Congress—
(Continued from page 1)
is rumored to be interested
in running for Congress
from the new district.
Rep. John Field of Dallas
charged that Northeast Texas
counties had been gerry-
mandered “to keep Wright
Patman from having an op-
ponent” and suggested that
Patman’s son, Sen. Bill Pat-
man of Ganado, should not
vote on the bill because of
his special interest in it.
All districts fall within 10
per cent of the equal popula-
tion goal of 416,508.
Representative Hinson said
he resented the pressures
that were brought against
the house and senate con-
frerees in the late hours Sat-
urday to produce a bill that
would meet certain persons’
specifications. He said the
lines that were drawn de-
finitely violated the court’s
injunction that the new dis-
tricts should be compact
ones.

A Thought For
This Week
THY WORD HAVE I HID
IN MINE HEART.
—Ps. 119:11
I am grateful and glad
that I may say, “Thy Word
Have I Hid in My Heart”,
for I know it is all by
Grace.
Precious to me is the
thought that deep within
my Soul is the abiding as-
surance that I am a child
of God’s Grace, justified
fully and truly by the
Redeeming blood of Jesus,
my Savior - - - And then
inseparably interwoven
with this, is the strength-
ening consciousness that
all my days and moments
are lived under God’s
Sheltering Wings, protect-
ed from the many dangers
which beset me. It is well
with me because, “Thy
Word O God is in 'my
Heart.”
“Is His Word Hid in
Your Heart”?
Come Worship with us!
