MRS. C. C. CADY
Another year is numbered with
the past. We can never retrace one
step or travel the same road. Once
more with the New Year there
come new opportunities, new re-
sponsibilities, a year filled with
many problems. Let us pray daily
for courage to discard non-essen-
tials and to cling to the essentials
of life to all who stand with us in
our struggle and our hope. We say,
Happy New Year.
New subscriptions continue to
come to our desk. Like the selling
of war bonds and stamps, they still
come pouring in. Postmaster
Harper says that since Christmas
they have sold more and more
bonds and the end is not yet. Mo-
ran is patriotic.
* # * *
One thing that pleased us a
great deal was an old subscriber
who left a New Year's gift on our
desk, 'for faithful work and stick-
ing on the job.' Thank you so
much, my good friend, • that will
help buy a war bond.

A deed of kindness wherein every
citizen of Moran had a part, was
the contribution made to our good
friend, S. B. Killough, who was in-
jured Christmas eve at our down-
town celebration. A love gift of
some $65.00 was made in gratitude
for his proffered services. Mr.
Killough is reported recovering
nicely.
# * * *
Moran had a famous visitor one
day last week in the person of
Jerome (Dizzy) Dean, the promi-
nent baseball twirler who is now
announcer for the St. Louis Cardi-
nals. While visiting friends in Cis-
co, in company with two Dallas
business men, he also came to Mo-
ran and hunted quail on the Floyd
Pool ranch. They visited Bob's
Cafe and ordered the best steak
dinners that could be had and Mrs.
Mashburn served them beefsteaks
that brought forth much praise for
thfe food and Moran hospitality.
They expressed their desire to
come back again.

NEW CITY HALL
The new city hall is now com-
plete and it is a beautiful new stuc-
co building with plastered and
tinted walls inside, and a hardwood

one of which citizens may well feel
proud.

CHRISTIAN SCIENCE
SERVICES
"Sacrament" is the subject of the
Lesson-Sermon which will be read
in all Churches of Christ, Scientist,
on Sunday, January 10.
The Golden Text is: "I will take
the cup of salvation, and call upon
the name of the Lord. I will pay
my vows unto the Lord now in the
presence of all his people" (Psalms
116:13, 14).
Among the citations which com-
prise the Lesson-Sermon is the fol-
lowing from the Bible: "Let the
words of my mouth, and the medi-
tation of my heart, be acceptable
in thy sight, O Lord, my strength,
and my redeemer" (Psalms 19:14).
The Lesson-Sermon also includes
tffe following passage from the
Christian Science textbook, "Sci-
ence and Health with Key to the
Scriptures," by Mary Baker Eddy:
"Praying for humility with what-
ever fervency of expression does
not always mean a desire for it
We should examine ourselves and
learn what is the affection and pur-
pose of the heart, for in this way
only can we learn what we honest-
ly are" (page 8).
