hens ate twice as much Lay Chow
Checker-Etts as Lay Chow mash. Hens
like Checker-Etts better. They eat more.
This helps keep production uniformly
high. Feed Lay Chow Checker-Etts with

over mash 2 to 1. Get a supply today.

and will be successor to the Federal
Council of Churches in America
with an enlarged and more inclus-
ive program of action, according to
the Rev. Mr. Seymour.
Among prominent; speakers to be
heard at the significant gathering

the Yale Divinity School; Toyohiko
Kagawa of Japan; Dr. Ralph W
Sockman of New York City; Bish-1
op John A. Cregg of the African

A. Visser ’tHooft of Holland, genii
eral secretary of the World Coun-ll
cil of Churches. 11
The general theme of the meet-11
ing will be “This Nation Under 11
God.” I
The following were ordained in a
simple but solemn service: Archie
Crittenden, S. B. Armstrong, Minor
Berry, C. E. Irby, C. L. Mohon Jr.,
A. C. Craig, Edward Rogers, W. W.
Kirk and Al Strasner,
The pastor, Rev. T. J. Sparkman
opened the service by reading and
quoting passages of scripture bear-
ing upon such duties and obligations
as were to be assumed and intro-
duced Deacon R. A. Springer of
Dallas whose wide experience and
responsible position gave weight to
his words. Mr. Springer has been
treasurer of the State Baptist Con-
vention for many years, handling
and allocating funds for the various
working arangements of the Church
which annually amount to some
$60,000,000.00 and besides this work
goes out over the State and speaks,
or preaches, almost every Sunday.
In this age of confusioh and un>
certainity the question of our peo-
ple, especially our leaders, turning
more and more to trust in God and
to christain faith was stressed by
the speaker. Mr. Springer spoke
from a life long experience and ob-
servation, his dedicatory address be-
ing one of the most powerful ad-
dresses that has been made in De
Leon for some time and will be
remembered a long time.
The unusual feature was in that
a great number were dedicated to
this service and that all of them
were young men who must step into
the places that older men in this
service have so ably performed. The
striking fact that young men are
harnessed, so to speak, in this work,
is not to be charged to any lack of
interest or regard for the services
of those who may have grown older.
On the other hand, it is a compli-
ment of the highest degree for the
work that has been accomplished
by those who have gone before in ,
I that they have wrought well in laying
I foundation in Christian service which .
