MULLIN, MILLS COUNTY, TEXAS, THURSDAY, AUGUST 3, 1933.

METHODIST CHURCH
Leon D. Brown, Minister
Notice members of the Meth-
odist church: Three new records
set at the church Sunday. 1. Not
a single member of the senior
board of stewards there. 2. Over
100 missing from the morning
and night services. 3. Three new
people there that had not been
there before! Sunday school was
enjoyed by the few that came.
A great lesson. Why did you not
attend. Did you stay at home to
spite someone? Did you just stay
at home because you do not care
for the church. The best way in
the world to kill a church is for
the membership to remain at
home on Sunday morning. Your
place was empty Sunday. Try to
come next Sunday morning. Be
looking for you.
Next week we will be in a
meeting with Alvin Mauldin at
Burkett, Texas.
The Methodist revival will be-
gin the first of Steptember.
Check the date. Get ready to
help. Watch this space for the
name of the evangelist who is
going to do the preaching and
and lead the singing.
Do you have time to read this
and then do a wee bit of think-
ing? The title is “Growing
Things.” Two things that grow
on a man are whiskers and hab-
its. About the whiskers a man
cannot do much. Of course, you
can grab the burmashave and
the safety razor and go to work
or if you like the old way best,
you can get the straight razor
and the Williams soap and saw
away. You can get them off very
close, but next morning they will
be back. One thing that can be
said for the whiskers is that
they never give up. If we would
keep on growing in faith and
persistence we might reach a
greater height in our efforts.
Habits are different! A man
can determine what kind of
habits shall grow on him. He
can root out the bad ones and
give the good ones a chance to
grow.
Wouldn’t it be great if all the
church people here would form
the habit of going to church on
Sunday.
Yes, habits, like whiskers, will
grow on a mfcn. The right kind
of a person sees to it that only
helpful habits are given a
chance to grow.
We wonder if there are any
Methodists in Mullin who are
growing long whiskers of non-
attendance at the services. Sure
you have excuses ready. But
when you examine them they
are really so silly they are sim-
ple and the devil laughs with
glee at the way he has you fool-
ed. If you have been neglecting
the church, and have not been
in a long, long time, shave off
the whiskers of non-attendance
and come on. If some men treat-
ed their wives like they treat the
church and some wives treated
their husbands like they treat
the church, well, figure it out
for yourself. .

SOCIAL EVENT
At 8:30 Tuesday evening a
group of young people assem-
bled at the home of Miss Teet
Fletcher.
Immediately after their arriv-
al games were started. A conver-
sation game was played, which
interested the guests immense-
ly. Snap was also played. The
radio furnished music for the
occasion.
About 10:30 the guests chose
partners and were directed into
the dining room, where refresh-
ments, consisting of delicious
punch and wafers was served.
The guests departed at a late
hour, wishing for another simi-
lar entertainment soon.

WHAT ABOUT THE
BOYS AT HOME
Co-operation — a word that
means everything to the busi-
ness life of a small community.
The merchants of the small
towns have had a tremendous
battle, as well as their custo-
mers. for existence these last
few years. Co-operation is es-
sential to the welfare of any
business.
The other day while in Brown-
wood, going there to get our
glasses adjusted, country boy
like, we had to see the town.
After walking some blocks we
decided we were in Mullin. We
met several persons from Mul-
lin. In one store five were buy-
ing items that any of the mer-
chants here at home handle. In
nearly each case, the ones we
would meet had bundles under
their arms. Then the other day
while spending a few minutes in
Goldthwaite, as we were on our
way to Center City, would you
believe it or not, the same thing
occurred. Thus, the above cap-
tion, “What About the Boys
(merchants) at Home?”
One of the important reasons
for trading at home is to keep
the money circulating at home.
You who go to other towns and
cities to do your trading do not
realize how much you harm
Mullin. Do the merchants of
other towns pay the taxes for
Mullin? Of course not—you and
the merchants have them to pay
—when we can! Trade at home
for awhile and notice the im-
provement in the stores. A large
trade would allow him to stock
a greater variety of items as well
as lower the prices. He could
soon have the store looking more
modern, sanitary, convenient,
attractive and inviting.
A small town business offers
to you many conveniences that
you should be thankful for, and
you should show your apprecia-
tion for this by trading right
here in Mullin. Think of how the
boys at home have pulled for
the community. They worked
for the telephone, electricity,
good roads, Look at your school
and churches.Have not the home
town boys done their part in
supporting them? Don’t they
boost the school? They help the
churches, They work for the best
interest of Mullin. Take them
out of our midst and ‘you v/ill
soon realize what “The Boys at
Home” means to Mullin.
Buy at Home.

Mullin.

sociation will meet with the

lowship time. We suggest that

BAPTIST CHURCH
The Sunday school lesson is
about Ruth. This noble charac-
ter had troubles all her own. Her
husband dies, after which she is
confronted with the difficult de-
cision as to whether to return
to her people or go with her
mother-in-law into a strange
country. If Ruth had not have
been a woman who lived close to
God, she no doubt, would have
taken the easier path, but be-
ing a prayerful person she knew
that God would lead her, altho
the way looked dark and uncer-
tain. She gave up her gods, her
people, her country and faced
ridicule. Later she was to become
the ancestor of our Loi^d and
Savior Jesus Christ.
Go to Sunday school with oth-
ers and hear this story discuss-
ed. It’s a great lesson.
