I didn’t have time or space last
week to say all what I wanted to
say about Religious Liberty. You
understand I hope that I did not
mean that the S.D.A. would ever
contend for a Sabbath law. God
forbid, for that would be clear
out of their line of business and
Uncle Sam should tell them to go
home and tend to their own bus-
iness. No one need to fear to stand
for what they believe whether
right or wrong; whether black or
white; 7th D. A. or Roman Catho-
lic; Jew or Gentile. We all have
a right to believe or disbelieve.
The only one we need fear is God
and to Him alone belongs ven-
geance.
As Christians, it is indeed wrong
and not a bit nice to make sport
of any ones religion, but if they
do they are even then at liberty
to do so .there is no law to pro-
hibit them. You have the right
to hold your own. The press is
free, your tongue is free, and
what else does one want? See Matt
10: 25-28. Of course under a
law of Religious freedom no one
can do his fellowman any bodily
harm, the law would handle that
case. Our duty and privilege is
to love, warm, and persuade one
another to do right. Surely no
one would blame me if I would
have to fill the blank space left
by the three boys that left for
Keene, Texas. Last week Ver-
nen Jensen had him as pal, this
time Wilfred Smith had him.
Elders L. L. McKinley of Ft.
Worth, and Wyman of Austin
came in for an “evening call." El-
der McKinley spent a while relat-
ing some wonderful stories of
God’s deliverance of his people in
Holland in this time of suffering
there. There is no respect of
color or creed with God.
Here comes Grandma Jensen a-
gain and wants to stick in( just a
little reminder. Do you folks re-
member what I said about the Re-
publicans being apt to get the
seat? Just about done it, didn’t
they?) You see Grandma is a
Republican and I am a Democrat,
but we both like President Tru-
man and are very happy to see
he has a head full of common
sense. He has too much of that
"US Religious Liberty” in him to
let any of that prejudice stick out.
And we hope they get the things
all straightened out and all this
wrangling, fussing and fighting
corralled before another election.
And another thing, grandma
stands U.S., I Russ. But still you
see we agree, both in for Liberty.
Mrs. A. L .Smith who went thru
a heavy operation at the Fleming

PEE LEE, Nov. 10—Another
chilly wind from the North. Had
about an inch rain last night, glad
it wasn’t more, but would have
been gladder yet if it had not
been any. But we are so thank-
ful that we have »a good house,
stove and plenty wood to put in
the stove. And a lot of good food
so why should there be any kick
coming only the kick we get from
enjoyment. Yes, there are two
kinds of kicks, like two kinds of
weeping, both sorrow and joy.
0, that poor old truck of R. N.
Jensen’s! It actually died after
all that ■ hospitalizing. And all of
them have been having to walk.
Well, and just how did Mr. M. H.
Jensen, Jr. and his wife feel going
to Dallas and back with the old
thing, going a little ways, then
sputter and die, then go a few
miles sputter and die. Could as
well laugh as cry. Maybe get home
bye and bye. He said he wished
for a hill a mile high going almost
straight down to give it a start to
go up in high. It took a night and
then some to make the trip ,and
then had to be pulled.

see a savage beast prowling in
the bushes looking for a chance
to leap on a friend or foe of mine,
if I would give out a hasty yell to
look out save thyself, save thy-
self! I would surely be to blame
if I did not warn him. But should
he throw a scornful look at me and
walk right into the woods I think
I would stay away. As I would
not have the power no way. And
no one could blame me. Surely
tho I’d call for a man with a gun.
And even this is our duty. We
have a right and should appeal to
our government to see that they
do the right thing in protecting
our fellowman.
And may God bless this nation
and U. N. to stand for Religious
Liberty, for it is Peace.

Progress
on getting telephones
to those waiting
. ' (
Every day we’re making progress on the big telephone
job to bring service to the people who want it. New
applicants keep the waiting list long, but as new
equipment is placed in operation, we’re able to put in
telephones for those who have waited longest.
It’s not a short or easy job, hut we’re hard at it.
We are working at getting telephones for not a few
persons or a few towns, but. . . for more than 230,000
persons ... living in some 700 towns ... in five states.
“Getting telephones” means making and shipping
and installing switchboards and other telephone equip-
ment, stringing wire and splicing cable, setting poles
and placing conduit, and all the rest that adds up to a
LAST RITES HELD SUNDAY
FOR TRUMAN LETT
Last rites were held Sunday
afternoon, November 10th at 2:-
30 at Miller Mortuary for Tru-
man Lett, who died Friday morn-
ing, November 8th, the Rev. Paul
Jakes officiating. At the con-
clusion of the service the cortege
proceeded to the Pleasant Grove
cemetery where interment was
made in the family burial plot.
Pallbearers were Howard and Bed-
ford Scales, Hunter Hanson, Ro-
bert Owen, Willie Marek and Ros-
coe Harmon.
Truman was the son of Mr.
William Newt Lett and' his late
wife Ella Paid Lett. He was born
at Elgin, Texas, February 24th,
1913 and spent the greater part
of his life here. He had been out
in California working in a ship-
yard for several years but recent-
ly returned to Houston, Texas to
visit sisters and arrived in Elgin
late Thursday.
Survivors are his father; three
brothers, Delbert and Howard of
California and Louis of Elgin;
three sisters, Mrs. T. B. Maynard,
Austin; Mrs. Frances Deckard
and Mrs. J. F. Williams, Houston;
all of whom, except the two broth-
ers in California, were here for
the funeral. Also surviving are
w .
lead, rubber, cotton—are just as scarce as many of
the hard-to-get things you yourself need these days.
That’s why getting telephones in takes longer today
than we like. 1
That isn’t normal, and it won’t last. One of these
days we’ll be putting in telephones again the day (
■ people want them installed. Everyone who wants a
telephone will have one, and service will be better than
“*, ever. . . , ■
Meanwhile, the best way we know to hurry that
day along is to work hard—harder than we once be-
lieved we could work—and make that badly needed i
telephone equipment faster than it has ever been made
before. As you read this, 100,000 workers in telephone
factories—an all-time high—are doing that. They are
making telephone equipment in far greater voltune
than ever before. That’s the best answer to a shortage
that we know.
