Methodist Church have cele-
brated 100 years. The Texas
Handbook refers to Gholson
as a community of churches
and school. The Gholson Me-
thodist first met in the
school buildings In 1890 Rev.
W. M. Adams was sent (at
the first annual conference)
to Gholson. He saw the great
need for a church building
ana began to lay plans for it.
Rev. Adams, serving the East
Waco Circuit was also serv-
ing the Methodist church at
West and it was during this
time that the Methodist
church at West was erected
and dedicated, although the
M. E. Church South, of West
was organized in 1884. Many
years before methodism had
been planted at Bold Springs,
later moving to Poverty
Ridge. The church at its
organization In 1884 was
made up of members from
Poverty Ridge, Liberty Grove
and Scotts Chapel.

This It The
Church of Christ
God dwells not in temples
made with hands, Acts 7:48.
‘This, a part of the Chris-
tian dispensation , has been
true since Pentecost, A.D.
33. In Old Testament times,
under the law of Moses,
worship was centered in the
tabernacle or temple. Here
there were priests, altars,
incense, sacrifices, gold, jew-
els, and the most holy place
Solomon’s Temple was cost-
ly, beautiful, and elaborate.
But when Christ came ‘‘to
fulfil] the law,” this was the
end of the old order. Jesus
said, “Neither in this moun-
tain nor in Jerusalem, shall
you worship the father
but, true worshipers shall
worship the Father in spirit
and truth.” John 4: 19, 26.
Today, “where two or three
are gathered together in my
name, there am I in the
midst of them,” Mt. 18:20.
Now people worship as they
have since A.D. 33, “from
house to house,” “in upper
rooms," in caves, in church
buildings (with emphasis on
the worshiper and not on
the location), or wherever
th“re are accommodative
fat titles. The place is no
longer important, as long as
there is no "forsaking of the
“Where does my
‘Electric BUI Dollar’go?”
When you pay your
Texas Power & Light
electric service bill, we
hope you think of the many
comforts, conveniences and
pleasures electricity
helps make possible.
But, we Ye frequently
asked-and maybe
you’ve been
wondering-“Where does
my ’electric bill dollar’ go?”
Let’s take a look at the
1973 dollar.
Out of every dollar
received from every
customer last year, 2U was us$ to pay for the fuels
needed to generate electric power... natural gas, coal
and oil.
In 1973, the expenses of running generating plants,
keeping plants, lines, trucks and other facilities and
equipment in good operating condition, paying the
salaries of employees, etc., required 20< of each
“electric bill dollar".
Another 20« of each dollar was needed for federal, state
and local taxes. In many of the cities and towns it
serves, TP&L is the largest single taxpayer.
Funds to pay interest on the Company’s indebtedness
and for dividends on preferred and common stock
accounted for an additional 22« of the 1973 "electric
bill dollar”.
The remaining 17c of the dollar, representing funds set
aside for depreciation costs and stockholder earnings
not paid out in dividends, was used by the Company
for construction of new generating plants, lines and
other facilities.
Just as you must budget your Income and make
adjustments because of rising costs and changing
conditions, so must Texas Power & Light. We’re
tightening our belts ... looking for ways to produce
and supply electricity more efficiently and more
economically, while continuing to provide the
dependable service you expect for your “electric bill
dollar"
