MULLIN, MILLS COUNTY, TEXAS, THURSDAY, JUNE 27, 1935.
MRS. R. H. PATTERSON, Publisher.
PECAN CROP DAMAGED
Miss Birdie Burkett accompa-
nied her cousin, Will Murray of
Fort Worth, to Llano Sunday for
a visit with relatives. Miss Bur-
kett reports terrible devastation
in that section from the recent
floods.
The relatives she visited had
200 bearing pecan trees and when
the rain, storm and flood was
over, there were only 25 pecan
trees standing.
Many other native trees went
down in defeat before the flood
waters and dozens of other prop-
erty owners were as badly injur-
ed, financially. Llano county es-
timates the loss at sixteen mil-
lion dollars.
Mills county people are indeed
fortunate and sometimes we
have to leave home and get off
into a new field to realize the
many advantages that are at
home.

MRS. McNEILL ENTERTAINS
The Garden Club party at the

day afternoon.

dience with interesting papers

ever, Mrs. H. R. McDonald, won
a lovely vase in scoring high.

son. The latter two were unable

sick daughter and Mrs. Wilker-
son was called out of town. Miss
Fletcher and Miss Joyce Preston,

cream, and punch.

PUBLIC AND THE HIGHWAY
Highway engineers, familiar
with the results of public depre-
dation on highway flowers, are
frank in declaring that the state
must abandon its efforts to beau-
tify the roadside. State horticul-
turists can meet Mother Nature
on equal terms and by planting
perennials and indigenous flow-
ers improve the landscape, but
they can do nothing with the
motoring public which assumes
that flowers are made to pull.
There’s a law on the subject here
but there are laws on a good
many subjects which the average
citizen cheerfully ignores. He as-
sumes that no jury is going to
convict him for stealing flowers.
He is probably right as to that,
but is grievously wrong in de-
feating constructive efforts to
relieve the monotony of high-
way landscape.
We start late on educating
public consciousness to highway
beauty. It is to be hoped that, in
spite of the ravaging of the flow-
ers by barbarian motorists, the
state will persist in planting and
as far as possible in protecting
the roadside flowers. Meanwhile,
the campaign of education
should go on, teaching young
America respect for growing
flowers, so that, when it becomes
older America, it will have im-
proved on the manners and
tastes of the present elder gen-
eration. It will take time. It may
require a generation—for Amer-
ica is pretty well set in its ways,
one of which is a rather com-
plete disregard of aethetic in-
terests.—Dallas News.

COST OF ADMINISTERING
NRA
What the NRA cost is revealed
in a startling manner by a re-
cent survey of the National In-
dustrial Conference Board plac-
ing the expenses of administer-
ing the 578 codes during the two
year period at $93 million. This
includes $71,704,406 for code au-
thority expenses, $18,110,000 for
the Recovery Administration, $1,-
214,000 for the National Labor
Board and the other expenses.
In addition there are other
millions, untotaled, of code au-
thorities such as those for steel
and the automobile industry,
which assumed the burden of
administration with their al-
ready existent facilities and did
not file budgets with the NRA.
GRAIN HARVESTING
IN FULL SWING
Oat and wheat crops are har-
vesting a better yield than was
expected in this section.
The spring oats are especially
good and the threshers are hum-
ming away now. Men and boys
are up and at the threshers by
dawn of day. Trucks and wagons
going almost day and night. The
pretty days of sunshine are as
welcome as the first fine rain
after a long drouth.
Cotton and corn are up and
coming, too, roasting ear time is
here.

COTTON COMPLIANCE WORK
“Materials, instructions and
orders to proceed with land
measurement and cotton con-
tract compliance have been
received by counties in the Rio
Grande Valley, and work is get-
ting under way in those coun-
ties,” says the administrative as-
sistant, division of cotton, AAA.
“This year’s compliance plans
provide, in addition to the meas-
urement of acres planted to cot-
ton, that rented acres must also
be measured and certified.
“An added feature of this
year’s program will be the meas-
urement of the number of acres
in cotton on the farms of all
Bankhead applicants who do not
have cotton acreage adjustment
contracts. This is being done as
quickly as possible in order that
the state cotton allotment board
may make proper analysis and
issue tax exemption certificates
before the producer takes his
cotton to the gin,”

BLUEBONNET
A REVIVAL
The purpose of a revival is to
show every individual in the
church and community the
Father. “Philip saith unto him,
Lord, show us the Father and it
sufficeth us,” John 14:8. If you
have lived in the shadow of the
church these many years and
have not seen the Father, it is no
doubt, your fault. There are in-
dications on every hand that
God has passed this way. The
footprints of Jesus can be seen
here and an unmistakeable evi-
dence that the Holy Spirit has
been at work in the lives of men
and women to enlist them in the
service of Jesus Christ.
“Show us the Father,” should
be the cry of each and every un-
saved person in this commun-
ity. ' Will you, lost friend, make
that your demand and the chal-
lenge of the Christian forces of
Mullin?
We shall endeavor, by God’s
grace and the leadership of the
Holy Spirit, to meet that de-
mand. /
The gospel is represented in
God’s word as being a sword and
somebody will feel the keen edge
of that sword of truth during
this revival. The gospel is repre-
sented as being like fire and our
prayer is that we shall all feel
the burning effect of that migh-
ty power. The gospel is also rep-
resented as being a mighty stone.
Beneath this great stone, may
we all feel the great weight of
sin and turn with a confession
of the same to God. “Who will
forgive us our sins and cleanse
us from all unrighteousness.”
May the lost of our community
take refuge beneath this stone
as they wquld shelter in the
shadow of a great rock in a
weary land.
We are praying for just such a
revival in Mullin community.
A revival is something that re-
vives. It is not merely a series of
sermons, or singing of a lot of
songs and a lot of praying. All
of this is good and must be done
in a real revival, but a revival
that revives is a stirring up of
the people of God.
The question was once asked:
“What does revival mean?” The
answer was given: “To give more
life.” Yes, a revival send down
from God will give more life to
this thing we call religion.
What kind of a revival do we
need in our community at this
time? We need a revival: (1) That
will revive the spiritual life of
the Christian man or woman. A
revival must be prayed down
May the spiritual life of each
Christian in the community be
built up in such a way that the
lost may know that there is a
reality to the religion of our Lord
and Savior, Jesus Christ. (2) We
need a revival in Mullin that will
quicken into joyous activity the
careless, indifferent Christian
and church member. One that
will flood the souls of men and
women with the “peace of God
that passeth all understanding.”
A true revival banishes malice,
envy, strife, hatred and all such
like from the hearts of Christian
people. (3) We need a revival
that will strengthen faith in God.
“Lord, increase our faith,” should
be the cry of every professed
Christian, for God says, “with-
out faith, it is impossible to
please Him.” Faith in God will
bring victory doing these days of
evangelistic effort.
(4) We need a greater rever-
ence for God’s holy book. God
has always honored His word. A
real revival will cause us to love
and adore the ‘Blessed Old Book,’
as God would have us to.
(5) We need a revival in our
churches that will awaken the
thoughtless sinner. A genuine re-
vival will attract the attention
of our lost friends and will re-
sult in numbers, turn to Jesus
Christ. 2 Chronicles 7:14 still
holds good, “If my people who
are called by my name will hum-
ble themselves and pray and
seek my face and turn from their
wicked ways, then will I hear
from heaven and will forgive
their sins and heal their land.”
We need a genuine old-fashion-
ed revival in this country,
brought about by the breaking
up of sin in high places. God
tells us in Jer. 4:3 to “Break up
our fallow ground.” Sin means
QUARTERLY CONFERENCE
Rev. H. S. Goodenough of
Brownwood preached at the
Methodist church Sunday and

itors were here from Blanket,
Zephyr and Green’s Chapel. Rev.

SPECIAL VENIRE EXHAUSTED

the trial of Stanley Wood, charg-
ed with the murder of Fred
Brown in Coleman county last
May 3, was begun in district be-

missing the mark. Let me say
then, Christian friend, we have
failed long enough. Let’s get
right with God and one another
and have such a revival that will
result in “rejoicing in heaven, in
the presence of the angels of
God,” when lost people turn
from their sins and put their
trust in God’s son.

attend the revival which is to
start Sunday, June 30, under
