about repairs for the other two

been either rebuilt completely or
drastically improved long ago.
This can be accomplished now if
the people of Teague are Inter-
ested enough to work for it.
From the information previous-
ly given, the reason for the con-
dition of the school should be
evident The truth of the matter
is that the buildings were con-
structed long ago when condi-
tions for the health and comfort
of the student were not taken
into consideration. Tor instance,
i the lighting in theO. M. Roberts
building is a problem. The rooms
are long and wide to such an
extent that it would take enor-
mous windows to light them

Friends, neighbors and strangers. We are

It is our thought that everyone is inter-
ested, to some degree at least, in what the
Holy Bible teaches concerning the Salvation
of man, and his duty to God and to his fellow
man. Perhaps we may help you to a better
understanding of some of the difficult things
of the Bible.
We shall approach this work with love and
a spirit of humility, we shall deal with those
subjects that have been most misunderstood.
We suggest that the reader clip out
these articles and preserve them for further
study. Why not make a Bible Scrapbook, any
question will be answered and altogether we
can come to a better knowledge of the Truth.
Remember you are always welcome at the
