H. Engeling, Pastor

Divine Worship at 11:00 a. m.
In next Sunday morning’s service
we plan to pay our humble respects
to one of our war dead, Pfc. Rhein-
hold Eschberger, who made the sup-
reme sacrifice for his country in
France last July. All members of his
family and friends of the same are
extended a cordial invitation to at-
tend this memorial service.
Last Sunday was truly a red letter
day in the life of our congregation.
The Sunday School children brought
missionary offerings amounting to
more than $28.00 and the congrega-
tion raised the best offering ever for
the cause of missions. Attendance at
Sunday School and services was good.
Rev. Tillmanns of Giddings brought
a most appropriate and well-timed
address. All glory be to God for
the blessings we received in Sunday
School and services on the first Sun-
day in October.

MAKE Full USE of the LIGHT YOU HAVE!
By arranging furniture and lamps care-
fully, you can often make one lamp serve
two or more people effectively. But be sure
it isn’t too far away from either! A differ-
ence of twelve inches can reduce the light
you get by as much as 50 per cent

$50.00 FINE TO THROW
TRASH IN BAR DITCHES
People are warned against throw-
ing trash of any kind in the drainage
ditches on the side of public roads.
This is a misdemeanor charge, with
a $50.00 fine, and will hereafter be
strictly enforced.
• This is necessary to protect car
owners, for when the grader cleans
out these ditches, it throws hotties,
tin cans, nails, etc., which have been
thrown in the ditches, up on the road
bed and tires are frequently ruined
by running over these obstacles.

Gospel preaching by B. A. Hays,
11:00 a. m. and 7:30 p. m.
When David became old and strick-
in years, Adonijah usurpeth the king-
dom. Then Nathan made it known
unto David and he had Solomon
anointed king. Solomon ask the
Lord to give him an understanding
heart to judge the people and to dis-
cern between good and bad; God not
only gave him wisdom, but also riches
and honor. Solomon built a beauti-
ful temple using much brass and gold.
King Solomon loved strange women
and they caused him to turn away
from the Lord and go after other
gods. For this sin the Lord said He
would take ten tribes of the kingdom
from Solomon’s’ son, and give to
Jeroboam. I Kings 1-12.

“Election, U. S. A.,” showing the
American balloting system at work in
a democratic form of government, is
I presented as a “preview” broadcast
of “This Living World,” Friday ser-
ies of KTBC-CBS’ “School of the
Air.” “School of the Air” broad-
casts are heard over KTBC now,
daily, Mondays thru Fridays, 2:30 to
3:00 p. m.
“This Living World” presents a
wide selection of programs intended
to aid in interpreting current events
and postwar problems and in clarify-
ing public issues. Among the sub-
jects for the series are unity in the
postwar world, the United States in
Europe, feeding the world after the
war is over, peacetime military train-
ing, how the Axis should be treated,
protecting the unemployed, the fut-
ure of China, the possibility of world
organization, world airways, the na-
tion and the states, and new front-
iers open to exploration by American
youth.
Gracie Allen told George Burns
over KTBC-CBS show, “Burns and
Allen,” that it’s unlucky to have 13
guests for dinner. “I knew a man
who had 13 guests once, and now
every one of them is dead,” she said.
“Really?” queried George. “Who
was it?” “My great-great-grand-
father,” said Gracie. Listen to Grac-
ie each Tuesday, 8:00 to 8:30 p. m.,

Q
____ chool days and study nights are here again. Help
make the task of learning easier for your children by get-
ting the full efficiency from your lighting. Grime, dust and
dirt are all saboteurs of good light... a bulb or reflector
that is dim from an accumulation of dirt and grime is
harmful to young eyes. Check all study and floor lamps
and see that they are wiped clean and free from dust...
replace darkened bulbs with fresh ones of the proper size
... see, too, that lamps are arranged properly to elimi-
nate glare.
