Good Old
Man Upstairs" and so forth.
What a shame to ever claim in
serious thinking thst such is an
indication of a movement toward
God.
2. The next thought concern-
ing our subject of insincerity is
sign seeking- H I were to put
up s tent in any town or city
and adventise that I knew when
and-what Russia is going to do,
according to God's word, I would
have ii tent full the first night.
i Just tot me advertise that
thert would only be gpod gospel
preaching, and I dare say there
would not be more than a hand-
ful. Many today think they can
put off Christ until the last

You cannot liv* ith your sins
and think thwt God is going to
wait around or give you special
your time it up.
