over one hundred. Sunday dinners
did not keep many at home; visitors
compensated for absentees. While
there were white flowers in evi-
dence, most people seemed happy
that their Mothers were still with
them, as indicated by the predomi-
nance >of red flowers. "O Mother
when I think of thee, 'Tis but a
step to Calvary, Thy gentle hand
upon my brow is leading me .to
Jesus Now." Songs were appropri
ate. Mr. John D. Hanes rendered a
violin offertory, That Wonderful
Mother of Mine, accompanied by
Mrs. Hanes at the piano.
Pastor L. L. Burkhalter's sermon
topic was, "The World's Greatest
Mother—Mary, the Mother of Je-
sus." He declared that Mary had
been misunderstood through the
ages—indeed a few have slandered
her as they also have her Son, Je-
sus. Reacting from the deification
Of her by some, multitudes have
neglected the Mother of our Lord.
Her noble character and intrinsic
worth justly give her a high place
in the world's esteem. Her "highly
favored" position as the Mother of
our Lord makes it appropriate that
all nations call her "Blessed."
Speaking of the "Virgin Birth"
of Jesus, the Pastor declared that
it was the most rational or reason-
able explanation ever offered of
an incarnation of God. It is an am-
ple explanation of the union of two
natures, the human and the Divine.
Such theories as that Jesus was in-
dwelt by God, after His birth, are
inadequate. That would be an in-
dwelling but an incarnation. God
indwells all believers, who are
"partakers of the Divine nature,"
yet this does not make them Divine
or equal with God. Jesus was the
only sinless and Divine Son ever
born of woman. Moreover His char-
acter, teachings, miracles, resur-

rection, all attest His miraculous
birth, and vindicate Mary.
Mary pondered the sayings of
angels, shepheds, priphets wise men
and of Jesus Himself, in her heart.
If she kept a Baby Book, we would
expect it to be filled with these
wonderful sayings. She would also
note the facts of His remarkable
growth in stature, wisdom, and "in
favor with God and men." Being
human and limited in her under-
standing she appeared shocked at
times with His conduct and speech.
Throughout His life Simeon's
Sword hung over her head. On one
occasion she seemed to have fear-
ed, as did His friends, that He
might be beside Himself, when He
was so absorbed with His work
that food and rest were neglected.
At Calvary she stood thrust
through with Simeon's Sword. We
can well imagine her agony. She
would have remained with Him dur
ing those six terrible hours, but
on His instructions John took her
away to his own home.
What was in her thoughts dur-
ing those silent hours He spent in
the tomb. Did she expect Him to
rise? The record is silent, His dis-
ciples certainly did not anticipate
His resurrection. Did He appear to
her, after His resurrection, as He
did to her son James and many
other witnesses? We are left to
surmise. The last glimpse we have
of Mary is in the upper room at
Pentecost. Her hope that He would
establish an everlasting Kingdom
has been revived. She is waiting
with that band of 120 disciples. She
has a happy, united family. Her
heart had daubtless been deeply
pained by the unbelief of His bro-
thers—John 7:5— but now they are
with her—Acts 1:14—awaiting the
fulfillment of His and the Father's
promise to endue them with the
Holy Spirit and with power. She
must have exulted in Peter's great
Pentecostal sermon. Her glorified
and exalted Son, the eternal Son
of God will yet triumph over all
His foes.
Sunday was the pastor's first
anniversary, and incidentally, his
natal Day. His sister-in-law, Mrs.
A. A. Burkhalter, gave him a birth-
day dinner.
The Scripture Gleaners, a Class
of Young Ladies, taught by Mrs.
H. C. Ratcliff, were made happy by
the receipt, last Sunday, of a sub-
stantial gift from Mrs. Louis Wil-
liams of Texarkana, former mem-
ber of the class, Mrs. Williams is
the daughter of Dr. and Mrs. J. N.
White, and the gift was in memory
of the donor's Mother. Mrs. W. D.
Mapp was the bearer of this gift.
It will be used to purchase a table
and other needed equipment.
A Vacation Bible School will be
held at the Haptist Church, June
5-16. Students from 4 to 16 years
of age will be enrolled. A faculty
•of some twenty persons are on pro-
cess of being secured. Miss Tenett
Lavender, volunteer for Home Mis-
sion Work, and adopted daughter
of the Enon W. M. U., now a stu-
dent at Southwestern Seminary at
Fort Worth, will assist.
Glad to have T. C. Julian of Ty-
ler, a former member of our church
play the piano for our singing Sun
day night services.
Married—
Miss Exa Ann Foster left Satur-
day for Hearne, Texas, to meet Mr.
Avery House. There .they were mar
ried at 7:30 p. m. Mr. and Mrs.
j House will leave Hearne Sunday
! and go to Austin where Mr. House
is employed.

Old Heads know how to make
Texas telephones talk...
Your telephone In Tesas Is
served by folks who learned
their trade in the school of
experience ... By men who
know the feel of a sleet-lash-
ed pole In a wintry wind...By
women to whom the state's
vast copper network of three
million miles of wire is as
an open book.
Of the 8,700 employees who
watch day and night over this
company's lines in Texas,
nearly 4,500 have at least 10
years of telephone experience.
More than 1,000 of these have
been in the business for 20
years or longer, and a small
group of 186 veterans count
their years of telephone serv-
ice at 30 and more.
From department heads
down, their friendly "know

ence, plays a vital part in giv-
ing fast, dependable tele-
phone service, at a price that
is reasonable to you.
