PSIPPE
by MRS. FLORENCE BOSL
Is it possible for triumph to follow defeat?
History of the civilization of man holds one outstanding story of
such an event.
Triumph means success over great odds. Defeat, Conversely, means
( the opposite.
| What is the story that tells mankind that there can be triumph
over defeat?
It is the Bible story of Christ's crucifixion.
The season of Easter is here and throughout the world Christians
are preparing to observe in reverent worship the events that led to
the death of Christ.
His death was the ultimate in defeat as our standards of today
would classify it. He had been born in humble fashion, matured in
poverty and simplicity, and he had suffered the pains of all mortal
men . . . physical lackings of food, warmth, shelter, the pains of lone-
liness . . . yes, even the depth of despair that came' when his most be-
COMMUNITY-WIDE UNION GOOD FRIDAY SERVICE AT ST. PAUL CHURCH
There will be a community-wide Union Good Friday service, to be held this year at St. Paul Church at 1:30 p.m. Rev. Jess Mothers-
baugh, Pastor of the Methodist Church will bring the message. The time of this service is such as to allow those who work until noon, and
who must be back at work by three o'clock to attend the services and be back to work on time.
The Triumph Over defeat
loved friends culminated his earthly days with their betrayal for was
it not Peter who denied he knew Jesus? Was it not Judas that sur-
rendered Him for a few pieces of silver?
Nailed to the cross, He felt all the tormentous thoughts that pain
and despair could bring yet he turned from His own suffering to
offer forgiveness and eternal life to the guilty thief that hung on
another cross by his side.
Here is the picture of what today would be called complete de-
feat. Nowhere in the story is a report of his accummulation of wealth,
power, prestige, or possessions. Instead it is the exact reversal. A
man born in poverty, lived in humble fashion, died in disgrace.
Look with me now to the part that makes this story apart from
our modern ones, that makes this life story different from all other.
Inside the tiny capsule of man's history only once has this type of
event been told and retold. Why?
The reason is simple. Only in the life of Christ do we have the
amazing miracle of death and resurrection.
The triumph of defeat was His rebirth, and His blood on the
cross, His death by crucifixion, and His rising again gave mankind his
hope of salvation, his faith in God, and that he, too, might triumph
over earthly defeat through eternal life.
No other story has been written and rewritten so many times, in
so many eras of history, in so many different languages. Yet, today,
in a world sharply divided between the God and the Godless, no other
story offers more hope to eager, searching souls. What is the hope that
it offers?
In dramatic example, it tells the peoples of the world that there
is no defeat that cannot be triumphed over by faith in God, and that
the son of God died to give us that eternal hope.
The recording of the events that happened that Easter season
nearly two thousand years ago remains the world's most widely read
story. In it, believer and unbeliever alike, find much to apply to their
daily lives for in it, forcibly told, is the secret of living, triumph over
defeat.
THE SCHULENBURG STICKER
The fate of our nation rests upon each of us and the people we influence. If we want to make a quick dollar above all else, if we would trade security for freedom, if we have lost the moral fibre of
our ancestors, our nation is in grave danger. For in a free world we do our choosing as to leaders, but our leaders cannot put meaning or purpose or moral standards into our lives. This is up to us. The fate of
the world is within each of us.

April 15 Deadline
For Filing Federal
Income Tax Return
Friday, April 15, is fast ap-
proaching for those taxpayers
in the Austin Internal Revenue
Service District who have yet to
file their Federal Income Tax
Returns for 1959.
District Director R. L. Phin-

United States, regardless of na-
tionality, who is under 65 and
who has gross income of $600
or more during 1959, "MUST
file a Federal Income Tax Re-
turn by April 15. If 65 or over,
the gross income figure is $1,200
or more.
"I urge taxpayers to avoid
| the last minute rush—to make
every effort to prepare and file
their own returns NOW! A
qualified tax specialist is a sound
investment for highly complex
financial problems but uncom-
plicated tax matters may be
solved by telephoning your near-
est Internal Revenue Service of-
fice," Mr. Phinney said.
The district director reminded
last minute taxpayers also that
the easy-to-use card Form 1940-
A, and the new Form 1040-W

save taxpayers time in prepar-
ing their returns.

end.

very good and light weight
good quality stocker calves
proved to be on the highest
level in several months. Cow
and calf pairs and stocker cows
were selling weaker but a good
general rain should strengthen
the demand. The packer cow
market was very good and the
hog market was very good with
hogs bringing tops from $15.50
to $16.30.
