The 1952 political calendar is
full of dates under the new Texas
election law. Here are few chos-
en primarily because they are on
the county and precinct level.
No functions of the state
committee or state political
officers are listed here, nor
many functions of the county
Judge, commissioners court,
or county clerk. For this and
other more complete informa-
tion, consult the Texas Elec-
tion laws. (Chapter and sec-
tion numbers are listed as
shown In the 1952 edition of
Texas Election Laws, as pub-
lished by an Austin concern,
and may not correspond ex-
actly with article numbers in
the Texas Civil Code.) The

HOW FAR?
We are told that when Christ
was being dragged through the
streets of Jerusalem the night
before His crucifixion, Peter
followed him "afar off.”
Every community has its
share of people who follow
Christ "afar off.” They ap-
prove the Church’s program,
they wish the members well,
they "wouldn’t think of living
in a town without a church,
and yet they themselves keep a
convenient distance between
themselves and the churches of
their neighborhood.
Christ minced no words when
He spoke to the irreligious of
His day: "He that is of God
La-iw^ God’s words:, ye there-
fore hear them not, because ye
are not of God.”
To follow Christ "afar off’*
may be as fatal as going in the
opposite direction. Your eternal
destiny depends upon a fellow-
ship with Him, most intimate,
most close, and most enduring.
How far are you from Him.
