in being
here
■a
Rev. F. L. Hagberg of Wa-
cO, (Texas, will conduct a ser-
ies of gospel meetings begin-
ning Sunday morning at 11
o’clock and held every even-
ing next week at the Swedish
Methodist Church. Rev. F.
L. Hagberg served his church
as camp pastor at Camp Mc-
Arthur during the recent war.
TJfhe messages that he will
bring us are worthy for all to
hear and we expct a crowded
house Sunday at both services.
As we approach the Easter
season again and Hie Christian
hope in Jesus Christ is reiter-
ated in pulpit and through the
press it is well for every per-
son in El Campo to attend ser-
vices end receive the promise
of eternal life through faith
in Christ.
Spain minted a coin with
the image of Hercules bearing
the world on his. shoulder.
The inscription on the coin was
41No more beyond." After
Columbus had discovered Am-
erica the first word had to be
dropped from the inscription.
Infidelity and worldly men say
at the open grave, “There is
no beyond”. Christianity,
however, boldly says today,
“There is more beyond the
grave.” The Savior tells us
plainly through the Holy Word
“In my Father’s House are ma-
ny mansions. I go to prepare
a place for you.” John in ex-
ile brings' the message from
Patmos where he saw the
heavenly yision: “And God
shall wipe away all tears from
their eyes ; and there shall be
no more death, neither sorrow,
nor crying, neither shall there
be ay more pain; for the for-
mer things are passed away.”
Rev. 21:4.
Dr. Torrey tells of the God*
less father who had a sweet
little child who was an earnest
Christian. This young daugh-
ter fell ill and died. The fa-
ther was very angry at God.
After the funeral he raged
about his room cursing God
irho had taken from him his
beloved child. At last utterly
worn out, he threw himself
upon the bed and fell asleep,
n his slumber -he dreamed
that he stood beside a dark riv-
er, across which he saw a beau
tiful land on the farther side.
As he gazed across the river
he saw children’s forms com-
ing toward him. From among
the children one fair child
came forth, whom he soon rec-
ognized as his own little
daughter. She was beckon-
ing to him and calling: “Come
over here, father; come over
’ He awoke, and burst-
ing into tears gave up his re-
bellion against God, accepted
Christ, and prepared to meet
child - in Heaven.
,An opportunity will be of-
d you through every ser-
vice during Rev. Hagberg’s
stay among us to accept
Christ and so prepare yourself
for the Homeland of the soul.
Oscar E. Linstrum, Pastor.
While our financial situation
'^remains in a strained condi-
tion, and there is a real need
for curtailment in the use of
credit facilities, t&e situation
Is by no means critical. The
Federal Reserve system till
has ample facilities for extend-
ing credit accomodations. The
chief element of concern lies
in the fact that we are still
^compelled to draw upon our
reserves at a time of the year
when the seasonal demand has
pased and funds normally are
ample for current needs. The
excess reserve* of the Federal
Reserve system have been stea-
dily dclining in the past month
On February- 27th they stood
4at $216,000,000 as compared
to $201,000,000 bn January
»30th.

In the period from January
20th to February 27fh, the vol-
ium of Federal Reserve notes
In actual circulation increased
from $2,851,000,000 to $3,-
020,000,000,. bringing them
close to the highest point ever
reached. Our net gold ex-
ports cotinue in considerable
volume, amouting to $51,446,-
000 fromUanuary 1st to Feb-
ruary 10th.
/ A brief survey of the *past
month shows the following in-
teresting facts—New York
clearings amounted to $18,-
000,000,000, as compared with
$23,000,000,000 in January.
The average price of twenty
industrial stoeks was $94,40
in February, as compared with
6104.60 in January. The num-
ber Of shares old on the New
York Stock Exchange reached
$21,960,000, as compared wfth
619,880,000 in January. In
the field of foreign exchange
despite adverse exchange fates
and an inereaing volume of im-
ports, our favorable balance
of trade for January wag $257-
000,000, which compares with
$300,000,000 i0 December,and
$236,000,000 in October. The
settlement reached in our
transportation problem,' by the
return of the roads to their
owners under the compromised
Esch-Cumming Bill, is a pow-
erful influence for good in our
present situation.

106 CHILDREN EXAMIN-
ED AT HEALTH CLINIC
106 children, ranging from
six months to seven years of
age were examined at the well
equipped medical clinic at the
Duson building. Although
some were found to be practi-
cally normal, yet there was
an astonishing number of un-
dernourished, anaemic child-
ren. Special instructions re-
garding the diet were given
these under-weight children.
Bad tonsils, adenoids, hernia,
enlarged cervial glands, skin
eruptions, decayed teeth, poor-
ly developed chests, round
shoulders, and flat feet were
some of the prevailing defects
recorded on the health records.
The mothers of these children
are glad to learn of the de-
fects pow, so they may be
remedied while the child is
young.
Many children with decayed
teeth were found. Decayed
teeth promote the growth of
rdisease germs. Pus poisons
the system. Irregularities and
loss of teeth cause improper
closing, and this leads to faul-
ty digestion and mouth breath-
ing which in the end results
in various diseases. Bad teeth
detract from one’s general ap-
pearance. i
One of the purposes of the
health clinic is to teach that
a clean mouth and thoroughly
chewed jpod is essential to
health, that well cared for
teeth and a clean mouth pre-
vent disease.
