College Students
Speak in Mid-Week
Baptist Services
An informal service in which
the various college students spoke
on “That Which has Appealed to
Me Most in my College Work” was
conducted at the First Baptist mid-
week service. The pastor present-
ed the students, Hubert Ray, Zeke
Alford, Jr. and Myrtle Ray, who
were home for the Christmas holi-
days. These students were mem-
bers of the local Baptist church
until going to college at which
time their church letters were
transfered to the church in their
college town. The church counts
it a signal honor to have these
Christian young people in their
services at all times and all other

Peace Lutheran
Services Well
Attended Sunday
Services were well attended on
New Year’s Day at Peace Lutheran
church. The sermon topic for the
day was, "Who Can be Assured of
a Happy New Year?’’ The answer
was: Not the slaves of the law,
but the free children of God.”
May we, the redeemed children of
God. enter the year 1950 with that
hope and assurance. That is our
New Year’s wish to one and all.
M. N. Strieker, president of the
congregation, presented a sizeable
check to the F. T. Sager family, as
a Christmas gift from the congre-
gation. Pastor Sager expressed
his sincere thanks to all the mem-
bers and friends for this expression
of love and good will. He said:
"May the spirit of Peace, as the |
name of our congregation indi-
cates, continue to rule in our
hearts and lives for many more
years to come.”
The Luther Leaguers will meet!
in the basement this Thursday
night at. 7:30 o’clock for their
monthly meeting. We cordially
invite ajl members and friends to
worship, work, and play with us.
The Junior confirmation class
will meet again this Saturday
morning at 8:45 o’clock after a
two weeks vacation. Lesson 26 is
the assignment.
The idea of selling the church
to the community is illustrative of
the events of Pentecost.
The disciples were where Jesus
wanted them to be—in place, in
mind, and in spirit. The result
was that devout men of every na-
tion came to hear them.
I. Attention Must Be Attracted.
Other institutions do this—radio,
advertisements, show windows and
other means of publicity.
Attention may be attracted ti the
church by a well-kept building, a
faithful membership, a cordial wel-
come to visitors, good singing, and
a well-balanced gospel preaching.
II. Interest Must Be Created.
At Pentecost the people were
confounded, perplexed, spilled
paint attracts attention, but
creates no interest.
It is comparatively ea9y to create
interest, but some of the methods
are regretable. Proper interest
may be created by a faithful mem-
bership that edifies itself, seeks
to win others to Christ, and per-
forms deeds of benevolence. This
will also solve the problem of fi-
nance, and many other things.
III. Demand That
Must Be Stimulated.
Peter showed his audience what
he had for them and their need of
it. Many of them, therefore, glad-
ly accepted what he offered them;
that is, salvation through Jesus
Christ for their past sins and the
blessings of the Christian life.
There are three things that
should help the congregation in
stimulating this demand:
First, emphasize the divine na-
ture of the church. It is not a
sister to other institutions, but it
was divinely planned and is di-
vinely directed.
Secondly, it should be shown that
the church supplies all of man’s
spiritual needs.
Thirdly, make it clear that the
church furnishes the best oppor-
tunity for helping others.
It should be observed that these
methods of “selling the church”
are within the reach of all. God
does not require impossibilities of
anyone. When He commands a
thing, we should know that it is
for our good, and that it is within
our power to do it.
Christian Church

Christian Church
Sunday School
Group Meeting
The Workers Conference of the
Christian church Sunday school
met Monday night and discussed
a number of things in the interest
of the Sunday school work. For
some cause several teachers were
absent.
However, it was an interesting
meeting and several important
things were decided upon. An-
other meeting was called for Tues-
day night of this week. Two new
classes will be organized just as
soon as the new annex is ready for
service—a beginners class and a
young married people’s class.
All secretaries of classes are to
meet next Sunday morning before
going to classes to hear suggestions
to be offered by the general secre-
tary.
Assembly oi God
Services Well
Attended Sunday
Most of the Assembly of God
services throughout the holidays
were very good, according to Rev.
Capt. C. Gee, the pastor.
A great spirit of worship was
enjoyed throughout the New Year
day last Sunday. Another soul was
saved in the Tuesday night prayer
meeting of last week, the pastor
said.
Superintendent R. H. Zercher
and family spent Christmas in
San Antonio.
The pastor desires to thank new
and old friends who remembered
the parsonage family with so many
nice gifts and cards during the
holidays. This has been a great
year for the Assembly pastors, he
said, and many rich blessings have
been theirs to enjoy. Both send
greetings to all their friends with
the hope that each of you shall
have the best during the New Year
that the Master has in store.
The subject for the C. A. service
last Saturday evening was, “God’s
Love for Man, and Really Living
for God.” All reported having
enjoyed this kind of Bible study.
Mrs. Gee, president of the C. A.’s,
was absent on account of illness,
and Brother Gee conducted the
service.
The subject for this Saturday
service will be, “Look and See
Christ.” You are invited to visit
each service throughout the week.

METHODIST PASTOR ATTENDS
TEXAS CONFERENCE
Rev. T. Miller Smith, pastor of
the First Methodist church, at-
tended the Texas conference at
the camp near Palestine the first
of the week. Due to the fact that
Monday was a holiday arid the
pastor was also busy getting ready
for the conference, he overlooked
his church news for this page.
“Of all sounds of all bells,
the most solemn and touching
is the peal which rings out the
old year. I never hear it with-
out a gathering up of my mind
to a concentration of all the
images that have been diffused
over the past twelve months;
all 1 have done or suffered,
performed or neglected, in that
regretted time. I begin to
know its worth, as when a
person dies. It takes on a per-
sonal color; nor was it a poeti-
cal flight when a contempor-
ary exclaimed, ‘I saw the skirts
of the departing year’.”
—Charles Lamb
M* * >!»
Let’s all make the beginning
of this new year a resting place
for thought and meditation,
and a starting point for fresh
exertion in completing our
journey of human life.

Prayer for Today
Our Father, whose love and
mercy roach to all men, arm us
with that faith which enriches and
dignifies life and fill it with the
momentum of a great purpose.
Come to those who are ill, answer
their need in tenderness, and bless
them with the wealth of strength
and with a richer wealth of love.
In every crisis may we keep our
anchorage to Thee unbroken. In
our Saviour’s name. Amen.
Hymn for Today
Be still my soul: the Lord is on
thy side;
Bear patiently the cross of grief
or pain;
Leave to thy God to order and
provide:
In every change He faithfully will
remain.
Poem For Today
You can never tell when you do
an act
Just what the result will be;
But with every deed you are sow-
ing a seed,
Though its harvest you may not
see.
Scripture for Today
“Know ye not that ye are the
temple of God, and that the Spirit
of God dwelleth in you? If any
man defile the temple of God, him
shall God destroy; for the temple
of God is holy, which temple ye
are."—1 Cor. 3:16-17.
Habit is a cable, we weave a
thread of it each day and it be-
comes so strong we cannot break
it.—Horace Mann.
Just Among
l rs Christians
By R. A. Brigham
The New Year brought a boost
to the pantry of the Christian
church parsonage — a delicious
ham, a remembrance from Mrs.
A. A. McVoy and a quart of sweet
pickles from Mr. and Mrs. Jim
Griswold, the kind of pickles that
takes three days to make, and dif-
ferent to anything you ever tasted,
and better too. Now the Griswolds
are Baptist, but we don’t hold that
against them, and our friendship
dates farther back than the in-
corporate limits of Rockdale. Wish
we had more Baptist friends just
like ’em.

Did you ever get stung by a
car bug?- It’s almost fatal; be-
sides, it’s contagious." Sometimes
it takes affect gradually; other
times, immediately. I went through
both experiences, suffering mental
anguish and physical pain. Henry
Tyler and Bennie Dee Williams,
seeing my predicament, sent for
Red Hogan who came with haste
and gave me a shot of hot air in
the left ear. Pretty soon I had
the funniest feelings. I forgot
that I was a poor preacher, living
from hand to mouth; instead, I
felt I was fairly well to do finan-
cially. About that time Red gave
me a double shot of the same hot
air in the right ear, while Sonny
Hirt gave a demonstration on
gadgets. By this time I felt I was
riding on air and owned the world.
I don’t exactly know how it all
worked out; I still feel a little
groggy. But I do remember sign-
ing some papers. I also remember
Red giving me the keys to a four-
door Ford sedan and telling me
to drive it home. I remember
later on that some one gave me
some papers and told me that the
car would be mine just as soon
as I got it paid for. This is no
dream, for next morning I went
out to the garage and there it was
—a bright, shining fourdoor se-
dan. Will some one please show
me how to work the gadgets?
* ♦ •
Many of the members of the
First Christian church took ad-
vantage of the holidays the last
two weekends, and visited out-of-
town friends and relatives. It
will be a long time before we
have another two-day holiday, so
church attendance should soon get
back to normalcy. If all our mem-
bers should happen to attend the
same Sunday, where in the world
would we put them? I would like
to see that happen sometime just
to see how we all would feel.
* • •
Pardon me for getting over into
Baptist territory this week, but
we just can’t keep from telling
you how the members of the men’s
Bible class of the Baptist church
treated their teacher, H. M. Roark,
on Christmas day. They gave him
a brand new $12.50 hat in deep ap-
preciation for his services as teach-
er, and of course wished him a
merry Christmas and a happy New
Year. Now this fellow Roark, who
is a good friend of mine, intimated
to me that he would now like to
have a pair of cow-boy boots—
he has a red handkerchief, and
says he doesn’t need a sixshooter.
Do hope he gets all fixed up by
the time the rodeo season opens
up next summer. Au revoir et
bonne chance.
Preacher Cau l
Da 11 A ll
The work of the church is the
business of the whole community.
There yire some who pass this
off by thinking that everything
that concerns the religious, the
minister can shoulder the burden
of life of an entire community. Or
that he alone can and should bear
the burdens and responsibility of
the work in a particular congrega-
tion.
“It’s his business; that’s what
we are paying him for,” they say.
But is that fair and just? How
is your own business run? Does
one man act as president, secre-
tary, treasurer, purchasing agent,
sales department, etc., etc.?
Even in the small unit of the
family is there not a division of
responsibility?
EPIPHANY SERVICE TO BE
HELD AT EPISCOPAL CHURCH
Friday evening at 8:15 an
Epiphany service will be held at
St. Thomas Episcopal church, with
Rev. James McKeown in charge.
This will be a candlelight service
and is in commemoration of the
manifestation of Christ to the
Gentiles,
Beware of little expenses, a
small leak will sink a ship.—
Franklin.
Know more than others if you
can, but do not tell them so.—Lord
Chesterfield.
A bitter jest, when it comes too
near the truth, leaves a sharp
sting behind it.—Tacitus.
Wisdom is knowing when to
speak your mind and when to
mind your speech.
Success is determined by de-
termination.
Theory is a funny little thing
that doesn’t work unless you do.
Wise men are instructed by
reason; men of less understanding,
by experience; the most ignorant,
by necessity; and beasts, by na-
ture.

Annual Business
Meeting Held at
Peace Lutheran
The annual business meeting of
the congregation will be conducted
at Peace Lutheran this Sunday.
January 8th. Sunday school will
start at 9:30 and services at 10:30
a. m. That means one half hour
earlier than the usual schedule.
All members are urged to be pres-
ent and voice their wishes in the
election of officers for our church
council, and in the discussion and
vote on the budget for 1950.
The congregation at Sharp will
meet on this same day at 3 p. m.
for their annual meeting. Nom-
inations for the various officers
have already been made, and a
proposed budget has already been
presented to both congregations.
The pastor will also give his an-
nual report of the overall work of
the congregation and all its or-
ganizations at this meeting. This
report will show that church at-
tendance, communion attendance,
and giving lor the Kingdom of
God have shown a very substantial
increase over the former year. It
has been said that these three
items form the yard stick by
which a Christian can be meas-
ured. Now do you measure up9
The family record card, given to
each family, shows their record in
these things.
May each one of us resolve to
be more zealous of good works, to
grow in grace, in wisdom, and in
understanding; and to unite our
hearts and hands in building the
Kingdom of God in our own lives,
and in the lives of our fellowmen;
always seeking first the Kingdom
of God and His righteousness, to
the praise and glory of our Saviour
Jesus Christ.
Lutheran Church
Teacher's Meeting
Monday Night
The Sunday school teachers met
in the Lutheran parsonage Monday
night for their monthly meeting.
A thorough report of accomplish-
ments of the past year was given.
The Sunday school has 96 enrolled,
and brought offerings of $405.00
during the past year.
The teachers are taking a train-
ing course, conducted by the pas-
tor, on “We Learn to Teach.” The
discussion centered around the
question: Why teach? It was
brought out that the four major
objectives of teaching are 1. To
develop in our pupils the life
habit of daily spending time with
God in His Word and in prayer—
the daily renewal. 2. We train
our pupils in the art of worship,
the training to be given in Sunday
school, the actual worship in regu-
lar church attendance. 3. To af-
ford every pupil some opportunity
to express his Christianity in ser-
vice, stewardship and in missions,
to help bridge the gap between
knowing and doing. That is a big
order.
Church of Christ
Minister Back in
Pulpit Sunday
Elmer Irby, minister of the
Church of Christ, was ill the last
three Sundays in December. Bro-
ther Walter Dean, one of the el-
ders, did a splendid job of filling
the pulpit in the absence of the
pastor. He hopes to be able to
resume full duties by the time
this appears.
Friends and neighbors as well as
members of the church were very
good to the minister and his wife
through the holiday season, show-
ering them with cards, letters and
several boxes of groceries, as well
as other useful gifts.
Subject for Sunday morning will
be, “Taking Stock.” That will be
in line with the one used last
Sunday, “Resolutions.”
"GOING FORWARD" WAS
SUBJECT AT FIRST BAPTIST
Dr. Chastain, of Mary Hardin-
Bay lor college and formerly of Mt.
Pleasant, Texas, was guest speaker
at the First Baptist church last
Sunday. A challenging and in-
spiring message was delivered by
Dr. Chastain in Iho subject, “Going
Forward.” In the evening wor- : RESOLUTIONS FOR 1950
ship service he spoke on “The x win study lhe ianguage of
