According To
The Scriptures
Rev. Jamt'N L. Castleberry
Exodus 20:14—"Thou shall not
commit adultery."
Very few people recognise the
fact that adultery can be com-
mitted without the act of an
immoral deed. In consideration
of this fact let us take foi our
study the twentieth chapter of
Leviticus of the OKI Testament
and confirm our study with
scriptures of the New Testament.
Leviticus 20:1-5 sets forth the
fact that God disapproved of
his people to allow their child-
ren to have any part in worship-
ing idols. A parent who would
fail to discourage their Christ-
ian son or daughter from mar-
rying into an unbelieving family
has certainly taken a fatal step
against the plan of Clod accord-
ing to II Corinthians 6:1-1-16.
The Bible refers to it as whore-
dom.
Leviticus 20: 6-8 lets us know
that fortune tellers and magi-
cians are detrimental to the soul
of man. Paul encountered such
an one in Acts 13: 6-11. If we
would know the future, let us
consult God and not satan lest
adultery be charged against us.
Young people often resent
their parents being strict with
them, therefore God included
this ninth verse of Leviticus in
respect to warnings against a-
dultery. A youth who disregards
advice given by his parents is
certainly due for a pitfall.
Leviticus 20: 10-21 deals with
immoral deeds of mankind. Need-
less to say, this sin has been
the cause of untold human suf-
fering. Jesus tells us in Matthew
5:27-28 that a man becomes
guilty of the very act of adult-
ery by merely thinking on these
things without actually commit-
ing the act. May God help us
to keep our minds pure as well
as our bodies.
Maybe you have found your-
self guilty of adultery after
this sermon together with the
scriptures which we referred to.
If so, may I encourage you to
repent and be baptized in the
name of Jesus Christ for the re-
mission of your sins and God
will save your soul by filling
you with the Holy Ghost.
TPA Votes
Confidence
In Sanford
Directors of the Texas Press
Association, meeting here in a
special session recently, adopted
a resolution expressing "com-
plete confidence" in Vernon T.
Sanford, the association's general
manager.
Sanford was indicted at Waco
two weeks a«o on two counts of
"unauthorized contributions to a
political campaign." He is char-
ged with personally placing two
advertisements for more than
$25 each in Waco newspapers
on behalf of the candidacy of
Lt. Gov. Ben Ramsey, back in
15)54. One of the ads ran $35.
The other $41.2.").
In their resolution, the TPA
board recounted that Sanford had
displayed "dedicated allegiance
and devotion to his job as gen-
eral manager of the Texas Press
Association since he assumed
that position in 1947."
It further stated that he has
done "an exemplary job of de-
veloping, for the daily and week-
ly newspapers of Texas, an ef-
ficient organization which has
won state wide and nationwide
respect and esteem."
It concluded with the state-
ment that "Whereas he, as an
individual, has demonstrated con-
sistently the fact that he is a
gentleman of integrity anil de-
pendability—we extend to him
our vote of complete confidence
in his administration of the du-
ties of general manager of our
organization, and—tender to him
our deep appreciation for the
manner in which he has and is
executing the affairs of our as-
sociation."
Directors did not announce any
course of action as to the sec-
tion of the Texas Election Code
which prohibits the making of
any contribution in excess of
$25 to any individual's campaign
for office, except to the candi-
date or his campaign managers.
In placing the ads, Sanford
says he acted as an agent for
the newspapers, merely forward-
ing the ads to the publications,
and did not spend any of his own
money.

Soil Conservation District
News Column
Glen L. Blisard, district co-
operator with the Bastrop-Fay-
ette soil conservation district,
who lives in the Elgin commu-
nity has started applying a basic
conservation plan on his entire
farm.
Blisard started off on his con-
servation plan by constructing
a livestock water pond for better
distribution of grazing on his
pasture land. He also plans to
plant about five acres of coastal
bermuda grass on his farm this
year. He will use this acreage
of bermuda grass to graze his
dairy cattle on, and use some of
the roots after the grass is well
established to sod other parts
of his farm. Blisard also plans
to plant costal bermuda on his
farm pond and spillway to con-
trol erosion.
Blisard stated, "I have tried
blue panic grass on some heavy
land on my farm and it has done
good". However, he wants to try
some costal bermuda on some of
the sandy land which he has.
Blisard has 17 acres of crop-
land which he plans to construct
channel type ten aces on this
fall to control erosion.
