"Mind” is the subject of the
Lesson Sermon which will be
read in all Churches of Christ,
Scientist, on Sunday, February
23 at 11 a. m.
The Golden Text is: "The fear
of the Lord is the beginning of
wisdom: and the knowledge of
the holy is understanding.”
"Great is our Lord, and of
great power; his understanding
is infinite.”
“There can be but one Mind,,
because there is but one God;
and if mortals claimed no other
Mind and accepted no other, sin
would be unknown. We can have
but one Mind, if that one is in-
finite.”

My Friends, we are standing
at the portal of Lent season, in
which all faithful Christians are
earnestly meditating upon the
Life and Death-of Jesus Christ.
The true Christian will observe
the old custom of the Church to
abstain during this season from
worldly pleasures and selfish en-
tertainments. Let us be willing to
follow the Lord in self-denial, in
service to the poor and needy.
Your servant of the Lord
Rev. Richard Schuetze.

of joy, happiness and thankful-
ness was made to rise up in the

Display And Fly
The Texes Flag
The Lavaca County Centennial
Board urges upon all communi-
ties in the county to display
Texas flags beginning March 2.
Important events in Texas his-
tory will be celebrated within
the coming months and let there
be a liberal display of the Lone
Star flag. These flags will be
lavishly used throughout the
year. It is hoped the merchants
will at once stock them. Let the
business houses display them,
the schools and let the "Bonnie
Blue Flag” fly from every flag
staff on the anniversary days, so
outstanding in the history of our
state. r
A Salute to Texas
The NBC studios on a nation-
wide net work will give a Salute
bery around the church building, to Texas, tonight, Thursday at 8
Many thanks, again and again,
are unto them for this interest
and work toward the beautifica-
tion of our Church plot. Let us
all be happy and thankful for
their works of interest and be
likewise inspired to perform a
feat of love for our Master.
Also the membership has res-
ponded so well in subscribing to
our Baptist Standard. Soon the
paper will be coming into a dozen
of the homes of the member-
ship, placing it in the immediate
homes of 17 of the membership.
The earnest desire is that it will
soon'be accessible to every mem-
ber of the -church.
Services on last Lord’s Day
were well attended, for which
thanks are extended to every
one who attended, and the pray-
er ^reathed that each one could
honestly say "I am glad I could
come.” Some 21 were present at
each service.
The unified budget was adopted
by the church in conference, and
we are looking forward to a year
of joyfnl labors for our Christ.—
