BUILDING A TOWER?
COUNT THE COST
My father pointed out to me a
man in our community who, at
one time, was a minister. "There
was high promise in his life," he
said, "but times were hard and
he turned back."
It's an old, old story in which all
of us share. "Which of you,
desiring to build a tower, doth
not first sit down and count the
cost?" Universal as the question
is, let's look at the one who
spoke it—Jesus.
He counted the cost of the jour-
ney from Bethlehem to Golgotha.
And even He, from time to time,
drew on the bank of earnest
prayer for the resources to meet
that day's demands.
No man starts to build a life
with a complete stockpile of
supplies. No man! It is the height
of foolishness to say "I will be a
self-made man." There is no
such person.
The wise believer, in perceiving
the road of life ahead, prays,
"Give me this day my daily bread,
and forgive me this day's trespasses
as I forgive this day's trespasses of
others against me. And lead me
not into temptation this day,
but deliver me from this day's
evils."
Counting the cost?
Count on Him.
—Dr. Paul M. Stevens

Vote for
Greater Banking
Convenience
Passage of Proposition 1 on the November 4th bailot will open
the door to even greater banking convenience. This simple
change in the law will allow Texas banks to place unmanned
teller machines at convenient locations for faster service, night
or day. These teller machines are becoming a convenient
option for handling routine banking business.
"Round-the-clock banking at unmanned tellers is convenient,
safe and a positive step toward avoiding unnecessary credit card
use.. .moreover, it is an energy saver—instead of traveling
across town to a bank, an unmanned teller can be built in your
neighborhood."
— San Angelo Standard-Times
Proposition 1 "will make life easier for bank customers.. .(it)
will eliminate many, if not all, of the tortuous lines seen
clogging drive-in bank lanes."
— Houston Chronicle
Proposition 1 "has gained widespread support as the
amendment faces voters Nov. 4."
— Orange Leader
"Off-premises unmanned teller machines should be approved
by Texas voters."
— San Antonio Light
People in forty other states
already have this convenient banking choice.
Its time Texans did, too.
