Miss Gatlin Tells Self Culture
Club Where Peace May Be Found
“The Road To Blthynla,” a
book by Ffank G. Slaughter,
was reviewed by Miss Love Gat-
lin, teacher, of history in the
Goldthwaite High School, at a
meeting of the Self Culture Club
at the Jennie Trent Dew Li-
brary on Thursday afternoon of
last week.
Before Miss Gatlin's, .review,
Mrs. Ray” Duron spoke on “The
Six Meanest Women In Pier
tl'on.”
The hostesses for the meet-
ing. at which a number of
guests were present, were Mrs.
Marsh Johnson, Miss Dera
Humphries and Mrs. J. C Evans.
The book that was reviewed
by Miss Gatlin was the dra-
matic story of Luke—“Biblical
physician and chronicler of the
life of Christ.” She traced the
story from its beginning In
Jerusalem'throughout the life
of Luke and emphasized that
its chief lesson resolved Itself
into the search of a man for
peace in a tempestuous age.
Woven into the story were
the characters of Peter, the
chosen representative of..Jesus;
Herod, tho licentious and
treacherous King Of the Jews;
Paul, the most zealous mission-
ary of the New Gospel; Steph-
en, and many others.
In answering, the question as
to the identity of Blthynla,
Miss Gajlin said it was a pro-
vince on the Black Sea where
t'he people were "forever hap-
py" and where “those who are
contented are always young.”
Ritfiynia had been described to
I,uke by Silvanus as a beautiful
land and he had so described il'
because Luke was looking for
“somewhere on earth where
man remains forever young, as
some of the philosophers have
claimed.”, *
Later, after his talk with
Silvanus, Luke was thinking
about Birthynia after he had
unrolled his sleeping rug on the
balcony outside his chamber
and he came to realize that no
matter what the allure of
Blthynla might be, "the only
really happy people he had seen
had one thing ini common—
they were followers lof Jesus the
Nazarene.”
Miss Gatlin said that the
point about the book she review-
ed was its teaching that peace
is a place of mind and heart to
be found in the teachings of
Jesus.

M. C. KOEPF, Mgr.
A. F. Shelton Toils
On 81st Birthday
.....A. F. ShellCfi of Mullln, who
jocularly describes himself as
"the youngest merchant In
Mills County,” celebrated his
81st birthday anniversary on
Wednesday of this week by
“working as usual.”
Mr Shelton, who was born lrr
North Carolina), came to Texas
when he was 12 He has lived
In Mullln for nearly 51 years.
Next September will mark the
58th anniversary df his mar-
riage to the former Cecil Coffey
of Zephyr. Their children are
Mrs. Ernest Hancock and A. F.
Shelton, Jr., both of Dallas;
Dew Shelton of Mullln, John
Shelton of Tomball, Mrs. Bob
Hughes of Waco and Homer
Shelton of California. -
As he looked forward to his
birthday Mr. Shelton was in
some doubt as to whether he
would have a party or even a
birthday cake. Here’s hoping you
were surprised, Mr. Shelton.

McCasland’s Hat
That hat that Homer McCas-
land lost on the Saturday be-
fore Christmas Is back on his
own head and the hat that he
had in its place is back where
It belongs—on the he^d of John
Straley, who never had noticed
that he had the wrong hat until
he read about the situation In
last week’s Eagle. The exchange,
which set matters right, was
made at Yarborough St Duren’s,
who were happy to act as Inter-
mediaries for the sake of good
customer relations and the pub-
licity Involved.
—Eagle Want Ad* Get Results—
Back in the rfays of the Pony
Express news got around much
faster than during the personal
lives and times of Mr. and Mrs.
Walter R. Langston, Jr., form
erly of Goldthwaite and now of
Cahoma.
When Brother Langston was
assistant to the Pastor of the
First Baptist Church in Goldth-
waite it took dynamite, scream-
ing, hollering and tearing of
hair to get news out of him be-
fore it was six weeks to two or
three months old He has not
changed in the slightest since
he moved to Cahoma, where he
and Mrs. Langston have been
teaching school and where
Brother Langston also has-lieen
an athletic coach.
The reason for this essay is
that a son, Stanley Paul, weight
five pounds and four ounces,
was born to Brother and Mrs.
Langston LAST NOVEMBER 28.
During the Christmas holidays,
a month later, the Rev. J. T.
Ayers, Pastor of the First Bap-
tist Church in Goldthwaite, was
notified of the arrival of the
heir, to the Lamgston fortunes.
Brother Ayers was notified, also,
that Stanley Paul was ready to
stand inspection. Brother Ayers
remembered to tell the Eagle
about Stanley Paul this week—
but he did NOT know whether
the young man has red hair—
as certainly he should.
Mr. and Mrs. Louis Hardin of
Hardin are Stanley Paul’s ma-
ternal grandparents. His* patern-
al grandparents are Mr. and
Mrs. W. R. Langston, Sr., of
Temple.
A copy of this earth-shaking
announcement is being sent to
Mommle and Daddy Langston
by tortoise.
