Sanger Bros. To
Honor 75 And 90yr. Olds
Eli Sanger of Sanger Bros, Dallas,
is looking for a person or persons
born on November 7, 1857, the birth
date of Sanger Bros. The persons
born on that date will be honored by
Texas’ pioneer store on its 90th an-
niversary, November 7. The 90th
birthday is the advent of Sanger
Bros into Texas. On the same date
75 years ago Sanger opened in Dal-
las. Seventy-five year olds with the
birthdate of Nov. 7 will be also hon-
ored.
Because birth certificates seldom
are available for such a distant date,
reasonable proof should be avail-
able from a family Bible, insurance
i policy, or some public record.

MORE LUTHERS NEEDED
What do we mean by the state-
ment, More Luthers needed? Aren’t
there enough followers of men al-
rady? Don’t we need more followers
of Christ -- just New Testament
Christians? Yes, we need more peo-
ple who are willing to study, think
and act like Martin Luther did in his
day. If we don’t have such men, we
soon find ourselves living in a dark
age comparable to the days in which
Luther lived. Dear friend, the time
has come for us to study God’s word,
meditate upon it and act as it directs
Have you ever stopped to think
whether or not the church of which
you are a member can be found in
the pages of the New Testament.
Does it practice things foreign to
Bible teaching? Do you know instru-
mental music in worship originated
in Catholicism? Do you know that
sprinkling for baptism came from
the same source, and neither are
found in the New Testament? Yet
you are willing to continue in them.
Why not oppose Rome lest you find
yourself under her power again?
You know that her desire and de-
sign is to destroy God’s word which
is His power to save. Rom.l:16.
Christ said, "He that believeth and
is baptized shall be saved.” Peter
said, “Repent, and be baptized every-
one of you in the name of Jesus
Christ for the remission of sins.”
Christ said, “Upon this rock I will
build MY church.” Be like Luther
and give up erroneous teaching. Heed
the admonition of God’s word rather
than follow the dictates of Rome.
Fire Destroyed
Whatley Home
A four frame cottage in the south-
ern part of town owned by Mr. and
Mrs. Alvin Whatley was completely
destroyed by fire Saturday night. Mr.
and Mrs. Whatley were away from
home and a neighbor discovering the
fire, which had already destroyed the
interior, turned in the alarm. The
Mesquite Volunteer Firemen answer-
ed the call but th fire was beyond
control. Both fire trucks were put
into use to save a nearby house own-
of the trucks became needed when
lack of water in the vicinity neces-
sitated the refilling of one of the
truck’s tank from the nearest mains
while the other kept a steady stream
of water on the Paschall house.
Firemen said the heat was so in-
tense that hose couplings could not
be handled.

Womack Concludes
Successful Revival
Reverend Johnny Womack, well
known Baptist evangelist and mis-

vival in Mesquite Sunday night with

sulted in sixteen conversions, a large
number of re-dedications, surrender
of two men to the ministry. By popu-
lar vote, those attending the services

Reverend Womack next year to con-
duct a similar revival in our city.

the proposed national compulsory
health insurance bill, which she
terms “The socialized medicine bill

clusion that the system would cost
8 to 10 per cent of the entire pay-
roll of the people covered.
