CHRISTIAN SCIENCE
“The preaching of the cross
is to them that perish foolish-
ness; but unto us which are
saved it is the power of God”
(I Corinthians 1:18). As this
Golden Text indicates, many
have been saved from sin, sickr
ness, and death through spirit-
ually understanding and obey-
ing the teachings of Christ
Jesus, who showed us the way
to overcome evil.

of fact the Bulldogs were held
to a 7-7 tie at half but the com-
plextion of things changed dur-
ing the final two quarters.
Shiner broke the scoring ice
first with a 50-yard pass and
run combination that certainly
had the Bulldog defense puz-
zled. The extra point was good
and the score was 7-0. Yoakum
tied it up late in the second
quarter and the score stood 7-7.
Early in the third frame
Yoakum got the break they
needed. A Shiner boy was trap-
ped behind his own goal and it
was a safety for Yoakum giv-
ing them a 9-7 lead. From then
on it was all Yoakum. The score
was run up to 16-7 on a ten
yard pass play and the final TD
came from twelve yards out.
The score was 22-7 and it was
a defense battle the rest of the
Archbishop Robert E. Lucey
of San Antonio and some 60
priests from various parts of
Texas were in attendance.
Father Kopp was born April
19, 1879. He lived, studied, and
was ordained in Alsace, a pro-
vince of France.
One of his sisters, his senior
by one year, became a nun in
1901 and last year celebrated
her golden jubilee as a religious
teacher in Africa where she
spent practically all of her life
except the four years of the
first war. • *
Two months after being or-
dained in 1902, Father Kopp
sailed for America to begin
there what was then called a
missionary life.
The first scene of his labors
was in Buffalo, N. Y., where he
stayed for six years with a
way. friend of the family, the pastor
—o-—o— o o— of the French church. On the

To Guadalupe
Firemen’s Meet
Yorktown provided firemen
and their attending guests with!
an outstanding reception Sun-
day, upon the 33rd semi-annual
convention of the Guadalupe
Firemen’s association. The com-
munity hall auditorium, a new
civic center, with kitchen and
outdoors covered and under
giant live-oak tree tables, serv-
ed excellently for the all-day
Dutch lunch for the climax.
This district association now
constitutes 41 fire departments
in its 18 county Guadalupe Val-
ley area. Its activities have
stimulated the building up to
greater efficiency in its fire de-
partments and firemen person-
nel, as well as enhancing the
movement in fire prevention. It
has meant much to increase the
value as an asset to everyone
of the communities in which
these fire departments strive to
unselfishly serve the public in
the saving of lives and proper-
ty.

dresses of Chief E. W. Patter-
