STEPHENVILLE PASTOR
, REPLIES TO EDITOR OF
COMANCHE NEWSPAPER
In a
recent number of the Co-
^ Chief the editor took me
to task very severely for announc-
ing thru our local Stephenville pa
pars that I would preach on
•'Christ and the League of Na-
tions/' He did not attack what
said as he had no idea of what tha
was. His position seemed to h
that we preachers are continuall
getting out of our realm and mil
ing politics and religion and mal
ing fools of ourselves in genera
He says in effect that Christ con
— pletely divorced politics and r<
ligfon.
Now his editorial could
way hurt me as it obviously I
from a “small bore.” However t
phantom issue he raises should ble
cleared up for his readers. (We

ask him t ogive this reply the same
publicity that he gave his attack
on me.)
The editor may be able to hand! s
the Chief but he shows himsel f
wholly incapable to deal either
with politics or religion, and
would advise him, if he is giong t
try to handle the Word of God fo
the edification of the pulpit that hi
had better study it enough at leas^
to know the alphabet of Theologyj.
Is not God the Author of ever
legitimate human interest, includ
ing politics? Did not He dictat
to Israel thru Moses a complet
code of politics and religion. Does
not “politics” in its meaning have
to do with citizenship and was not
Christ one of the world's greatest
“Politicians” in the highest and
best sense of the word? Will the
editor show where Christ ever
divorced politics from religion?
Did he not pay his tax like other
good citizens? Did he not teach
to “render unto Casar the things
which belong to Cesar and to God
the things which belong to God
{Matt. 22:21) when they tried to
trap him and muzzle him as the
•ditor would muzzle me? Why
ahould any citizen who is obedient
to the law be muzzled whether in
public or private? Why do the
lurches \have to obey the law of
the land? ^pid not Paul say that
“The powers that be are ordained
of God therefore he that resisteth
the power withstandeth the ORDI-
NANCE of God;” and again “For
xttlers are not a terror to the good
work but to the evil”—"for he is
minister of God to thee for good”
«nd if so is not the preacher doing
God’s will when he publicly or pri-
vately gives him support?
Yet none of these things were
discussed in my sermon, the an-
nouncement of which was so
fcQrshly condemned.
.Will the editor please state to
his readers just one position I DID
take? The fact is that he, in com-
plete ignorance of my position
meets a “man of straw” and pro-
ceeds to try to knock him down
which he fails todo. With no vis-
ion of his game he undertakes to
shoot thirty miles with a pop gun.
He would better furnish his read-
egg with the news of his town and
what ever good advice they will
stand holding in mind that but for
the power of the pulpit he today
would be living in heathendom.
He has not only assailed me
without cause but his assault is
against the ministry of the coun-
try* He owes to it an apology.

OUR TOWN
How many of us ever think what
a loyal town Stephenville is to
Tarleton? It is not only banquets
and sweaters, J-Tac ads, athletic
support and a park fence that we
have as proof—it is a deep and
permanent spirit of interest and
ownership as of something theirs
that the citizen of this town hold
and cherish. They give us all we
ask and more. They do things for
us before we know those things
need be done—they look out for us
more than most of us know about.
Though they talk very little—
these frineds of ours—when we
need them they are ever ready.
We believe they have placed a
trust in us—a faith that we will do
our parts according as theirs are
done. We want them to know that
we will try to be worthy of this
confidence. We must never let
them regret we are here. We are
proud of our town’s generous
loyalty!
Mr. H. 0. Rowland, a stockman
of Carlton, who doubtless knows
more about mules than any man in
this part of the State, spent con-
siderable time in helping the Di-
rector of Agriculture and the Pro-
fessor of Animal Husbandry to
mules, which as nearly as possible
represent the southern Ideal type.
These colts were bought for the
purposes: of finding out tha cost
of bringing mule colts to working
age, of studying the question in
farm management of farm power,
and for demonstrating types and
market classes of mules in the
Animal Husbandry classes.
To further aid our Experiment,
Mr. Rowland gave the College a
small mule colt for the purpose,
as he suggests, of determining the
relative profits in large, good type I
mules and small inferior types.
Mr. Rowland thinks this will prove ;
to be unanswerable argument in j
favor of good breeding.
And further, it is his opinion
that it is more profitable to buy
good, young mules at a fair or even
high price than to accept inferior!
mules as a gift.
His interest in the College and
also his interest in the mule busi-
ness prompt him to make the above
named gift.
The College appreciates his in-
terest and his gift.
It is to be hoped that more and
more the farmers all over the
country will in some way cooper-
ate with the College in making
this section of Texas a truly great
agricultural country.
