,.r Te The Christians
Of Aspermont
Aapermont needs a revival of reli-
gion. Man and women are iroinu
ftwm here to torment. Boys and jjirls
are following in their footsteps. f'ath-
crs and mothers know not the Christ.
Homes are devuid of Christian culture.
The lost of Aapermont know little or
the Christ who is able to save them
tfom their aina and to plant in their
hears e new Joy that will bring .lite
more abundant. They hear little or
the Christ
Por the condition of the unsaved
there ia a responsibility resting upon
the Christian a* well as those who
are out of Christ. The loyal and true
a. Of the churches will earnestly en-
deavor to help those whom Christ is
seeking to save. As your pastors we
believe we have a message to you
from the Lord: " Say not ye, then
•qf are yet four months, and then comet h
the harvest? Behold I say unto you
lift up your eyes, and look on the
fields; for they are white already to
harvest." We need laborers in the
(laid, and they must come from Un-
churches of Aspermont. We pray you
to come with us into the field th.it
the harvest may be plenteous.
After prayer and counsel, we have
laid plans for a continuous evangelis-
tic campaign in our churches on Sun-
days, and for a united evangelistic
service every Thursday night. Two
such services have already Keen' held
with growing interest. These mid
weak services will alternate amnio.;
the churches of the town with a dif-
ferent speaker each Thursday nighl.
We do not desire these services to
be cold, formal programs with only
the "Standbys" of the church present
Wa want to help the man who is out
of Christ, and out of the church; the
man who is battling with sin. What
twa want are "times of refreshing
from the Lord. Such times as will it
new the vital experiences of us Christ
tans and fill our hearts with a joy
that will help sinners to Christ. There
can be no doubt but that when wo
Christians drink deep of the wells of
salvation, then the sinners will Ihuist
lor the living waters.
For these reasons, and because our
Lord died for the sinners of Aspcr-
mont, we join our pleas to -ill Christ-
ians of Aspermont to join us in this
movement and dedicate themselves i>
God for the salvation, of the lost in
our midst, to set aside from all other
obligations Thursday jftight ot cat 1>
wask for this special evangelistic set
vice, by their presence to till our
churches both morning and night. <m
Sunday, and to join us at the Throne
Grace in behalf of a great revival
of religion here and now. It is for us.
Let us seek it.

Christians Should
Qualify To Vote
Christians should qualify to vota
this year. We are facing one ot the
most important National elections in
a decade. In Texas we have to elect
practically every oflicer from consta-
ble to governor. In addition to this
we have another statewide election
on the liquor question that will be
0.1 the greatest importance to the wel-
fare of our state. I feel that to exer-
cise the functions of a citizen is one:
of the highest, obligations of a Chriat-
ian. Only in this way can he render ■
his assistance to the success of the
moral forces of our community, our
state and our nation.
In Texas no one can vote without a
poll tax receipt,, except certain ones
who are entitled to exemptions-—Also
the poll tax must be paid this month
or it does not carry with it the privi-
lege of the ballot. (Only a few days
remain in which to do this). I want
to urge upon every one to pay their
poll tax. We owe it to our govern*."
mont and to ourselves,
The expense of the poll tax is only
$1.75, and most of this goes to the
school fund. Surely no one should be-
grudge that amount necessary Us
qualify for citizenship.
Then- are exemptions allowed.
Among them are those who are over
GO .sears of age. They do not have
to pay and are granted voting privi-
lege.- without their poll tax receipt.
There is another class who may not
understand their privileges and duties
at tliis point. They are the young
people, it is desirable that all our
>otfng people qualify to vote.
Those who were not 21. years of
age on January 1, 1(135', were not
■ barged a poll tax. They therefore,- .
do not have to pay it at this time.
Hut, if they vote, they must secure
during this month their exemption.
Also, if they will become 'i\ at any
time during this year, they will be
i milled to vote at any election, fol-
1.'Wing ih.,t date., but they must, se-
en iv Uit-si exemption now. (Even as

May I ask that the leaders and
