Lions Hear Riley
On Ministry Tues.
James Riley, evangelist who
is conducting a series of revival
services at the First Baptist
Church, was guest speaker at
the regular Tuesday meeting of
the Lions Club. The theme of
his talk was the preacher and
his ministry, as applied to any-,
one occupying a place of spiri-y
tual leadership in a communi-■
ty. . ’
He discussed four types of
ministry involved in such lead-
ership: a preaching or proclaim-
ing ministry, in which the truth
is proclaimed; church ministry,
in which the congregation is led
in the exercise of these truths;
a counseling ministry, one of the
pastor’s heaviest responsibili-
ties as he advises and leads the
individuals of his congregation
in forming and maintaining
right perspectives; the com-
munity ministry as a responsi-
ble moral leader.

Swatters Win Over
Fish’s Pretties
Tuesday evening, August 8,
found the Sweet Home Swatters
and the Pish’s Pretties having
a battle out on the local soft-
ball diamond. The Sweet Home
Swatters outswatted the Pret-
ties and won the game with a
score of 14-1. No scores were
made until the “Pretties” came
to bat in the top half of the
4th inning and made one run.
The Swatters weren’t going to
take this, so they started swat-
ting in the bottom half of the
4th and made 2 runs. From then
on, the Swatters just kept on
swatting the ball and, — well
— you know the outcome of
the game.
Rose Marie Turner pitched
for the Swatters and allowed 2
hits, 2 walks, and struck out one
of the Pretties. Loretta Pish
pitched for the Pretties and al-
lowed 19 hits, no walks, and
struck out 3 of the Swatters.
The most exciting incident of
the game came when Dorothy
Donnelly, one of the Swatters,
knocked a home-run with two
on base; this was the only
home-run of the game.
The lineups for the game were
as follows:

Harry Thiele is
Rotary Speaker
Rotarians, at their regular
luncheon meeting at Quast’s
Cafe Wednesday, heard Harry
Thiele report on his recent trip
to Valley Forge, the site of the
national Boy Scout Jamboree.
Thiele described the streaming
into camp of the 48,000 Scouts
from all over the United States,
and Scout masters who gath-
ered..
That huge crowd was massed !
in the camp arena on four occ- ;
assions: when President Tru-
man appeared before the group,
for the observance of July 4, at
a candlelight ceremony, and for
the closing ceremony which
stressed World Brotherhood.
Eight thousand of the campers
took part in the July 4, pagaent
presented on the massive out-
door stage.
Side trips to Washington, D.
C., Philadelphia, New York City,
and Niagara Falls afforded the
boys and their leaders the op-
portunity to see many points of
interest and places of historic
significance.
Russell Mason, former Yoa-
kumite now living in San An-
tonio, was a guest of the Club.
Visiting Rotarians included E.
C. Lambert of Hallettsville, Del
Kohler of Cuero, Bill White of
Cuero, and the Rev. James Riley
of Wills Point. Rev. Riley spoke
briefly, inviting the members to
the revival meeting in progress
at the First Baptist Church.
The program at next week’s
luncheon will be under the dir-
ection of Knox Armstrong. O.
C. Wagner will visit the club.
