Cox Gives Initial
Address to Preacher
Students Friday
i j
Work of a gospel preacher was
discusser by James F. Cox at tho
Initial 'meeting oC tho Evange-
listic. (Forum last Friday even-
ing. In beginning bis nddrea's Bro.
Cox said "I pity the person who
is doing a thing because he HAS
to do it." With various examples
he showed how dissatisfaction pre-
dominated among the many who
compose every walk of life. His
admonition to the gOBpcl preacher
was "Do not be discouraged with
no immediate Tesults. b0 satis-
fled with tho fact that you are
sowing the Word. Look beyond
tho visible for tho coming harv.
est."
In connection with this point
Bro. Cox rolated nn incident of
a young man who once attended
John Tarloton College whllo he
was president. During -his echool
day the young man was some-
what mlschlovous. The president
attempted to persuado the boy to
reform this actions but seeming-
ly failed. The conduct of the lat-
ter became sAich as to merit ex-
pulsion from "tho Institution. Upon
his plea he was granted a place in
school lifo again but was soon
expcllcd tho second time. tji.u'f
Some years later the president
received' t! letteTd from thdv'sairie'
young manMtwaa written "from
the front-.battIo lino"of Frances In
it was a word of appreciation for
What Prcs. Coi -and others had
done-'for him while in t college
mentioning thd fact that amid the
roar of battle andcrys of dying
men he was 'prono to recall the
kindness of those who wanted him
to walk 'straight' during his
youth."
"As proacherfl" Bro Cox added
your opportunity is to influence
people to oboy the gospol and llvo
tho good life. It you are Instru-
mental In the salvation of one soul
there is that one soul to snend
eternity in tho glory world be-

Did you know that every beau-
tiful green leaf that you admire
in the -spring is c'tlior plnately or
palmately simply or compounded-

army of ants may cross a river by
forming a bridge of themselves?
Did you know that students of na-
turo study arc supposed to learn
to recognizo and namo all the
trees and wild flowers of Texan
collect and press every kind of
loaf nnd flower in Taylor County
or elsewhere within reach collect
specimens of every Insect and moth

Thon Bro Cox stressed tho need
of humility as one of tho great-
est characteristics of a gospel
preacher and closed with the
words of the apostlo Paul "How
shall they hoar without a preach.
