PRICE DECLINE IS
1 CALLED “LEVELLING OFF”
There is no reason to be alarmed
over the recent decline in prices,
President Truman declared in a
press conference last week. He de-
scribed the price drops as a “lev-
elling off that everyone has been
hoping for." He repeated his de-
sire for Congress to enact stand-
by price controls and emphasized
his belief that federal taxes must
be increased by $4 million during
the next fiscal year.
Two leading government econ-
omists viewed the business and
employment situation calmly. Dr.
Edwin Nourse, top economic advisor
to President Truman said we are
going through a period of “healthy
disinflation,” but warned that panic
on the part of the public might
lead to a recession.
The government’s chief labor
statistician, Ewan Clague, said de-
spite increases in unemployment in
recent weeks, he couldn’t see any
cause for worry unless the num-
ber jumps to about twice the pres-
ent number of unemployed.

THE METHODIST CHURCH
Lawrence M. Grccnhaw, Pastor
1 Block from High School
This being Lenten season, or
Pre-Easter, we advance into it with
prayer for consecration of spirit
and character in the name of the
Most Holy One, Jesus the Redeem-
er Who entered the first week be-
fore the first Easter with a High
and Holy Passion and Agony of
Mind over what lay ahead for Him
on Friday. In keeping with such
a period of prayer and meditation
and action, we will carry on the
Church Bulletins for the next four
Sundays, reproductions of the face
and head of Jesus as seen by
modern contemporary men. After
these four Sundays will come Palm
Sunday and Easter Sunday. These
paintings of Jesus are by Warner
Sallman and Howard Chandler
Christy who painted them during
and following the recent war, and
the classic by Johann Heinrich
Hoffman, closing the series with
the one by the Czech immigrant to
America, Max Wieczorek, and rep-
resenting his idea of “An American
Christ.” Also carried will be an-
cient Christian symbols which still
are used as Pulpit and Altar dec-
orations.
The congregation at the evening
service on Sunday was the largest
in some time. The Youth Choir
continues to do a splendid work
in preparation on the Easter Can-
tata which will be sung on Easter
Sunday evening. The art glass
church windows were replaced this
past week, and this week other new
windows will be installed in the
church kitchen.
Mr. R. H. Neeley presided ojj
Sunday morning for the first time
as the new Program Chairman of
the Church School, and in his de-
votional talk, gave us some goals
for the school to work towards.
New members received on last
Sunday are Mr. and Mrs. R. C.
Talbot from the Eleventh St. Meth-
odist Church of Corsicana, Texas.

CHRISTIAN SCIENCE SERVICE
Christian Science service will be
held at 10 o’clock Sunday morning
at 605 First Street. The public is
cordially invited to attend.
“Substance” is the subject of the
Lesson-Sermon which will be read
in all Churches of Christ, Scientist,
on Sunday, March 13.
The Golden Text is: “Now faith
is the substance of things hoped
for, the evidence of things not
seen” (Hebrews 11:1).
Among the citations which com-
prise the Lesson-Sermon is the
following from the Bible: “Charge
them that are rich in this world,
that they be not highminded, nor
trust in uncertain riches, but in the
living God, who giveth us richly
all things to enjoy” (I Timothy
6:17).
The Lesson-Sermon also in-
cludes the following passage from
the Christian Science textbook,
“Science and Health with Key to
the Scriptures” by Mary Baker
Eddy: “Paul and John had a clear
apprehension that, as mortal man
achieves no worldly honors ex-
cept by sacrifice, so he must gain
heavenly riches by forsaking all
worldliness” (page 459).

BOOK VIEWS
Dinner at Antoines by Frances
Parkinson Keyes, (Julian Mcssner,
Inc.)
The author of “Come a Cavalier”
and “River Road” spins a yarn
about a famous restaurant in New
Orleans. Orson Foxworth, the dar-
ing, unscrupulous president of the
Great Blue Fleet, celebrates his re-
turn to New Orleans after a long
absence in Central America, by giv-
ing a dinner in the unique -1840
room at Antoines world famous
restaurant. This dinner is osten-
sibly planned to present his charm-
ing niece, Ruth Avery, who has
come from Washington for the Car-
nival festivities, but it also serves
as a springboard from which to
renew Foxworths own courtship of
the beautiful widow Amelie Lel-
ande. At the dinner, Amelie’s
daughter, Odile, spills a glass of
red wine down the front of her
white dress; and later she is found
dead in her bedroom, with a strange
pistol and a note beside her. This
exciting tale is placed against a
background of quaint and colorful
customs, celebrations, and the gra-
ciousness of the Louisiana scene.
Many characters move in and out of
the story, trappers, government
qJQeers, lovers, Mrs! Keyes , tells
a very interesting story.

Reason For Reading
The Bible Pays Off
I am glad to say that Mary Ellen
Peterson has sent in what I con-
sider a very commendable reason
why she believes the Bible and as
she is the only one to respond
I have sent her the $5.00. Should
any one else respond, bring the
article to me and get the $1.00
offered.
The following is Miss Peterson’s
article:
The reason I am a believer in the
Bible is because it gives the way
of salvation, doom of sinners and
happiness of believers. Its doctrines
are holy, and its histories are true.
I believe and read it to be wise,
to be safe, and practice it to be
holy. It contains light to direct,
me, and comfort to cheer me. Here
paradise is restored, heaven’s gates
opened and the gates of hell dis-
closed. Besides these I feel that I
have nothing to lose by beliveing
in it.
The preparations I am making
are to read the Bible and attend
church services, and pray for guid-
ance to follow the Bible.
