A 1'aAL.rl OF COTlOiN
Special Service At
Methodist Church
We ere in the midst of our
cultivation period, having good
fellowship and good programs,
Three very attractive special
services are yet to be held.
At the morning worship next
Sunday we are to have a vidt-
iijg preacher who comes most
highly recommended. Now pro
fessur of missions in Southern
Methodist University, Dr. Al-
fred W. Wasson rendered over
twenty years service as a miss-
ionary in Korea, the latter
part of which time he was presi
dent of Chosen Christian Col-
lege, His two children, now
honor students in Southern
Methodist University, were
born on the mission field. An
utter simplicity and deep ear-
nestness give charm to his
personality. We hope the peo-
ple of the town will give him
a large hearing. His message
is sure to be helpful to ail.
One of the most important
programs will be given Sunday
night at 7 o'clock. Mrs. S. W.
Cole will be the main speaker.
The full program follows:
Hymn—I Am Thine, O Lord.
Hymn 1 Gave My Life For
Thee.
Prayer.
Hymn, My Jesus, I Love
Cotton, thou are my shepiicru
and l am iu waul.
Thou hast cruaed me to feed
in a dry pasture* thou hast de-
stroyed my credit; thou hast lej
me into the paths of poverty
liens, lawsuits and near naked-
ness ;
Thou hast destroyed my soul
and my happiness;
Thou hast caused me to go
to a banker with my hat under
my arm and motgage the mus-
tie and produce of my farm;
Thou hast caused me to live
in u rented house in full view!
of the moon, while stars came
twinkling through the cracks;;
Thou preparest a naked
back and an empty stomach for
me in the presence of my friends
Thou annointest my head
with ignorance, superstitions*
poverty and unpaid accounts.
How can I trust thee?
Thou hast kept my children
out of school, church and so-
ciety ; thereby robbing them of
all that is good and noble, ele-
vating and refining.
Thou hast caused me to go
to the barn, bring out the old
fertilizer sacks and ask my wife
to make me a shirt.
.Vow, behold as I stand amidst
my friends in my new shirt
with these inscriptions in full
view: “Eighteen per cent acid
phosphate” on the breast and
”12-4-4” on the tail.—Ex.

THF! New FORD in a splendid car to own and drive
because of its attractive lines and colors, safety, com-
fort, speed, reliability and long life.
There are, in addition, three other features of
importance to every far-seeing automobile owner ,. ,
low firot cost, low cost of operation and up-kccp, and
low yearly depreciation.
During the life of the car, the day-by-day economy
of owning a Ford will amount to considerably more
than the saving on the first cost. You save wl.en you
buy the Ford and you save every mile you drive.
The reasons for this economy are simplicity of
design, high quality of materials and care In manu-
facturing and assembling. Many vital purts arc made
to limits of one one-thousandth of an inch. Some to
three ten-thousandths of an inch. Throughout, the
new Ford is an outstanding example of fine crafts-
manship in automobile engineering.
The more you see of the new Ford—the more you
talk to Ford owners and experienced mechanics—the
more certain you become of this fact. ... It brings
you everything you want or need in a motor cur at an
unusually low price.

The final program of our
series is to be held next Wedncs
day night. We bring our food
from 6:30 to7, and start serv-
ing supper promptly at 7. If
you haven’t been joining us
around the supper table before
our programs you have missed
some fine fellowship. Be with
us next Wednesday.
The program will be a fitting
climax to our entire series.
Lev. I. M. Payne, asked by the
arrangement committee to pre-
sent our missionary work, con-
ceived the idea of a dramatiza-
tion. With the assistance of
Miss Orleta Payne and Mrs.
Geroge McKay was worked out
end will be presenteu ur.der the
title, "The Missionary Wins.”

service appears in another col-

The Semi- Weekly Kurm Nnwj,
writes mt In a very encouraging
note tw follows: "1931 is going to
be u good year it can't help being
a good year you can't attribute
the amount of money congress Is
appropriating for relief without It
reacting to the betterment of us ail
So lets’ gird up our loins, put „n
that .smile of optimism that so be-
comes us and go after business."
To help in the good work, we
have arranged a combination cb;b
