NEW TEXAS ALMANAC
SHOWS TEXAS KKMAKk-
ABl.K DEVELOPMENT
Great economic and social changes
are revealed in data presented by the
11*43-1944 edition of the Texus Alnian.
ac, which has just been published by
The Dallas Morning News. Approxi-
mately 400,000 rural Texans have
shifted to urban residence and voca-
tion since the last census of 1940. For
the first time in the history of the
state, the majority of population is
now urban, according to information
! in the new volume. More remarkable
| relatively, has been the industrial ex-
I pansion due to the founding of mu-
nitions, rubber, shipbuilding, aviation
and other war industries. Texas’
manufacturing output lias expanded
much during the last three years
as in all preceding history.
Mineral production has also been
greatly stimulated. Last official fig-
ure on value of nil mineral produced
was X'.>4.211,150 in It'll, placing Tex-
as far ahead of any other state. On
basis of partial reports, the Texas A!
inanac estimates total value of min. (
orals produced in
one billion dollars. While petro
leum. natural gas and natural gasoline
counted for most of the production.
Texas would rank high among the
states without the oil group. During
last two years, there has been rapid
increase in the number of minerals
produced in Texas, and in 1942 there
was commercial output of more than
sixty different kinds.
Next to the greatly increased man-
ufacturing and mining production,
military activity has had the most no-
table effect on recent Texas develop-
ments. While reasons of military
secrecy prevent release of some in-
formation, the new Texas Almanac
lists twenty-two major Armp camps,
in addition to which there are more
than fifty Army aviation fields. At
San Antonio and Corpus Christi, the
Army and Napy have, respectively,
their greatest training centers.
While the chapters on military ac-
tivities and industrial expansion are
the principal items of current interest,
the new Texas Almanac is essentially
the all-round reference book that it
hu- been, ranging through the whole
field of Texas' historical, civic and e-
conomic data. The date of the bat-
tle of the Alamo, the cotton produc-
tion of Jones County, the name of the
State Comptroller, the number of deer
killed ir. Texas in 1942 and thousands
of other classes of information in as
widely diversified fields can be found
on its pages.
The Texas Almanac is a biennial
.publication, and the new volume is for
txvo years, 1943 and 1944. It is
bound in paper at 60c on newsstands,
75c by mail; also in cloth at $1 on
newsstands and $1.15 by’ mail.

OCR WEEKLY SERMON
VICTORY GARDENS
By the Rev. Warren Filkin, Ph. L’.,
Member of Faculty Moody Bible In-
stitute.
The other day I saw a window dis-
play advertising victory gardens, with
the reminder: “Take up the battle in
your own back yard.”
After I passed tha sign I wondered
if this was not what the Lord Jesus
had reference to xvlien He said, “But
ye - hall receive power, after that the
Holy Ghost is come upon you; and
ye shall be witnessed unto me both
Samaria, and unto the uttermost part
in Jerusalem, and in all Judea, and in
of the earth’’ (Acts 1:8). The ex-
pression, "Ye shall be witnesses unto
me in Jerusalem”, was the one that
this window display brought to my
mind. “Take up the battle in your
own backyard.” Jerusalem was the
backyard for the disciples, and where-
ever we live is our backyard for wit-
nessing for Christ.
We are to begin at home to wit-
ness for the Lord Jesus. What is
good for us is good for ourloved ones
What is good for our neighbors, for
the grocery clerk in the store on the
corner, for the druggist, for the fill-
ing station attendant. We are to be
Erhibit A regarding the power of the
gospel, to those who know us best.
There are many people who would
like to witness for Christ in Africa,
or at least in some distant part of the
United States, who have been fearful
or unwilling to pay the price of wit-
nessing for Christ in their own back-
yard. Could it be that the people in
’ your block know you too well to be-
lieve that the power of the gospel is
operating in your life, Is there one
who should not be willing to wit-
ness for a loving, merciful, gracious
Savior, the Son of God, He went all
the way to Cavalry for us? Is there
! someone in your backyard wvo is wait-
ing for you to speak the Word of Life

BAPTIST PASTOR WILL
CONDUCT ONE MONTH
REVIVAL AT ORANGE
The congregation of the Baptis*
Church have graciously consented to
give Rev. J. C. Tolbirt, their pastor,
a one month leave of absence, to al-
low him to go to Orange, Texas, wherj
ho Ims been called by the State Hnuid
to eonduct a Revival among the de-
fense workers, from June 14 to July
| 15th.
There are thousands of workers in
and around the Orange shipbuilding
center many of whom are Baptists,
und since going to Orange, have neg-
lected their church and are coniplettly :
out of service of the Lord according j
to Rev. Tolldrt. This is the beginning |
of an effort to re-enlist those folks
and revitalize their Christian exper-
ience.
In the Government housing centers
there are large recreational halls,
complete with seats, pianos and other
facilities; the use of these halls will
greatly aid ill this crusade.
There will he daily Vocational Bible

AMERICAN HEROES
BY LEFF
In the evenings in the Evangelistic
Service a strenuous and direct effort
shall he made to reach as many for
Christ as possible, together with the
pressure brought to hear on the un-
enlisted Christians to identify them-
selves with the church in Orange ami
therefore be of service in the King-
dom of God.
This is indeed a tremendous task,
but worthy of success in every way.
The prayers of every Christian are
requested that the Holy Spirit shall
give success and victory in this very
needful and necessary work. i

X than you paid for them through the actual
service they can give you now during war
days. There just won't be any more irons,

while war lasts.
The situation is serious. It’s so serious, you
should take every possible step now to save
what you have and make it last. Appliance
Repair is not as easy to get as in pre-war days,
but you can still get service and if you have
difficulty finding it, we'll try to help you.

Don't expect your service man to pick up
and deliver small appliances for repair. Take
them in to your dealer or repair shop before
it's too late. Remember that Electricity is not
rationed, and while you don’t want to waste it,
that the service is still there to help you.
Just cleaning, adjusting and oiling (don't
oil heating appliances) may be all your equip-
ment needs. Fans should be taken out now,
cleaned and oiled. Toasters, mixers and other
items should be checked the moment they fail
to respond properly. It’s smart, it’s patriotic
to preserve well what you have.
