sins and right doing always make
because God has established the
universe as a moral order, and
those who violate the moral law
suffer thereby. Horace Bushnell
said: "We are punished by our
sins and not for them. We are
rewarded by our virtues and not
for them." /
Because God has made the
universe a moral order, sin always
make for misery. Repenting of our
for peace.
PRAYER; Our heavenly Father, we
would come to Thee in true
edge our sins and pray for Thy
edge our sins and pray for Thy
cleansing. We would lay hold
of Thy forgiving love. In Christ’s

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
"Wash me thoroughly from mine
iniquity"
me power of faith, raised to
spiritual understanding, will be
emphasized at Christian Science
services Sunday.
Mark's account of the healing
of the epileptic boy will be read,
concluding with Christ Jesus'
words (9:29): "This kind can come
forth by nothing, but by prayer
and fasting. " The subject of the
Lesson-Sermon is "Matter. "
Selections from "Science and
Health with Key to the Scriptures"
by Mary Baker Eddy will include
this(23:16): "Faith, if it be mere
belief, is as a pendulum swing-
ing between nothing and some-
thing, having no fixity. Faith,
advanced to spiritual under-
standing, is the evidence gained
from Spirit, which rebukes sin of
every kind and establishes the
claims of God. "
The Golden Text is from Colos-
sians (3:2): "Set your affection
on things above, not on things on
earth." 5

Read Psalm 32: 1-5
For we are consumed by thine
anger, and by thy wrath are we
troubled. (Psalm 90:7)
A certain atheistic farmer once
proposed to demonstrate that he
could violate the laws of God
without suffering any serious
effect. Accordingly, he cultivated
an acre of ground entirely upon
the Lord's Day in deliberate vi-
olation of the Fourth Command-
ment. At the end of the season he
reaped a good harvest and boasted
of what he had done. A pious old
neighborsaid to him: "Remember,
Goa doesn't always pay in Octo-
ber, but He always pays. "
This is the common experience
of humanity. God always pays.
Human misery, as Psalm 90 sug-
gests, follows in the wake of hu-
man sin. Early man interpreted
human misery as a result of God’s

A Texas Ranger, tradition has it, must ride like a Mexican, trail like an Indian, shoot like a
Tennesseean and fight like a devil. William Jesse McDonald was just such a man. He was the
lone lawman who answered the call for a company of Rangers with, "You ain’t got but one
mob, have you?” Born in "Bloody Kemper” County, Mississippi, 1812, McDonald’s first 3>
years were restless, roving. But on the roiling plains of Hardeman county in 1881, he came
into his own. As Deputy Sheriff he established a reputation for fearless law enforcement,
expert marksmanship and lightning quick disarming of opponents. Soon he was a special
Ranger, then a U. S. Deputy Marshal — and the McDonald iegend was a-building. Governor
Hogg made him Captain of Co. B, Frontier Battalion, in 1891. And it was Bill McDonald who
was chosen to guard and go wolf hunting with President Teddy Roosevelt in 190S. Later he
guarded Woodrow Wilson on a trip to Texas. The salty-talking Captain Bill delighted them
both. With a good fighting Scots name, he had a fine face lined with sun, wind and character,
mild blue eyes, soft voice and a suddenness” that made him irresistible to friend or
enemy. Since 1918 Ranger Captain Bill McDonald has been
Respected and honored, the Texas lawman today still
safeguards our lives and liberty. And in this vigorous
and freedom minded homeland, where "Beer Belongs/'
the United States Brewers Foundation works constantly,
in confunctlon with brewers, wholesalers and retailers, to
assure the sale of beer and ale under pleasant, orderly
conditions. Believing that strict law enforcement aerves
the best interest of Texans, the Foundation stresses close
cooperation with the Armed Forces, law enforcement and
governing officials.
