OUR REDEEMER
LUTHERAN CHURCH
Fourth and Rorem
Rev. L. Winfield Wickham, Paato*
Mother’s Day is rightfully cele-
brated throughout our nation next
Sunday. Just because it is ob-
served on Sunday does not mean it
belongs to or is restricted to the
Churches. |Wbere it is observed,
even in churches, with emotional
sentimentality only, where mother-
hood is glorified only because a
woman has produced offspring,
where the privilege of motherhood
is separated from its responsibility,
the observance of Mother’s Day has
lost its glamour, and probably
would have fallen into disuse en-
tirely, were it not for the profit
business houses make out of it.
But there is a right observance.
The Church can speak of it. God
did. Isaiah 49,15 compares Cod’s
love to mother’s love, thus paying
her the highest compliment pos-
sible.
But the day seems so appropriate
also for our aged parents. Our
Governor of Texas usually declares
the week beginning on Mothers’
Day as Golden Age Week. Some
cities have observances every day
on some aspect of aging. Their
skills and hobbies are recognized
and exercised. Above ali else they
are remembered as people, still use-
ful to the community, still wanted
and enjoyed, if only the Senior
Citizen will permit himself to be
loved and enjoyed.
Our Redeemer Lutheran Church
will observe Mother’s Day next
Sunday at 10:45 a.m. in a God-
pleasing way. Why not bring your
parents to Church? A special wel
come is extended at Our Redeemer
to every Senior Citizen in and
about Palacios, who will not be in
his own Church, either because they
feel they cannot go, nor feel want-
ed. There are all too many in th«
advancing years who do not attend
Church. All these aged folk are in
one enviable position—ordinarily,
they will be seeing God sooner than
the rest of us. So old age is the
last of all ages that should be
neglecting God, rather, it should
be the time “to draw near to God".
If you cannot go to church, the
church should come to you. Our
Redeemer’s Pastor will gladly serve
you if called upon.
Come next Sunday td our Moth-
er’s Day services, when the Pastor
will preach on “Our Motherly God”,
if you need transportation and
could not come otherwise, phone
Pastor Wickham, at 5(271 by Sat-
urday and he will make arrange-
ments for you.
Sundayschool and Bible Classes
will be at 9:30 a.m. All are wel-
come.
Mr. and Mrs. Abner Ussery of
Blessing visited friends and rela-
tives in Bryan and College Station,
Saturday. They visited Mr. Ussery’s
sister, Mrs. R. M. Grady in Hunts-
ville, Sunday.

Edward C. Pasal, 93,
Celebrates Birthday
At Family Gathering
Edward Carl Pasal enjoyed his
P3rd birthday with a small family
gathering at his home on May 5th.
Later in the afternoon, friends
and neighbors called to wish him
many more happy birthdays.
Mr. Pasal, a native of Jefferson,
Fairfield County, Ohio, recalls
working for the Big Four Railroad
shop in Havana, Illinois, learning
the carpentry and cabinet makers
trade at 15 cents an hour, for three
years. < ■
He and his family moved to Pa-
lacios in 1903 when there were just
11 houses in town. From 1903 to
1912 he was assistant postmaster,
and at that time, he says, all the
daily mail, with the exception of
packages, could be put in a shoe
box. He later had the first cafe in
town, and when he sold the busi-
ness, he worked as a cabinet maker
until his retirement.
Present for the birthday party
were his daughter, (Mrs. Mabel
Lane, a granddaughter, Mrs. June
Havel and four great grandchild,
ren, of Blessing. One daughter,
Mrs. May Fooshee of Houston wa8
unable to be present.
Given Science Award
Miss Rose Gaines of Port La-
vaca, granddaughter of Mr. and
Mrs. Ira Ressler of Palacios, a
freshman chemistry major at Tex-
as (Women’s University in Denton,
received the science award for
maintaining the highest average
in physics and a “Handbook of
Chemistry and Physics” during an-
nual Honors Day assembly.
Mrs. Stilman Winfield returned
Monday from Beaumont where she
had spent the past two weeks with
her daughter, Mrs. W. J. Arring-
ton and family.
Mrs. Victor Scholfield and child-
ren, Roger, Randy and Robin flew
down from Augusta, Kansas to
visit her parents, Mr. and Mrs.
Karl Wickham and other relatives
and friends in Palacios, El Campo
and Houston. Mrs. Scholfield is the
former Darleen Wickham.

MSI IS FOR THE MANY THINGS FOR...
Once again, we pause, as we do every
year—on the second Sunday in May—
to unite in a simple festival of gratitude
within the family — to honor Mother.
We will acknowledge a debt that can
never be discharged. The members of
the family, wherever they may be—still
within the home or out in the world—
join in a tribute of appreciation of
Another and her sacrifices that made
home possible.
