SUNDAY SERVICES:
Dr. Geo. W. Cox, State Health Of-
ficer, stated today that he believed
it would be a worthwhile idea for
every Texan to take a health inven-
tory at the beginning of the New
Year.
“In the true spirit of the New
Year, we should give some thought
to the mistakes we have made during
the past year, and a great deal of
thought to planning some way of
improving our Ijiealth conditions dur-
ing the coming year,” Dr. Cox said.
“The American people are very
fortunate. We have scientific knowl-
edge of communicable diseases; we
have already made important con-
quests in the warfare against infec-
tious diseases. We have material
wealth to make knowledge work; we
have capable leaders in the sciences
of life processes that see great oppor-
tunities for public good in health
measures that unite effectively the
resources of medicine, education, fi-
nance, and government. We are
probably the most realistic and
practical of all people. We should be
capable of even a more vital national
health program and nothing can be
of greater help to our country at this
time than the conservation and pro-
motion of good health,” Dr. Cox as-
serted.
The State Health Department, ac-
cording to Dr. Cox, is confident that
with national health being stressed as
our foremost means of civilian de-
fense, 1943 will see great strides of
.progress in upbuilding the Nation’s
greatest asset—the health of its peo-
ple.

Thanks and Appreciation
The members of the First Meth-
odist Church agreeably surprised the
Pastor, the Rev. A. A Carter and
family with a generous Christmas
“pounding.” We hape that we may
to some degree be worthy of this
gesture of appreciation and good-
will on the part of our Church Mem-
bers. Since so few of the gifts were
marked by the donors we cannot
send personal notes of appreciation
and thanks so please accept this
statement in the Zavala County Sen-
tinel as our personal “thank you” to
everyone who sent anything to the
“pounding.”
The Woman’s Society of Christian
Service of the Methodist Church
Will meet Monday, January 4. for the
regular monthly business meeting
at 4 o’clock at the church.

CHRISTIAN SCIENCE SERVICES
"God” is the subject of the Lesson
Sermon which will be read in all
Churches of Christ, Scientist, on
Sunday, January 3.
The Golden Text is: “Unto the
King eternal, immortal, invisible,
the only wise God, be honour and
glory for ever and ever" (I Timothy
1:17).
Arooilg the citations which com-
prise the Lesson-Sermon is the fol-
lowing from the Bible: “In God is
my salvation and my glory: the rock
of my strength and my refuge, is
in God. . . God hath spoken once,
twice have I heard this; that power
belongeth unto God" (Psalms 62:
7,11'
The Lesson-Sermon also includes
the following passage from the
Christian Science textbook, "Science
and Health with Key to the Scrip-
tures,” by Mary Baker Eddy: “It is
our ignorance of God, tne divine
Principle, which produces apparent
discord, and the right understanding
of Him restores harmony (page
390).
piths but those created by the
wild beasts and still wilder savages.
With their axes they newed out
homes, built their villages and erect-
ed their stockades. With their axes
they hewed a pathway into the for-
est, felled trees for bridges across
turbulent waters, penetrating deep-
er and deeper into the woods until
they crossed the mountains and
reached the plains. With their axes
they split the timber for tiie wagons
that freighted them to other forests.
These they conquered in like manner
until at last they came to where the
waters of the blue Pacific lapped the
western shore.
“The axe is the path into the for-
est.”
The free man must ever forge
ahead into the unknown. The axe is
the symbol of his own strength, of
his ability to utilize his own talents
to carve out his own path into a new
world. The path he hews, others will
follow, to go on where he leaves off.
His the responsibility to make his
part of the path run true and smooth,
that those who follow after may
speed to their own task.
“The axe is the path into the for-
est.”
We are in the forest of war. Only
as we wield our own axe, lustily and
wisely, will we find the path out.
Only as we work as did those earlier
pioneers, from dawn until sunset will
we carve our pathway to the moun-
tain peaks from which we can see
the plains of peace beyond. Only as
we lop off the non-essential branch-
es, cut down the poison growth of
hates, suspicions and prejudice, level
the trees that hide our vision of a
free world, can we be worthy follow-
ers of those who made this country
of ours. As they who preceded us,
wielding their axes, built a nation
of the free, so can we, wielding our
axes, build a Sree World. The power
is in us. We need but the will to act.
“The axe, now as always, is the
path into the forest.”

PAY NOW
Twenty-seven million Americans
will soon be paying heavy income
taxes that as time goes on will be-
come even heavier. To all but a mere
fraction of this number, personal in-
come taxes will be a new experience.
In fact, according to recent surveys,
a good proportion of these people do
not yet realize they have been in-
cluded in the taxable brackets. They
are spending their money as fast as
they earn it. The threat to govern-
ment authority and solvency by a
mass of potential tax delinquents, is
serious.
A practical solution is the prompt
adoption of a pay-as-you-go arrange-
ment such as the Ruml plan. Mr.
Ruml, former dean of social sciences
at the University of Chicago, and
Chairman of the Board of the Fed-
eral Reserve Bank of New York, ob-
serves that: “Nothing can be gained
by arguing that people ought to have
saved the tax on last year’s incomq
out of last year’s income. The fact
is that they did not do it and now
they cannot do it."
Every taxpayer must realize that
we cannot survive war, and return
to a system of individual freedom
unless the government remains sol-
vent. If it is to do that, the people
will have to pay taxes and buy bonds
on a devastating scale. Tax laws
must be mercilessly farreaching and
efficient.

BIRTHDAY PARTY, JAN. 30
Organizing to wage war on the
home front against the dread disease,

maiming disease. Funds raised in

TODAY’S GOOD
With a song in my heart I greet the
day
And the task that day may bring,
For God’s dear love shines on my
way:
What can I do but sing?

Get the pattern of your life from
God, then go about your work and

Divine Love is our hope, strength,
and shield. We have nothing to fear
when Love is at the helm of thought,
but everything to enjoy on earth and
in heaven.—MARY BAKER EDDY.
Give us to awake with smiles,
give us to labour smiling; as the sun
lightens the world, so let our loving-
kindness make bright this house of
our habitation.—R. L. STEVENSON.
This day is all that is good and

and invitations, to waste a moment
on the yesterdays.—EMERSON.
Do not anticipate the happiness of
tomorrow but discover it in today.
