AUSTIN, Dec. 27 More than 1400
Texas young people between the ages
of 18 and 25 were placed in private
jobs during the past month as a re-

forts or the assistance of NYA Rep-
resentatives, more than 130 other
young people, assigned to NYA Work
Projects, obtained private jobs. •
Preliminary reports for December
revealed that many Texas boys and
girls received private jobs during tha
holiday season.

ployment service also assists young;

able not only to the 16,000 youth*

"Bethlehem’s Significant Symbols",
an interpretation of their meaning,
was the subject of the inspirational
Christmas message brought to the
congregation of the First Presby-
terian Church by the Rev. Horace
N. Cunningham, pastor, Sunday morn-
ing. ' • ' -r- -
“There are villages and cities that
will never be forgotten. Among these
is Bethlehem of Judea, the birth place
of our Savior.
"Bethlehem has many symbols of
which she is proud. We do not have
time to consider them aH. There are
four that I want you to think about
at this time; namely. The inn, The
stable. The star, and the Babe.
“The inn in Bethlehem symbolizes
the need of man for a home.
"When God created Adam and Eve
He gave them a home, but there are
millions on earth today who have no
place where to lay their head* that
they can call home. Many of them
wander from place to place, having no
aim in life, or conscious destination.
These realize their need of a home.
''Especially during this season of the
year man yearns for a home. If he
or his loved ones have a home, if poa- i
sible, he turns his face thereto. There
is something within him that cries
out, "I must needs go home.” The
highways have been lined with cars
taking man home.
No Room In The Inn
“Joseph and Mary needed the shel-
ter and convenience of a home, but
there was no room for them in Beth-
lehem's Inn. In desperate need they
turned a stable into a home.
“Man in his desperation today, with
God's help, can turn any place into
a home, though it be only a stable.
“The stable 1* a symbol of humilia-
tion.
“Humiliating circumstances and
experiences affect the character of
man. Many allow such to carry them
down into the mire of ain and shame,
but there are those who use humiliat-
ing conditions a* rung* in the lad-
der of life to climb upward.
“Many of Our greatest citizens are
bora under humiliating circumstan-
ces. Many of them are born in ex-
treme poverty and face humiliating
experienoee throughout life
“Th* greatest man in all the world
was born in a etabie and was laid in
a mnnger a* Hi* cradle Humiliating'
Y«e! but He arose above It with a
pereonallty and character that ha*
given Him ftrat place in the hearts
of millions of all nation*

“Th* star of Bethlehem symboltoeo

The etar guided the ahephorde of

Mr. Steele was ordained as a Dsa-
eon in 1938, and became an ekier in
1908.
The resolution read and adopted at
the service was as follows:
"Whereas, God, our loving Father,
