Urges ’Prayers
For Rah’Now
The Rev. Robert E. Bowden,
pastor of the First Church of
God, who has frequently advo
cated “prayers for rain’’ Satur-
day urged "earnest prayers for
rain now.” He said:
“Will God hear our prayers for
1 rain? That question a lot of folks
are pondering in their minds. We
would answer in the affirmitive.
Yes, God hears earnest sincere
prayers for rain as well as for
other existing needs. To tie sure
a lot of people will need to make
some personal confessions to
i God for their indifference, neg-
i lect, and careless living. Perhaps
in many instances that should
be done before petitioning God
for rain. If that’s the case, lets
get busy.
“Sure we need a spiritual rain.
If you are a Christian, you
should never cease to pray for
that to come. Thats a daily pe-
tition from the heart of all
Christians. I know we should
pray for God to intervene and
stop the war that now raging in
Korea, lest it spread to involve
every nation and bring utter des-
truction upon mankind. These
are urgent and should be on our
daily prayer list.
“We face a need, which is
more or less local: which in-
volves a great deal more than
many of our people realize. The
need for rain to fill our lakes
with water to supply water for
the welfare of our people, has
reached the stage where its
tragic. There is no need to try
to evade the facts, neither
should we try to enumerate all
things involved in this overall
need for rain. The need is ap-
parent. The health of our people
is involved as well as the gener-
al welfare of all.
“But my God shall supply all
your need according to His
riches in glory by Christ Jesus.’
Phil. 4:10 This verse of scripture
indicates God’s will to supply our
need. Not our wants. To pray for
rain is to pray for an urgent
need. Our community needs
rain now.
"Will every church join to-
gether in prayer for rain today.
‘The fervent effectual prayer of
a righteous man availeth much.’
God will hear our humble, earn-
est prayers for our need."
Nolan County Is
!6th In Census
The 1950 preliminary cen-
sus figures reveal a pronounced
movement to the larger indus-
trial centers and likewise move-
ment from farms and ranches
to smaller towns and cities.
This is the result of the trac-
tor and elimination of many
small operations and extra
farm families.
Of the state's 254 counties,
only 101 showed gains; the oth
?rs showed losses.
As a result of the new count,
Nolan County with 19.797 in
1950 ranks 80th in population
n Texas. In 1940 with 17.309
lopulation, it ranked 107th.
