NEWT MOBLEY DIED
ONE OF COMMUNITY’S
EARLIEST RESIDENTS
One of McGregor community’’s
earliest residents passed on to liis
last reward when Mr. Newton
Mobley died at his home near Og-
lesby last Saturday morning at
3:15 o’clock.
Mr. Mobley had been a sick
man since last November but
seemed to be in a serious con-
dition only some three months be-
fore his death. On his birthday
in September Mr. Mobley would
have been 78 years of age.
The body was laid to rest last
Sunday afternoon in the Craw-
ford cemetery at which place
funeral services were conducted
by Rev. A. J. Mann and Rev. R.
R. Crockett. S. Amsler & com-
pany of McGregor and Crawford
were in charge of funeral ar-
rangements. A large crowd of
bereaved loved ones and friends
were present to pay the last tri-
bute of respect to this fine gentle-
man.
Mr. Mobley came to the Mc-
Gregor community when quite a
young man in 1878, walking to
McGregor from Waco, and after
assisting in farm work for some
-two years with other settlers of
that early day bought some land
and moved near the Comanche
Springs neighborhood where he
later bought other farm land and
built and improved a beautiful
country home, becoming one of
the community’s best and most
prosperous farmers.
He was married in 1908 to Miss
Emma Thompson of Alabama,
who faithfully helped him in
making a beautiful and ideal
country homestead, and who alone
survives him. By his honest, up-
right and manly dealings he had
earned and maintained the high-
est regard of his many neighbors
and friends. He loved them and
proved a friendly counselor to
many who watched his busy life.
The success he had attained was
[proof of his industry and the the
[farmstead he had improved show-
j ed his thoughtfulness and taste
in making a pleasant and attrac-
j tive place in which to live.
! Mr. Mobley .united with the
Cumberland Presbyterian church
at Comanche Springs at an early
date and he had in his own heart
an assurance of peace and ac-
ceptance with his Maker. We
I owe much to men such as Mr.
Mobley who built for us in the
| early days and they are sadly mis-
• sed when they pass on.

Draper, George England, Will

Cooking Class
As a rule Sunday night supper
is a pretty cold sort of comfort.
It is usually a meal of left-overs,
left as they are. Why not some
real food for Sunday night instead
of a little of this and that. Choose
something that can be prepared
ahead of time or easy to fix at the
last minute.
A STRANGE PASSION
Out in Memphis, Tenn., a blind
and paralyzed war veteran had
his throat slashed. with a razor
by a woman nurse who had cared
for him twelve years. She be-
came enraged because another
woman called upon her patient.
Sitting in jail, in her nurse’s
uniform still bloody, she explain-
ed: “I was just mad. She seem-
ed to have some power over him.
He meant so much in my life. I
have nursed him for the past
twelve years. He is just part of
me. I love him, not as a sweet-
heart but as a son.”
This is a strange situation.
Pending the outcome of the pat-
ient’s wounds the nurse is being
held and if he dies will be tried
for murder. It is a strange quip
of human nature that makes a
person injure one she professes
to love but .it happens time and
again in actual life.

Welcome.—T. G. Story, pastor.
Our lesson today concerns Is-
rael’s great king, David. Prob-
ably the three outstanding charac-
ters in the minds of subsequent
Jews were the historic figures of
Moses, the liberator from Egyp-
tian bondage, Samuel, the great
judge and prophet, and David,
the glorious king.
Shortly after the final break
between the king, Saul, and the
prophet, Samuel, the latter receiv-
ed a commission from Jehovah
to annoint a new ruler. This
alarmed the old prophet, who
feared the punishment of Saul,
but Jehovah authorized him to
perform his task under the guise
of offering a sacrifice.
So Samuel proceeded to the
town of Bethlehem, full of his-
toric associations with the Jewish
people. Here Jacob’s beloved
Rachel had died and not so long
before had occurred the romance
of the Moabitess Ruth and Boaz.
Samuel called upon Jesse to at-
tend the sacrifice and bring his
sons. Jesse had alien blood in
his ancestry, for he was descended
from Ruth, the Moabitess, and
Rehab, the harlot of Jericho.
However, for three generations
his people were Jewish and that
prevented any question of his an-
cestry.
So, the sons of Jesse were ex-
hibited to the prophet Samuel.
The first one attracted his atten-
tion but the divine message came
•ejecting him: “Look not on his
countenance, or on the height of
his stature, because I have re-
jected him: for Jehovah seeth not
as man seeth: for man looketh on
the outward appearance but Je-
hovah looketh upon the heart.”
Seven sons were disapproved and
Samuel inquired if there were
another, to find out that the
youngest, David, was out caring
for his father’s flocks.
Then, David, the shepherd boy,
came before the prophet who
realized that he was Jehovah’s
choice as Saul’s successor, where-
upon he annointed him. David’s’
career from then on becomes very
interesting. He is summoned to
the royal palace because of his
skill as a musician to soothe the
troubled king. Jonathan, the
king’s son, and Michal, the king’s
| daughter, both love him. He has
his encounter with the Philistine
giant, Goliath, and overcomes him,
becoming a national hero. Saul
| becomes jealous- and plots his
death, only to be foiled on differ-
ent occasions, sometimes through
the instrumentality of his chil-
dren. EventuallyDavid flees
from the palace to escape the
wrath of the king and is a fugi-
tive until Saul’s death.
Eventually he ascends the
throne, recognized as the king of
Israel. A great military leader
he wins the hearts of his people
and extends their boundaries.
Success and prosperity come to
him and his people. David walk-
ed close to Jehovah, being a man
after his own heart, save only in
one great sin, that with Bathshe-
ba, the wife of Uriah, his captain,
whom David had treacherously
killed in battle to possess the wom-
an. Very dramatic is the story
of this episode and the condemna-
tion of the king by Nathan, the.
prophet, followed by David’s're-
pentance and grief.
The close of David’s lif6 was
gather tumultuous. Absalom, his
beloved son, headstrong and im-
petuous, causes him trouble and
eventually leads a rebellion
against his father. Adonijah,
another son, does likewise. Once
David flees for his life from his
royal palace, mocked at by some
of his contemptuous subjects. As
death drew near the rivalry of
two sons for the throne about to
be vacated brought unrest to his
last few days. Solomon, son of
Bathsheba, was selected by David
to succeed himself and our lesson
next week is about him.
